Last week on iZombie, a rich, high society chick bit the dust, so Liv (Rose McIver) got her fashion on. Liv was so lonely (nobody remembered her birthday), she accidentally befriended the stylist murderer. Major is so lonely he sleeps with Gilda (Leann Lapp), Vaughn du Clark’s daughter, both of whom are blackmailing him into murdering innocent zombies. Not good. Peyton (Aly Michalka) returned after fleeing from zombie discovery freakout. She snuck a birthday cake in Liv’s fridge. Very sweet. Vaughn keeps a zombie doctor locked up in the Max Rager basement. Yep.

iZombie
Season 2 Episode 3: “Real Dead Housewife of Seattle”
Directed by Jason Bloom
Written by Kit Boss
Created by Rob Thomas, Diane Ruggiero-Wright
Starring Rose McIver, Malcolm Goodwin, Rahul Kohli, Robert Buckley, David Anders, Steven Weber
The CW
Air Date: Tuesday, October 20th, 2015, 9:00pm

Last week on iZombie, Liv ate the brains of a party hard frat boy, and boy… did she jump right in! The case had a same name twist. The victim was innocent – murdered because of mistaken identity. And the killer was super remorseful. We know the cases are just the frame for Rose McIver to showcase her versatility. Clive (Malcolm Goodwin) thought she was a crazy person as usual, but didn’t investigate it further than that. Hello? Detective! Ravi and Major (Rahul Kohli, Robert Buckley) go to a club so Ravi can “investigate” the effects of Utopium. Major joins in and passes out, so Liv rescues him. They share a sweet moment, but Major is so messed up, he pushes her away again and takes more drugs alone in his room. He is having a really hard time with the guilt of killing zombies, now that he knows some are good.

Spoilers below.

TV Review: iZombie 2.2 “Zombie Bro”

iZombie
Season 2 Episode 2: “Zombie Bro”
Directed by John Kretchmer
Written by Diane Ruggiero-Wright
Created by Rob Thomas, Diane Ruggiero-Wright
Starring Rose McIver, Malcolm Goodwin, Rahul Kohli, Robert Buckley, David Anders, Steven Weber
The CW
Air Date: Tuesday, October 13th, 2015, 9:00pm

iZombie returned last week for its 2nd season, and Liv’s (Rose McIver) life is a mess. Her mom and brother aren’t speaking to her, because she would not donate blood for a transfusion. Her roommate flew the coop after finding out her secret. Major (Robert Buckley) doesn’t want anything to do with her, after she infected him then cured him. Ravi (Rahul Kohli) is trying to recreate the cure. And Clive (Malcolm Goodwin)? She and Clive are good. Bringing down Max Rager and its smarmy CEO (Steven Weber) is still the prevalent overarching theme (along with making a cure). But iZombie is still about a case a week, or rather, eating the case’s brains so Liv can fake visions, while she really takes on memories and the personality of the deceased to solve the crime with Detective Clive. Major is blackmailed into killing a zombie by Max Rager CEO Vaughn Du Clarke (Steven Weber), and goes all Dexter doing it (except with remorse, of course).

Spoilers below.

iZombie
Season 2 Episode 1: “Grumpy Old Liv”

Created by Rob Thomas, Diane Ruggiero-Wright
Starring Rose McIver, Malcolm Goodwin, Rahul Kohli, Robert Buckley, David Anders, Steven Weber
The CW
Air Date: Tuesday, October 6th, 2015, 9:00pm

iZombie returned for season 2 tonight! Our plucky dead medical examiner, Liv Moore (Rose McIver) got scratched by a zombie (Blaine – David Anders) at a zombie-making boat party (courtesy of Max Rager and Utopia). She had to hide her secret from her family, her ex-fiance, Major (Robert Buckley and oh… zombie-ism is the reason), and the world. All except Ravi (Rahul Kohli), who desperately tries to figure out a cure. Her brain cravings come with a cursed side effect… Liv has visions and takes on the personality of the brains she ate. So far, in season 1, she’s been an artist, a thrill-seeker, a mom, and an alcoholic, to name a few. She uses those visions for good, and hooks up with Detective Clive Babineaux (Malcolm Goodwin), to help him solve cases. Other problems arise like: Blaine running a brain deli, Major driving himself crazy, and Liv losing her roommate.

Spoilers, spoilers, spoilers, spoilers below.

FX
Air Date: Thursday, April 30th, 2015 10pm

Last week The Comedians finally hit its stride and was laugh out loud funny. Josh Gad and Billy Crystal created magic while high in a late-night convenience store and as a result missed an awards show where both were nominated. FX President Denis Grant (Denis O’Hare) is delaying the premiere. Billy sees the writing on the wall, especially when Kristen (Stephnie Weir) compares them to mold”¦ you know, in a positive way.
