If The Walking Dead is at the serious end of the TV zombie series spectrum, then Netflix's Santa Clarita Diet is at the opposite extreme. It's absurd, it's over-the-top and it's hilarious. Watch the trailer for Season 3 below.
Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant play your average suburban couple with one big difference: Barrymore's character, Sheila, is a flesh-eating zombie, trying to keep her need for human meat under the radar, and only snacking on bad guys (or girls).
In Season 3, we pick up the morning after the events of the Season 2 finale, and although the Hammonds have staved off one set of issues that had them on the verge of making a run for it, new problems arrive on their doorstep … literally.
Barrymore and Olyphant continue to whole-heartedly embrace the ridiculous as their characters deal with Sheila’s affliction (or is that a gift from God?) with the show staying just the right side of preposterous.
Meanwhile, the Hammonds' daughter, Abby (Liv Hewson), and neighbour Eric (Skyler Gisondo) find themselves in a tricky situation of their own, resulting in them pretending to be a couple. Prepare for hearty chuckles. (On Netflix now) 4.5 stars
