Santa Clarita Diet (2017–2019)
10/10
Best Marriage in TV History
21 November 2023
I just finished re-watching this show, and it's even better than I remembered.

The concept of the show is quite surreal (zombies, casual murders, and lots of vomit), so it might not be for everyone. But if you are willing to dive into the absurdness of it all, you are in for a ride.

It's actually funny without being depressing, which is quite rare in these days. It is unique and original, and interesting, and so much fun. This show has an assembly of really well thought-out characters, where each has their own individual multi-dimensional personality. I really cannot think of a weak link when it comes to a character in this show.

Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore do an absolutely phenominal job of playing a married couple, trying to get by under very absurd and unusual conditions. Their chemistry really manages to capture the day-to-day interaction between a married couple who genuinely love and like each other. Without any doubt one of the best marriages I ever saw on TV.

More than anything, the viewer can feel that the creators of this show put a lot of thought and heart into this show - and it is clear that they had fun while doing so.

Even years after it finished, this still remains the Netflix show I am the most upset was cancelled. If you don't mind a bit of absurdity, this show is a gem that you will be grateful to have watched.
