    It’s the perfect balance of heart and humor, with some actual bleeding human hearts on display for good measure, Santa Clarita Diet remains the benchmark of comedy horror on TV right now.

    Combined with reliably sharp writing and the actors’ comedic timing, it all makes for an immensely watchable show, even in its third season.

    Santa Clarita Diet remains a gorgeously flavourful one. Fill up.

    I hate zombie shows.

    This show is fantastic and defies the zombie show stereotype. Acting and writing are superb and is laugh-out-loud funny. The show's take on relationships is insightful. Olyphant is handsome and wry. Barrymore, is...Barrymore. Always very good since E.T. (I'm not a huge Barrymore fan, just saying that she's a great actress and I call it like it is). Love the cast playing the kids especially Eric's character. He's like a young Jason Bateman. I had to look him up just to make sure he was not indeed Bateman's son. But he has his same look, style, and comedic acting chops. As a female nerd myself, I can really identify with his character. Mr. Ball Legs is super creepy (eep - the eyes).

    I'm home sick so I already binge watched season 3 and since I'm home sick for a few days, decided to re-watch season 1 and 2 because ...there is nothing better to do. And this show is extremely entertaining.

    Thanks for another great season. Bring on season 4. Please, no one get caught up in any scandals so that we can have the same cast.

    Where's Rick? Bring him back.

    I absolutely love this show. It's pretty rediculous and somewhat absurdist so it definitely isn't something I'd recommend to everyone... butI absolutely love this show. It's pretty rediculous and somewhat absurdist so it definitely isn't something I'd recommend to everyone... but it really manages to take the zombie comedy genre and make something new from it. The acting and writing is all so over the top but somehow it works perfectly. I will say that I think season 2 was an edge better than season 3, but I am already 100% ready to binge season 4.
