Tonight the CW premiered a television show about a young girl who becomes a zombie called iZOMBIE. Unlike the other zombie shows on television like THE WALKING DEAD or Z NATION, this show doesn't seem to take itself too seriously and follows a zombie model a little like the zombies in the movie WARM BODIES. This realization came to me as the young medical student who believes she is a zombie eats a brain then realizes she has the memories of the dead person who's brain is nourishing her body. Olivia joins the medical examiners office so that she has available access to the brains she needs. After realizing she has the memories of a murder victim she feels the need to pass on the information so the police can find the killer.
This show was fun and humorous. Being the pilot episode I am looking forward to seeing how this show will evolve and how they are going to deal with a brain eating medical examiner as the main character. I am sure there will be issues as Olivia has already had a physical accident, and I doubt as a zombie her wounds heal, so I am interested in her explaining her open wounds to her lover when or if she gets one.
It's an interesting idea to have a cognizant zombie, and I am hoping this offers a fun and new take on the zombie genre. And as a last note, I was watching this with someone who isn't a zombie aficionado like me and they too enjoyed it.
