I was looking for something to watch on Netflix before I go to bed when I saw they just released the new 'Santa Clarita Diet' show. The marketing material looked interesting, and I'm always intrigued when they drop a new show! I am three episodes in and about to start the fourth one, so far I like it.
The show is very watchable in my opinion but the production value is pretty average in general. In fact, compared to other Netflix shows, you can tell the money went to the cast, which is great by the way. Even though you have Drew Barrymore, Timothy Olyphant, Patton Oswalt and Nathan Fillion appearing, I was expecting a little bit more from the performances given so far.
The story is amusing, there's a very attractive premise but it doesn't quite get there for me, however I'm having fun with the show, the comedy is mostly working. Props to the special effects, the blood and the vomit are definitely gross! I could see this grow on me as I'm watching it. If you are in the mood for a decent dark comedy, this is a different show by Netflix that might not be for everyone!
6.5/10
