Title: Santa Clarita Diet
Post by: Kaos on February 05, 2017, 09:47:15 AM
One weird, weird show.  Netflix original.

Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore as a realtor couple. Drew develops an unusual predilection and the family has to learn to deal with her needs as they spiral out of control and begin to impact everyone around them. 

Drew and Tim ham it up, knowing that it's not to be taken seriously.  So it's kind of bad.  It tries to be funny and does occasionally hit the mark.  There are some misses too, but it's interesting in an odd way. 

The worst part of the show is Barrymore. She absolutely cannot act.  The quirky cuteness she once relied on to get her through has faded to just awkward almost robotic mugging.

The best part of the show is relative newcomer Liv Hewson as the Drew and Tim's teenage daughter.  She's not attractive but she plays her part really well.

There are several walk on roles, including Nathan Fillion, Patton Oswalt and Andy Richter.

I like Tim.  A lot.  Was hoping this would be a good one.

Just pick up a new show  on the Netflix's.  Peaky blinders. Time period early 1900's. So far so good.

I was busy on Dec 8th (2014) and didn't see it. Looks like nobody else did either.
