iZombie -

Premise: “iZombie” introduces viewers to Liv Moore, a former medical resident turned zombie. After attending a party that results in a zombie outbreak, Liv finds her life transformed. To satiate her hunger and maintain her humanity, she starts working at the Seattle police morgue, consuming the brains of murder victims. Each brain she consumes gives her insight into the victim’s last moments and memories, which she then uses to help solve their murders.
