Review:
Rating: [Watch it] / It depends / Skip it
  • This is an odd show. On paper this seems hilarious. While it creates an absurd combination with family sit-com problems and zombies, it's not as funny as it should be. Barrymore is the laid back free spirit that craves human flesh. Olyphant is her cowering husband trying to balance the insanity of murdering people for food with trying to be a good husband.
    While it can be gory, it maintains such a comedic bent that the gore is cartoonish, until you see Barrymore snacking on human body parts which quickly turns unsettling.
