Santa Clarita Diet is back for a third season on Netflix today and it is so delicious. You don’t have to be a Zombie to want to eat up this show.
The season premiere picks up the next day and Sheila (Drew Barrymore) and Joel Hammond (Timothy Olyphant) are dealing with the repercussions from the night beforehand. You know when their cop neighbor (Natalie Morales) finds them burying a body and holding Gary’s (Nathan Fillion) talking head in the desert. Thankfully, she is a religious person and gets a sign, a huge explosion, and thinks that Sheila is a prophet. Therefore, Anne wants to help them now. But the couple cannot tell her Sheila is a Zombie. It is better for Anne if she just thinks that Sheila is invincible.
Talking about that explosion, Sheila and Joel’s daughter, Abby (Liv Hewson) and her BFF Eric (Skyler Gisondo) are the ones who caused it. This season, they will have to do everything in their power not to be caught by the FBI who suspects them. All while trying to help her parents not get caught in general. That is a lot for any high school student to handle and yet they are much more mature than their parents.
If only trying to keep those secrets was all they had to deal with, but it is not. The Knights of Serbia have to come to Santa Clarita and they want to kill all the Zombies. Guess who is on their list? Sheila! She and Joel have to find a way to keep her secret from them as they try to find a way to kill her.
Then there is Ron (Jonathan Slavin), he wants to live forever too. Therefore, he comes up with a way to do it. What happens when he is one of the undead? He does things that will cause a lot of problems for everyone because he is Ron.
These are just a few of the many crazy things that happen this season on the endearing show, and you don’t want to miss a single minute of it.
Did I mention Ball Legs is let out of the freezer and starts to run free? That will cause them to have a lot of explaining to do. Also, Linda Lavin has a great role in the series and it is her best role since Alice.
One more thing, pay attention to each episode because it all comes together for the season finale. It is a brilliant mapping of events and people that all lead to one moment that ties the whole season together.
Plus, a great final moment that sets up for next season. Which we better get Netflix.
