iZombie: The Complete Third Season [Blu-ray]

+++Warning, this will contain spoilers from the prior seasons, but no major giveaways from season 3 ++++The third season picks up right after the end of the second season finale where the soldiers entered to clean up the mess of the Max Rager party turned zombie fest. In the first episode, we learn that they are a part of a Zombie led organization called Fillmore-Graves, which is preparing for the day when humans en-mass learn of the existence of zombies.For the main characters, the season is really about the fall out from the past season's events, especially now that the entire group knows the truth. Major deals with the fallout from the revelation that he is the "chaos killer", Blaine has to deal with being human again and attempting to start over, Ravi is working toward perfecting the cure, and for Liv (and really all the other characters) the season is really about taking a side in the humans vs zombies confrontation. As is the case with the prior seasons, the show is mainly a case-of-the-week serial, with larger story arcs which play throughout. The big one is the humans becoming more and more aware of the existence of zombies, told through a group of conspiracy wingnuts. As is also the norm Liv takes on a range of personalities (again brilliantly done by Rose McIver), and the show alternates between funny, sad, dramatic, all on a dime. The writing and acting are all top-notch, and the show manages to pack a lot into a limited amount of episodes.For those who get the blu-rays, they are the Warner Archive MOD discs. They do, unlike a lot of other MOD sets include closed captions and some extras. Those consist of deleted scenes for select episodes and about 30 min worth of the comic-con panel discussion with some of the cast and writers. Not a ton of extras, but good for what is there.

This is not the most high-tech show about the undead.By that I mean "iZombie" does not rely on startling special effects to tell its stories. Instead, it relies on really good writing, a strong cast, and - with a couple of rare exceptions - smooth editing.That, frankly, is how it should be.In this third season of what is a highly entertaining series, the writers have twisted story lines into pretzel shapes without - and this is important - making them unbelievable.For example: A former villain loses his memory and becomes - at least on the surface - a good guy. The reason: He simply does not remember how evil he once was, or why he was driven to such heinous acts in the past. Significantly, he then falls in love and later confesses that, in fact, his memory has returned. He knows he was once a very bad man but he wants to continue being a good one.Why does he do this? Because he's in love with someone who is fundamentally decent and that leads him to "do the right thing" and confess.What happens next is also believable but it's not my intention to spoil the viewing experience so if you want to know, you'll have to watch the series.My point is that rather than deliver shallow scripts that are overloaded with CGI, the writers and producers of this series have given us believable characters - hard to do given the genre - and, just as importantly, given us reasons to invest in them.There were some glitchy editing issues in this season, however, that very nearly caused me to downgrade it from 5 stars to 4. These involved the death of a secondary character. Normally, that might not matter so much but in this case that death plays a pivotal role in the story arc. In the editing process, however, important scenes about her life and death are cut and that makes one of the succeeding episodes difficult to follow.Annoying?Certainly.But not so annoying that I felt the need to downgrade the entire season.The result: 5 stars.

Great series. Highly recommend.

I always worry about DVDS arriving damaged or messed up on one of the DVDS and having to deal with “will they replace this without all the drama now that it’s been opened?” Thankfully, that wasn’t the case and have enjoyed all seasons ordered. Just waiting for season 4 in Amazon so I can order.

I ordered seasons 1 and 2 because I like all things zombie and I was curious as to how this was handled for television. My sat. provider doesn't offer this channel, so I had to resort to DVD to satisfy my curiosity. Season 3 just as good as 1 and 2. Love the premise, the uniqueness of sentient zombies, makeup and acting. Excellent zombedy.

The show is still a good combination of action and comedy. I found the writing starting to lag a bit but overall still better than anything that calls itself comedy these days.The actors do a good job bouncing between the serious and then not so serious episodes. I recommend this show to any Buffy fans out there. I believe you will find value viewing in this show. Anyone who is a fan of this show should try an episode or two of Buffy to see what I mean.Over all this show is entertaining and fun! Good Stuff!

❤️ love this series, wished it didn't end abruptly.

iZombie was a good comic book and a fantastic television series. Rose Mciver isn’t given enough credit for her acting range. Each episode the main character Liv Moore takes on a new personality due to eating the brains of a newly murdered human.

It's very funny. I will purchase all remaining seasons if available as it was so good.

What isn't to love about iZombie?!Will say for people from the uk the only shame is, delivery damaged the case.But otherwise it's amazing
