wonderful. never thought zombies can be that interesting
Whilst I enjoyed the episode, I do hope it isn' going to be a police procedural every week. Lucifer did that and it became very boring.
I love the protagonist , great show <3
Series premiere. I like the tone and the main character we will continue seeing this "girl with visions
I have no idea what to think of this series still. The first episode was okay. I guess I will have to keep watching.
Like the comic style at the introduction
This was a really good first episode.
Liv(Rose McIver) is a pretty decent acctress.I really like that Aly Michalka( Peyton Charles,Liv's roommate, is her name in the show)is in it.
I'm not a huge fan of zombies,never have been but this is pretty good.
I'd recommend it.
After the stress of The Walking Dead and the disappointment of Z Nation, I wasn't hyped to watch this show. However, I do enjoy a good zombie story so I told the Hubby that I'd give the pilot a try and I'm so glad I did! I LOVED it.
In the credits I noticed Rob Thomas's name and mentioned to the Hubby - "Hey that's the guy who made Veronica Mars.." Although I'm pretty sure even if I had overlooked that fact i would've known it was the same guy within the first 15 minutes.
If Veronica Mars turned into a zombie, this would pretty much be the same show - complete with somewhat off but stylish clothes, a complete change from perfect preppy girl to misunderstood loner, great comedy ("drunk cowboy celebration"), and a giant purse being lugged everywhere by the main heroine. But that's good news because I loved Veronica Mars. Let's hope iZombie has a better fate than Veronica Mars did.
The pilot was a great introduction to the series. Witty dialogue, great characters, an interesting premise (albeit a huge stretch of the imagination), and a nice little mystery all wrapped up in one little episode. What's not to love?
Not so sure. Love the Zombie genre, but this is a light-hearted show drained of the associated horror.
Not a bat way to pass some time without taxing your own brains :)
I don't like zombies in general, but I really like this.
Tru calling with a twist
Liked it

I was looking forward to this when discovering the synopsis and wasn't disappointed at all. Quite the contrary, I was even pleasantly surprised by this pilot.
Not a fan of the rather young cast but I've seen much worse and guess I can deal with it on the long run.
I'd say the premise was set a bit fast but on the other hand it didn't drag the episode.
Somehow it feels a bit like the TV series Forever (fantastic series, btw) just in a lighthearted format, plus a zombie instead of an immortal. Comedy is rather subtle here but very well used.
The only issue I have is the morgue sidekick or boss of Liv, Ravi. He's just too laid back about this zombie thing and too willing to cover her up and send her off to do police work, risking her cover. While I appreciate a non dragging establishing of characters, some more background about Liv and Ravi would have been necessary to make it more believable here. But that is nitpicking.
Also, Rose McIver looks really hot as a zombie but not nearly as hot as a human. Or maybe I'm just into zombiegirls. shrug
Sidenote: The cover for this show here on trakt looks awful with the "main" characters posting in front of a white screen. Looks absurd and not fitting of the tone the first episode set.
