Running out of TV shows and movies to stream? The Purbalite is here to help, with another installment of our What to Binge Watch feature.
iZombie on Apple TV and Prime Video is a five-season horror series that was released in 2015. The show is based on the life of an over-achieving medical resident, Liv Moore (Rose McIver), who attends a party at which someone brings a serum that turns people into zombies.
The serum is unintentionally spread, causing a zombie outbreak. Moore attends the party and wakes up with a scratch on her arm and craving for brains.
In the first season, Moore has to quit her job as a medical resident to become a mortician. This is a way for Moore to satisfy her craving for brains without doing anything illegal to get them.
The first season also lets the viewers know how she navigates her life as a zombie, and how being a zombie changes her life both negatively and positively.
Subsequent seasons follow the pattern of her using her skills as a zombie to help solve crimes with the help of her close friends. They also dive into the conflicts between zombies and humans, who live together in an unsettling competition.
Overall, the show is an outstanding example of maintaining a level of horror and scares in a way that is not too gruesome for viewers.
