    iZombie (TV series)

    Olivia "Liv" Moore was a rosy-cheeked, disciplined, over-achieving medical resident who had her life path completely mapped out…until the night she attended a party that unexpectedly turned into a zombie feeding frenzy. As one of the newly undead, Liv is doing her best to blend in and look as human as possible. Her appearance now passes for "Goth," with shockingly pale skin and nearly white hair, and her demeanor has gone from exuberant to exhausted. The change in Liv is baffling to her mother, her former fiancé, Major, and her best friend and roommate, Peyton, who still has the high-energy, Type-A personality that Liv has completely abandoned. Despite her post-traumatic ennui, Liv has devised a way to resist her baser urges to devour fresh human brains – she's taken a job in the Seattle coroner's office. In this appropriately dead-end job, Liv can secretly snack on the brains of the many Jane and John Doe corpses that make a final stop in the morgue. Despite carefully covering her tracks, Liv's boss, Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti, discovers her secret and is surprisingly excited about the scientific possibilities. Even with her boss' enthusiasm, Liv remains resigned to an eternity without hope or purpose, until she realizes that with every brain she consumes, she retains a portion of that person's memories. Liv begins to experience visions from the point of view of the murder victims. Much to the surprise of Dr. Ravi and homicide detective Clive Babineaux, Liv often has detailed knowledge of crime scenes and motives that she can't easily explain. Posing as a psychic, she works with Detective Babineaux to investigate these crimes and discover who is responsible. It's not the same as being alive again, but at least Liv can find purpose in her undead existence by helping Clive solve the murders of those who are indeed fully dead.

    It's the CW network. That alone should put most people off

    I Dunno, ive read a couple of iZombie's and while its alright.. I'm not sure that its a comic that would transfer well to the screen.

    That synopsis does sound like total garbage too.

    Just saw the promos for this... It's coming out soon and all I can think is 'kill it with fire'. Seriously... Did people not learn? You can make a great TV series based on zombie comics: it's called The Walking Dead. We don't need another one! Damn... I want to puke on the producers' faces. Makes no sense. And I thought "Here, baby baby" was bad, but this... When will idiots STOP with the freakin' BRAINS THING?! I'm sorry. If this is thread necromancy, I apologize...

    I thought the the comic back in the day and and the TV series now would benefit from not using the z word in their title and just have the protaganist be called monster or some word they made up themselves.
    Obviously this has nothing to do with the zombie genre at all and they use the word to get attention. This backfires I think.
