Santa
Clarita Diet Season 3 (3/10)
This
will have spoilers. When I first started watching this show I said
during the first season in a review “The reason I didn't rate this
any higher is because while her zombie mystery illness is not solved
I can not see this going past two seasons without it being resolved
or more people finding out and having to be killed.” Then during
the second season I said “I know in the past that I said I hoped
this wouldn't go too many seasons but I think a solid four seasons
with ten episodes each (please no more than that) and I'll be good. I
just don't want this to wear out its welcome.” Now I'm starting to
think it has worn out its welcome. I finished watching this latest
season of Santa Clarita Diet and was bummed out that they have piled
on more stories and lore but have made more questions than can
possibly be answered in the next season or even two. I had hoped that
this would be the last season and it could wrap up in some nice
fashion but the way it ended actually pissed me off.
The
neighbor lady's cop girlfriend Anne is worshiping Sheila and thinks
she is a gift from god. The zombie head in the basement accidentally
made another zombie. That zombie made another. Sheila made an old
lady into a zombie. This ancient group is hunting the family. Joel
tries to join the Knights of Serbia so he can pretend to be a zombie
hunter thus saving his family. The kids are in trouble for blowing up
a fracking place. The crazy chick that became a zombie even before
Sheila did returns. Sheila wants Joel to become a zombie and gets
pissed when he doesn't want to be one. The daughter Abby may not like
her friend the way he likes her, makes a new friend, and wants to be
a knight as well. It. Is. Too. Much. And what did I learn from this
season? That it should not continue, really. I liked the first
season. Liked the second even better. But this one felt like a bunch
of odd filler episodes until the real story got going. It is giving
me serious Dexter vibes, like, you can not have this many missing and
dead bodies in such a short amount of time and not draw national
attention. And the last scene of the last episode made me think
“Yeah. No need to watch this anymore.” And that sucks. The cast
was good in their parts The music, tone, and everything else felt
like previous seasons. It just felt like a waste of time.
