AV Club:
The Walking Dead got ya down with its depressing, emotionally draining zombie apocalypse? Netflix has just the thing for that: Drew Barrymore as a suburban zombie whose death gives her a new lease on life. Santa Clarita Diet opens with the Hammond family—Sheila (Barrymore), husband Joel (Timothy Olyphant) and daughter Abby (Liv Hewson)—living the quiet, suburban life in the titular town, which is located about 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
But it quickly turns into a weird, fun comedy when Sheila dies, becomes undead, and starts feasting on raw meat and human flesh. From there, it works on a lot of levels. First, there’s the basic zombie comedy. The premiere episode has shades of iZombie and Zombieland, with a little Dexter thrown in in the form of keeping everything a secret from the Hammonds’ neighbors, who both happen to be cops.
