History Series / IZombie

* PragmaticAdaptation: It keeps the main star's condition the same, but gives her a cast of reliable humans, moves her to the morgue instead of a grave digger, and took out the BigBad who gets away at the end of the first six-issues scot free, and takes away her amnesia. The net result? A story better suited to syndication, more tightly written, and with things to care about, while still keeping the core of the main star(the ennui).

Until getting scratched by a zombie in the middle of an outbreak left her undead. Now she's a zombie, who has to eat brains to stay intelligent and civilized. Instead of continuing with med school, now she works in the morgue. And since her need to eat brains comes with the side effect of seeing how the ...er... "brain donor" died and picking up some of their traits and skills, she also helps a detective solve murders.

iZombie, based on the comic book of the same name, is a series that premiered March 2015 on TheCW.

* EyeRecall: How Liv's visions from eating brains are showed to the viewer.
* GenreSavvy: Played with. Liv begins buying zombie [=DVD=]s and games in an effort to grasp her condition and its limitations.

** Liv's condition is the result of being scratched by a guy who had just taken a new designer drug, that causes Zombie-ism. She maintains her intelligence as long as she eats brains now and again, and doing so also gives her visions of the death of the person whose brains they are.

* StagingAnIntervention: Liv's family, five months after the party at the lake. They think she suffers from post traumatic stress and thinly disguise the intervention as the return of "potluck Tuesday".

* TheyFightCrime: Liv is an undead Medical Examiner's assistant. He's a [[SassyBlackWoman Sassy Black]] cop. They solve murders.
* WritingIndentationClue: Babineaux gets the location where the bad guy is holding two women by taking an impression of a Post-It pad. Lampshaded by Liv, "Damn, that really works!"

* ZombieGait: Invoked, as Liv shows up dressed as -- you guessed it -- a zombie, for the haunted house.

Until getting scratched by a zombie in the middle of an outbreak left her undead. Now she's a zombie, who has to eat brains to stay sane and agreeable. Instead of continuing with med school, now she works in the morgue. And since her need to eat brains comes with the side effect of seeing how the ...er... "brain donor" died and picking up some of their traits and skills, she also helps a detective solve murders.

* Canada,Eh?: Liv's first major flashback is absurdly Canadian.

* MysticalWhiteHair [=/=] WhiteHairBlackHeart: Played with. Liv's hair began turning white after she woke up dead, and turned all the way white. She is a zombie who becomes less intelligent the more infrequently she eats brains, and expects to go all traditional movie zombie if she goes too long without eating brains.

* XMeetsY: Series/PushingDaisies meets Series/{{CSI}}.

* Bathos: A scene in the pilot has Liv visit her ex-fiancé only to discover him with another woman; the fact that they're playing a zombie-killing video game adds a touch of BlackComedy.

* CursedWithAwesome: Liv has SuperStrength, and can survive being shot. She can also have a conversation while having open heart surgery with no anaesthesia. On the other hand, she can't taste food anymore unless it's smothered in hot sauce, and nothing but human brains will satisfy her when she's hungry.

* GenreSavvy: Played with. Liv begins buying zombie DVDs and games in an effort to grasp her condition and its limitations.
