This week Ms. McIver sings like an angel, though her first attempt is also hilarious, and that's not even the best part. Ties are re-woven, Ravi strongly asserts himself, it looks like Clive might have a budding love interest, and then there's the dog whose new name is a loud howl.
iZombie is a series like no other. To say it's brilliantly written is to do it a disservice. There are big laughs (as usual) in Even Cowgirls Get the Black and Blues, and they're juxtaposed with scenes that tear your heart out even as the evil Blaine explores new depths. If the first scene with Peyton and the last with Major don't bring a tear to your eye, "well... butter my butt and call it a biscuit."
I can't remember a show that showcased the enormous talents of one woman the way iZombie does, and one might assume that the rest of the cast would be mostly background, but iZombie has no equal. Each actor is compelling in his or her own right, and each more than holds their own opposite Rose McIver. What a pleasure it is to watch their development, even the bad guys, and realize that there are virtually no limits to where this show can go since Liv is a different person every week.
Me, I feel that each episode to date has been better than the last, but then maybe I'm just thoroughly mesmerized by Ms. McIver's stunning presence right down to her flawless American accent. Well... almost flawless. Our miles-beyond-lovely New Zealander (beats kilometers, right?) provided an ever so subtle hint to her land of origin in this episode, but if you have to "ask" when, you missed it. Better have another look... or ten.
