So I wasn't planning on doing this review, but I felt like since I recently watched Veronica Mars and reviewed that, then I should review this as well since they share the same Exec. Producer Rob Thomas. iZombie is no Veronica Mars; however, they share many similarities, but me loving it is not one of them. Let me explain. (I will be doing a lot of Veronica Mars comparisons.)Summary: Girl was a doctor for the living. Girl went to party. People took a new drug. People turned into zombies. A zombie scratched girl. Girl is now a zombie. Girl is still a doctor, but now works on dead people so she can eat brains. Sometimes girl get visions of how person died. End of summary of girl.
That's legit what this show is about and while I was watching all kept thinking was this is silly. Everything just seemed silly. I don't have a problem watching zombie shows (I watch TWD) and I don't have a problem with shows based on comics (Powers, anyone?) so why don't I like the show?
The girl has layers of Veronica Mars like bunches and bunches of layers. She talks like Veronica Mars and even her mannerism is like Veronica Mars. But after pulling back all these layers the one thing that is purely her is her personality. Liv, the girl, has a I don't give a shit attitude towards life, while Veronica Mars gave a whole lot of shit and dished out just as many. Liv is just living her life (see what I did there?), while Veronica dedicated her life to revenge. They are similar in a lot of things, but their personalities have a big enough difference to say Liv Moore is not Veronica Mars 2.0, but I totally wouldn't hate on people if they thought she was.
