iZombie is both a joy, and a sadness to me, and epitomises what has gone wrong with the TV production.
Sure, it started as a being loosely based on a comic, but it went beyond that and told a great story. The first series was a delight to watch - amusing, shallow but captivating scripts, some corny but entertaining acting, pretty much all you would expect from light entertainment derived from comics. It was great.
Five series later, I am living on hope. Hope that the one joke would grow into something bigger (sure, the siege was an attempt to do that, but it didn't really work for me) . Hope that the episodes would grow, hope that it would stop being so samey.
In the end, I think that the appeal of iZombie (a well executed lightly amusing predictable comedic horror), at the hands of unimaginable Production Execs has been stretched out way past it's useful life - hence my sadness. It reinforces that. at the end of the day (or session?), these programs are made for the money, not the enjoyment.
But hey, do yourself a favour and watch the first series. It's great!
