Finished iZombie S3 and it was a great season.

Wikipedia says S4 will be great too, S5 will be pretty good, and the final season finale will be "one of the worst TV viewing experiences I've ever had".

Maybe you can just do like with Star Trek Enterprise and pretend that the final episode doesn't exist?

In one episode, Blaine (David Anders) was singing right after the intro, and I was convinced that he must be the one singing the intro too, because they sounded so similar.

Nope, the intro is an edit of the album version of "Stop, I'm Already Dead" by Deadboy & the Elephantmen, and the singer is their lead Dax.

I abandoned it at some point. It was fun for the first couple of seasons, then it descended into a generic "shadowy group has Big Plans" plot, the zombie aspect becoming mostly irrelevant.

@Mans R We 're on the last season, and I don't feel that the zombie aspect ever became irrelevant.

Most zombie stories are about how humans react to the zombie threat and its consequences, but zombies are the backdrop. This one is different because the zombies are also people and have agency, but it's the same thing: The focus is on how people act now that there are zombies.

Each season has different drivers and challenges, but zombies aren't just a gimmick and it's not just about Liv eating a new brain and McIver playing a new character each episode (although that would take me very far already, she's awesome doing it). None of the seasons would make sense if there weren't any zombies, the challenges and situations are unique. Maybe season 2 is the most "just a crime-solving drama with a brain-eating oracle", but not entirely.

Nah, I don’t think it was that bad. The story gets a proper conclusion. It doesn’t leave you hanging in frustration like, say, the ending of Lost. πŸ˜…

(What annoys me more is that you can’t buy S4 or S5 on DVD. They never released it. And now iZombie left Netflix in my country, so I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to re-watch it. 🫀)

@clacke: inhibited exhausted pixie dream boy πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺπŸ‡­πŸ‡°πŸ’™πŸ’› I love all of iZombie. The seasons are indeed different from each other, but that's a good thing I think.

Another singing thing in this series: at some point Liv was singing and I tried to look up who they used to dub the voice because it sounded so good. Turns out that was Rose Mciver herself!

S4 was great!

I love how every season ends with some major thing changing and the next season has a world where everyone is still in the same place and with the same relations (except when they're not), but the rules and context of the world have all changed and now we'll see how they deal with that.

Season 4 was an especially big leap, with a jump of several months ahead, and it made for a really fresh story, but with all the familiar faces.

Season 5 was less of a drastic leap, but is really interesting so far and very much not an abstract hypothetical fantasy story, but directly related to policing and how we run our societies.
