TV Review: iZombie Season 3

Saved, unexpectedly, from Vaugh DuClark by an all zombie ex-military company trying to build a fair life for zombies, Liv, Ravi, and Clive try to get back to normal solving crimes and trying to make a cure to zombieness. Major finally gets a break, getting to join the zombie run private security force (a perfect fit for his skill and boy scout savior charm) Fillmore-Graves as a soldier. A return to being a zombie sees him also getting to renew his relationship with Liv.

As the crew tries to set up a safer world fr zombies and humans, an underground zombie truther group starts digging in, trying to expose the afflicted, including a number of wealthy business owners turned by Blaine for profit, and a city mayoral candidate. But, of course, sometimes even zombie allies can become enemies.

This season, if possible, gets even busier. While we still have the amusing side effects of human eating as crime solving, we also start to feel there’s a major change coming in a world still reeling from a zombie outbreak. The fact that show writers haven’t necessarily killed off earlier bad guys, namely Blaine who get a good, solid chance at a redemption arc this season, or kept them relegated to bad guy status, gives us a lot of interesting side stories. And Stacey Boss, who is the most interesting mob boss ever.

How can you stop watching now? I can’t.
