iZombie (The CW)
Yes, zombies are everywhere, but you've never seen them quite like this. Veronica Mars' creator Rob Thomas and Diane Ruggiero-Wright, his lieutenant on that teen private eye series, have offered up another quirky take on the detective genre with a young, female protagonist. But this time, our hero was zombified a few months back and can only stay more or less presentable if she consumes a brain every now and then. To accomplish this feat, she gets a job in the morgue, then realizes the brains she eats give her brief glimpses of the lives of the dead — glimpses that might help her solve murders. Loosely based on the comic of the same name, iZombie is just weird enough to feel refreshing, and it's blessed with Thomas and Ruggiero-Wright's usual gift for snappy banter. Debuts Tuesday, March 17, at 9 p.m. Eastern on The CW.
