Watching Monday

[brigdh]

I had a very boring week and watched almost nothing, except for the premiere of iZombie. I hadn't even heard about this show, so it was just a lucky coincidence that I happened to watch it, but it had a cute opening. Liv unexpectedly becomes a zombie, but finds that she can maintain a mostly normal life as long as she eats brains regularly. So she gets a job at the local morgue, as you do. Soon her coworker has figured out she's a zombie and thinks it's really cool, she's helping a cop solve mysteries (eating brains allows her to recover some of the memories of the dead), and regaining a sense of purpose in her (after)life. It sort of reminds me of Sleepy Hollow, with the mix of supernatural and cop show. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

That sounds... really a lot like Vampire Prosecutor, actually! Only with a different monster-type.

I haven't watched that, but from the wikipedia description, they do sound very similar!

I really liked iZombie; even if I hadn't know going in that it was 'the new Rob Thomas show', I would have figured it out pretty quickly.

I never watched Veronica Mars, but I know he has a wonderful reputation from that, so I'm glad to see he's got another show! I hope it goes as well.
