Loved season 2! I think I like the ending to season 2 a bit better than Season 1's, it didn't end in a way that makes the wait for the next season hard.
Also

I really hope Gary decides now that he doesn't want to die and becomes more of a regular.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say

Gary is gonna became a fundamental part of the upcoming... religion. Maybe a priest of sort? Maybe be treated like a relic?

I just started watching this on Netflix. I don't know why I skipped the show when season 1 came out. I thought it had failed as a show on this service. I saw this thread and I saw that Netflix made a second season so I decided to give it a shot. If Netflix will support it with a second season, I'll give it a show.

And I'm in love.

Two episodes in and I have laughed out loud almost 10 times. This is incredible. Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore are NAILING their roles.

Whatever the brand/type/genre of comedy that this show is - I need to know what it's called. So I can find more comedy shows like this hahaha. This is just wonderful.

What would you call this anyhow? A dark comedy? I don't know if that's the right term.

I don't know if there's a genre name, but I'd recommend taking a look The Good Place. I watched it a few weeks ago on Netflix and I feel it's brand of humour has similarities to Santa Clarita Diet, albeit it's more light-hearted and doesn't have gore. Both shows are among my favourites for the past couple of years.

Check out Better Off Ted, one of Victor Fresco's last series. Very similar style of dialogue and also one of the funniest shows I've seen in years.

Mikebison · Mar 26, 2018

Got a couple of episodes left, but really enjoyed this season. More of the same dumb fun that made me breeze through Season 1. The husband and wife banter whilst coming to terms with their problems is delivered so well. And that's as someone who's typically not a fan of Barrymore.

I think he also created ALF.

Same. Watched on a whim with my Wife and we loved it! I'm so surprised at the amount of gore in this show and it totally works.

Top NHST Product · Mar 26, 2018

Liked season 2 better than season 1 which I thought was pretty good but at times kind of off. I feel the chemistry between all of the characters improved and I can see it becoming even more interesting with where the season ended.

NightOnyx · Mar 26, 2018

I'm 4 episodes into season 2 and I think it's really fantastic so far. It definitely feels like everyone from the writers to the cast have really found their groove with the show, where as season 1 felt more like a feeling out process for a while. Timothy Olyphant is still amazing like always, but I thought the whole cast did a great job. I also am really happy Ramona is in it more this season, I loved her scenes in season 1.

julian · Mar 26, 2018

Really enjoyed season 2. Show continues to be one of the better examples of "premises that have no right to work but totally work". I'm also surprised by the various threads that you assume are dead and then they bring back or the couple of plot points that they leave hanging at the end of the season. They clearly have a lot of space to work with.

A little disappointed by how little of the neighbors there were this season. Also concerned by the timeline they've been setting up as season one and two are supposedly only a month in the show world. Always a problem when filming a show with young actors.

The two young actors aren't that young anymore (22 for Liv Hewson aka Abby & 21 for Skyler Gisondo aka Eric) so sudden Aging won't be an issue.

That's actually still young enough for someone to look very different after just a year.

Ah cool. Always hate when that happens on a show and then they either skip time or ignore it. Even from the last episode of season 1 to start of season 2 some of the actors clearly looked different to me (including Drew). But it's not the end of the world.

unless the clams get out

Khanimus · Mar 26, 2018

Season 1 was very much one joke that it liked to repeat of lovers quarrels, but replace the usual topics in regards to 'supporting your spouse' with exchanges about nonchalant murder or dismemberment. That said, it was charming. May check out the second season.

GK86 · Mar 27, 2018

First two episodes had me dying. I'm enjoying this more than S1 (not that it was bad) so far.

_swee_ · Mar 27, 2018

I binged both seasons, they were good.

Didn't realize Timothy Olyphant could do comedy, usually he's in serious roles

Firewithin · Mar 27, 2018

I had forgotten that the waitress and the always wonderful natalie Morales was in this until they had popped up.

when abby had to apologize to the kids and the parents walk in was hilarious

THEVOID · Mar 27, 2018

On Ep.5 and I'm loving this season. Really hitting it's stride.

Officer Big Mac · Mar 27, 2018

Had my first big laugh when

Joel tangos with the undead old guy. Felt they could have drawn out Joel's failing upward fight style though.

Joshua · Mar 27, 2018

Just finished season 2 and every aspect of this show improved. Seems like everyone involved upped their game between seasons.

I liked the expanded mythology stuff and that they pretty much explain the source of Sheila's zombism.

Also - hope we get more Gary in season 3.

Excellent. Thanks for the suggestions bruvs. I've added both these onto my watch list.

I'm already halfway done season 2 and I've decided to rate this as yet another 10/10 Netflix Original show. So far for me, those are:

Sense8
The Punisher
Ozark
Santa Clarita Diet
Black Mirror

Soda · Mar 28, 2018

I don't know why, but S2 was wildly better than S1 to me. Maybe I'm forgetting my feelings for S1 since I haven't watched it since it first came out, but man, S2 really was fun.

Cronen · Mar 28, 2018

Just finished the second season and loved it. Such a lot of fun. Bring on season 3.

THEVOID · Mar 28, 2018

2 eps left and I'm already bummed this season is almost over. I adore this show.

The rapid fire back and forth between the characters have become so fucking good.

MazeHaze · Mar 28, 2018

Show is awesome, it really came into it's own this season. Finale was nuts.

Fairy Godmother · Mar 29, 2018

I love this show so much. A lot of great scenes in this season, like the introduction of

Ball-Legs Knights.

They didn't skim on the gore bits either.

THEVOID · Mar 29, 2018

Wonderful season!!! Crazy-ass final and the show has a ton of heart.

Chemistry between the cast this season really hit it's stride. Bring on s.3

darfreeze · Mar 29, 2018

I really enjoyed season 2 a lot more than season 1. I think it got funnier too. Timothy Oliphant is just charming in every scene he's in.

Rafavert · Mar 29, 2018

I just love the Eric + Joel scenes. So good.

Paul · Mar 30, 2018

I watched season 1 yesterday and am doing S2 now and HOLY SHIT THIS SHOW IS AMAZING

So funny and the cast is fucking perfect.

Seeing Timothy being so completely different than Raylan just makes my day all day whenever he is on screen. But everyone else here is brilliant too.

Mathieran · Mar 30, 2018

Watched the first 3 episodes and it's very good so far. I like it a bit more than the first season.

HStallion · Mar 30, 2018

Only on episode 3 of season 2 and it's been really good so far. Seeing

Nathan Fillion return in the way he did

Officer Big Mac · Mar 30, 2018

Ann is a terrible character. Her dialogue is purely expository and her actor does nothing for it.

Futureman · Mar 30, 2018

Started watching season 1 based off this thread.

My fiancee and I agree... The concept is pretty stupid but we really like the characters so we'll keep watching.

Sr Kitsune · Mar 30, 2018

You guys should watch iZombie, it's better.

I have high hopes for S3. This shit is about to get crazy

Gamer @ Heart · Mar 31, 2018

Only on S1 right now, but I just have to chime in and say Timothy olyphants effortless charm and amazing looks have carried me through my mixed feelings of Barrymore 'quirky' schtick.

Also, the kid who plays Eric is fantastic. That is the best portrayal of selfaware dork I've seen that doesnt come off as irritating. He is super likeable but still feels down to earth somehow in a world were everyone is over the top and say way to clever things all the time.

You'll like s2 than

HP_Wuvcraft · Mar 31, 2018

Wow, s2 is much stronger than s1 from the get-go. It really nails the "sitcom with a zombie" concept that s1 kind of floundered with.

nihilence · Mar 31, 2018

Yes.

Watched season one alone and loved it. Finally got the wife on board to try it and then marathon.

Looking forward to more shenanigans.

z e r t · Mar 31, 2018

Season 2 was great. This show is so dumb but it actually works. So funny.

Bog · Apr 1, 2018

This show's great. More people need to watch it.

LGHT_TRSN · Apr 1, 2018

Gf and I marathoned s2 and loved it. Great chemistry between the main characters.

FireSafetyBear · Apr 1, 2018

Season 3 def should happen.

At the same time it's wonderfully filmed and looks great but also that it probably isn't that expensive considering the sets they use.

Heart_Attack · Apr 1, 2018

Season 2 was great. I was wrong for writing off this show after a lackluster season 1.

The Nazi Eating Episode was fucking hilarious. So meta.

DaniThePinguim · Apr 1, 2018

I loved season one but this was so strong start to end, just incredible.

Ramala · Apr 1, 2018

Loved S2. I just could not believe they committed to

Gary's return being more than just another one episode cameo.

It took me completely by surprise. One of the highlights in a fantastic season. S3 is going to be really interesting. So who do we think

the couple with the rocket launcher work for?

I'm going to guess they belong to some kind of secret old world "order" that was passed down through the generations to stop zombies from spreading at all costs.

Ogni-XR21 · Apr 1, 2018

Just finished it. I found season 2 to be better than the first, too. They really found their groove and how it all came together at the final episode was amazing.
