Review


Another pretty good episode of iZombie. It is difficult to say that the show is great, but it is definitely good. Much of the show’s success should be credited to Rose McIver and her portrayal of Liv. There is something about the combination that makes the show charming, a little funny and sometimes somewhat bleak. The episode likely deserves a 7 out of 10 and is worth a watch.
