Zombie/doctor/amateur detective/faux psychic (to explain her visions after eating a victims brain)? Who the hell thought this up? Hope they get an Emmy.
Before going on, I watch series like Bones, Castle et al for their rich character interactions; that's what's important to me. The puzzles are just the excuse. And iZombie, from what I seen, is going to fit in very well with that preference.
Interesting characters, intelligent scripts, good cinematics all seasoned with wry and deadpan(can't resist that)humor. I've got a new favorite.
Despite checking the spoiler box I'm not going to cite chapter and verse. Instead, watch and enjoy as each element reveals itself.
As for the negative reviews: no reason everyone has to like everything. Lots of people prefer clever puzzles over character interaction and, even myself, I do enjoy a puzzle that, on first view, is both plausible and believable, keeping its flaws from interfering with the parts I like. But, in the final analysis and whatever the series, very few puzzles stand up to scrutiny and most detective/cop show procedures just don't make sense. As for each episode of each series, bottom line is like/don't like and stick to the reasons for your preference. Broadside pans just sound like 'I want this to a different show'. Guess what, it isn't so review the show on the screen.
