Kicking ass and taking brains

When over-achieving medical resident Liv Moore attends a party that turns into a zombie feeding frenzy, she ends up joining the ranks of the living dead. Determined to pass as human despite her pale appearance and newly listless demeanor, Liv forms a plan to resist her drive to consume fresh human blood by taking a job at a coroner's office, where she can secretly snack on the brains of corpses delivered there. Soon discovering that she absorbs the memories of those she feeds on, she finds new purpose by posing as a psychic and working with a detective to help solve their murders.

Reviews

“There's never been a series quite like this one: a self-mocking mash-up of zombie thriller, detective show and single-girl-in-the-city comedy.” – Washington Post

“In the '90s, we had Buffy. In the aughts, we had Veronica Mars. Now, we have the brain-eating, crime-solving doctor Liv Moore of iZombie.” – Slate

“It even uses comic-book-style illustrations and graphics at the start of some scenes. But one can enjoy this show without channelling one's inner fanboy.” – Media Life
