Not a zombie show/movie guy, but came for my love of Timothy Olyphant. For a brief summarization, the first season is solid, but not extraordinary. There are some great laughs, the characters are creative as well as kooky, and the material definitely has a style all its own. If you watched Better Off Ted (by the same showrunner), you'll know what I mean. Give this show your heart, and it will reward you with laughter and warmth. There's a couple pieces that can drag a little, but still some moments absolutely worth watching for. Like Drew Barrymore singing Rafi's "Baby Beluga" outside a storage unit while plotting crime. Cutest thing you will ever see.
Season 2 is where the show hits its stride. The jokes, the writing, the characters, the performances, the suburban non-sequitars; it is one strange show but damn is it funny. The scenes jump between the most mundane of middle class life and the most extreme reactions, often blending the two with impossible ease in a nonstop onslaught of comedy. Every character is so lovingly written and played, you'll fall in love with almost everyone. YOU'LL FALL IN LOVE WITH THE NAZIS; that's how well these characters are done. Every member of the main cast has a chance to shine in every episode, with the biggest kudos going out to Tim Olyphant as Suburban Husband/Realator Joel and Liv Hewson as the once-reserved, now increasingly badass teenage daughter.
There are so many scenes that are just impossible to describe because they make no sense out of context. This series creates one of the most bizarre yet entertaining worlds of any series, streaming or otherwise. Just make it through Season 1, please. Also, bring a strong stomach, because Sheila is a messy eater.
