iZombie

Premiering during the peak of the undead craze, iZombie successfully subverted expectations by humanizing the monster. This Rob Thomas production utilized a procedural format while building a dense, serialized world where the supernatural and the mundane collided. Rose McIver’s chameleon-like performance anchored the narrative, allowing the series to explore identity through a comedic lens. Its legacy lies in its tonal dexterity, shifting from lighthearted tropes to high-stakes political allegory as Seattle became a walled city. While the series concluded its five-season run with a definitive finale, its unique blend of noir and horror continues to influence modern genre-bending television.
