New series on Tuesday nights on The CW in the US. First episode was last night.
It's a loose adaptation of the comic-book of the
same name, and was developed by Veronica Mars' Rob Thomas and Diane Ruggiero-Wright.
Rose McIver plays Olivia "Liv" Moore, an overachieving ER resident who reluctantly attends a party, only to wake up in a body bag and find herself the only survivor of a small-scale zombie outbreak.
Infected at the party, Liv becomes a form of zombie. Now pale and deathly, she is still capable of reasoned thought and able to live a relatively "normal" life, but only if she maintains an occasional diet of human brains.
Liv switches her residency to the morgue so as to have an easy supply of food, and finds that by eating the brains of dead people she is able to have visions of the moments leading to their death.
Cue crime procedural supernatural comedy-drama, with Liv working with a rookie homicide detective to solve a recent murder...
I watched the pilot tonight and really enjoyed it
