Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore in a ten-episode Netflix comedy about a zombie virus. What's not to like? This was short and silly and, honestly, more fun than I expected it to be. It's like a cross between Dexter and Married - Barrymore's become a zombie, and it's given her a new attitude on life, and her marriage improves because of it as she and her husband (Olyphant) find and kill people for her to eat. What's sort of impressive is that this was, in spite of everything, a self-contained and well-formed first season of a story I'd happily continue watching. If I have any complaint here it's that Olyphant, although he's funny, is just too hammy by a hair here. But otherwise, I'm good - this is a really easy watch. By no means necessary, but what really is these days?
