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.
