My thoughts on the first season of Santa Clarita Diet. (Part I).

*Netflix released a Timothy Olyphant/Drew Barrymore headed horror-comedy and of course, loving Timothy O and Drew Barrymore like I do, I had to watch. Besides, it also has the waitress and little Tommy Doyle, so it was a no-brainer to at least give it a try.

I've talked about binge-watching on Netflix quite often, including with this show, and I've managed to binge-watch it twice (and I'm not even a little bit sorry about it).

I'm sure it's not for everybody, as alot of people I know have sensitive stomachs and don't really get into the whole "zombie" thing. If you're thinking about giving it a try, but you're on the fence to the whole "zombie" thing, just know, it's not exactly a Walking Dead situation and you should probably just go ahead and give it a try, because it is HILARIOUS.

Timothy Olyphant is at his comedic prime (something that way more people should be aware of), Drew Barrymore is superb as always, and the kids/supporting characters are pretty damn hilarious themselves and add alot to the series. (Liv Hewson + Skyler Gisondo = comedic genius).

With the second season finished filming and scheduled for release sometime in 2018 (I'm assuming around February or March?), I thought it might be a good time to catch up with the Hammonds.*

Episode One: So Then a Bat or a Monkey

Official Synopsis: "Sheila and Joel's marriage receives a jump-start when Sheila debuts a truly killer new personality and an anything-goes menu. And they used to be so normal."

My thoughts: *Timothy Olyphant has incredibly beautiful hair.... that is all*

So.... Sheila has the option to sleep with Timothy Olyphant Joel alot and doesn't take him up on it? Sounds implausible, but alright. I agree with Sheila, I would LOVE to be as bold as J. Law and feel free to cut my hair off on a whim (but I'm a wimp). Between Joel being that annoyed at the toaster oven and Abby wanting a car, I can see why Sheila would have some stomach pain. Ugh, Dan is the WORST, but I love that the waitress is a mom! Poor Eric, I can literally feel him trying to shrink down as little as humanly possible. I don't blame him. WOW, THAT IS AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF VOMIT. So.... Zombie Sheila wants to sleep with Joel as much as possible? That sounds much more believable. I love that they're all trying to figure out was wrong with technically dead Sheila and the first stop they make is to Eric. I feel you Eric, I too was the weird neighborhood kid. Eric explaining how Sheila might have to be "put down" is hilarious. Timothy Olyphant is at his prime hilariousness in this show!! Sheila gets a new Range Rover and dance party and Joel gets a nervous breakdown and a new toaster.... seems about right. Gary is like Dan, he is also THE WORST. Annndddd.... Sheila just ate Gary. Like, alot. And Joel walked in on it.... JOEL IS THE BEST. 

Episode Two: We Can't Kill People!

Official Synopsis: "The Hammonds try to live their new truth, Abby comes to a hard realization while browsing comics, and Joel treats Sheila to a very expensive meal."

My thoughts: *trying to balance having to eat people and have good hair has to be exhausting* How can you NOT find the lid for the storage container that has Gary's mutilated/goopy body in it?! Clearly you have not thought this through and it's going to be a problem. Sheila is all excited that their friends are listing their house and Joel is like, "are you f*cking kidding me right now?!" Nothing is funnier than Timothy Olyphant on a roll. I think every couple on the planet has had an argument about missing tupperware lids. They spilled Gary!! *crying laughing face* How are y'all just gonna act casual? You're literally standing in the middle of the desert, covered in blood, and holding shovels. Mormons don't just go around cleaning crime scenes, Joel! Ha! It's Abby and Eric.... Abby tracker jacked them and it's hilarious. Damn.... Eric really is a criminal mastermind. Are eating his balls the same thing as having an affair with him? F*cking Dan.... mind your business and don't worry about what they're spraying on their lawn in the middle of the night. California has a law that says you can't return a car? Damn, Cali. I agree with Sheila. Joel can tell Dan he's spraying for ants (apparently tiger ants?), but really, it's none of his f*cking business. You know, for being a virologist, Patton Oswalt isn't really open-minded. Sheila chasing that rooster around the yard reminds me of my childhood.... surrounded by farmland, you have to do some weird shit. Eric was trying to help Abby feel better by ditching school and taking her to the comic book store.... but Abby just snaps and it's hilarious!! Aw, Joel is so excited about selling the house that he wants to take Sheila out to a nice dinner.... at the morgue? Seems convenient. $500 for a f*cking foot?! I bet that creepy little morgue dude makes a mint on his "side business." Joel is gonna apologize for yelling at Sheila and offer to help her kill people? Awww...... "they've been a team since highschool, why stop now?!" Three cheers for Joel Hammond!

Episode Three: We Can Kill People

Official Synopsis: "Sheila's tummy is growling and Joel needs to find her someone tasty ASAP. Meanwhile, Abby embraces her inner badass and helps out a friend in need."

My thoughts: Sheila is worried about Abby's mental health? Don't get me wrong, she's probably got some issues, but clearly Joel is the one having a mental break. Now he can't even have his omelet in peace before killing. *face palm to head* Y'all, I know you want to keep a close eye on Abby, but I don't think this whole "family dinners" thing is gonna work.... besides, she's a teenager and her and Eric are gonna get into some shit. So.... we're on the lookout for a young Hitler for our next victim? Cool, cool. I mean, if you HAVE to be a murderer/murderer accomplice, your victims should probably be in the "Hitler/I'm a piece of shit" category. Ugh, Dan. It doesn't matter what kind of ant spray they used creepy/smile of a serial killer neighbor, mind your business! It's true, ants can be a nightmare.... realtors should know this! Exactly how big is a "coffin sized" freezer? Like, do coffins just come in a standard size and sometimes you have to special order them? Good thing y'all have that storage unit. I mean, I have a storage unit too, but mine's for random furniture and household shit that my hoarder ways won't let me part with, not a freezer for dead snacks. Poor Eric.... Abby is just dragging him along not realizing that he is totally in love with her. How are they gonna get even with her friends twenty-six year old drug dealer boyfriend? Also, how did he not know that girl was like fifteen or some shit? Rick the other neighbor cop is much more helpful than Dan. I like Rick. Y'all are just gonna kill that drug dealing ex-boyfriend in one of your pricey listings? Actually, that's pretty smart. I'm loving their "kill" outfits. *laughing* I knew that Sara girl lied about her age. Joel s just gonna let him go, because Sara lied and he sells weed to support his sister financially? Actually, that's a good reason.... but Sheila is not gonna be happy about it. Told you.... poor stoned Joel. DDDAAMMMNNNN.... Abby just tear-gassed that fool and took Sara's sweater back. Could Eric be more in love with her at this point? Ah! I reckon that's what that guy gets for yelling. I mean, Joel barely rear-ended him, he deserves to be eaten for being such a d*ck. Family dinner time! None of them are about to talk about their real day.... poor Joel. He can't even enjoy shrimp anymore.

Episode Four: The Farting Sex Tourist

Official Synopsis: "Sheila inspires her friends and insults the principal. Joel bonds with Abby, and Dan makes a damning discovery while spraying for ants.

My thoughts: She's just gonna make a man smoothie in their blender? Damn, I hope they have a completely separate one to use for Joel and Abby's milkshakes and such. Hey, it's the waitress again!! And those ladies are power-walking like nobody's business. No one is surprised that Dan is bad at sex and treats it like a military operation. I hear you, Alondra.... you're not the only female that wants to follow John Legend on tour. I mean, have you seen social media? Protein enriched diet, huh? Surrreee..... What kind of bookstore are you in, Joel? What exactly is zombie porn? You know what, don't answer that. Is that a picture of what happened to Sheila, but in medieval times?! Yes! Buy that painting Joel, it's a start. Yeah Sheila, you better grab that piece of "meat" before Rick sees it. What the f*ck, Dan?! Spray your own damn yard and mind your business. That show "Neighbors from Hell" was most definitely written about people like Dan. Does anyone still speak Serbian? I mean, besides people that actually live in Serbia. Screw that principal. Abby is not corrupting Eric.... much. Besides, how are you just gonna imply that she's stupid? I hope Sheila eats you. That's right, Joel. Sheila is crazy. I'm not sure if Eric's "pep talk" really helped Sheila or not, but it seemed to. I love that Joel took Abby on a bike to his and Sheila's "spot" and they're both freaking out about everything that's happened. They needed a good freak out moment. Joel might have just saved that principals life, because Sheila was totally about to eat him. He managed to suspend and then unsuspend Abby within like three minutes. WHAT?! Principal Novak is Serbian?! Oh Joel, you ain't catching that guy, he's scared! So, with Sheila's advice the waitress Eric's mom starts having an affair, Rick bought a Range Rover, and Alondra is leaving for a February full of John Legend? Nice. Of course Dan found Gary's finger. *face palm to face*

*I love the way this show juxtaposes everyday life with both horror and comedic elements*
