Scare-a-Thon Day 22: Santa Clarita Diet season 2 (2018)

  I love this show.  Unlike some other zombie shows I could name, Santa Clarita is bright, fun, and colorful.  

Sheila (Drew Barrymore) and Joel (Timothy Olyphant) have weathered Sheila's turn to the undead and managed to create the serum that stops her from deteriorating.  All is not roses, however, as the string of murders Sheila is forced into for sustenance are bringing the cops closer and closer to their trail, a pair of professional rivals (Joel McHale and Maggie Lawson) threaten to take their realty listings, and their daughter Abby (Liv Hewson) roasts them constantly.  Oh, and Sheila's not the only zombie game in town. Can Sheila and Joel discover what's behind the zombie outbreak, stop those bitches Chris and Christa from getting their development deal, and be good parents/people?  After all, killing Nazis is practically community service, right?

This is a super quick watch, only ten episodes at a half hour each.  It's funny, bloody, heartwarming (and eating!) with one of the most perfect casts in television.  It's streaming through Netflix.
