Summary Of Santa Clarita Diet
Debuting this Friday on Netflix, Santa Clarita Diet is a well crafted and entertaining look at the repetitiveness of suburban life through an undead lens.
Summary:
Shelia (Drew Barrymore) and Joel (Timothy Olyphant) are high school sweethearts who marry at a young age, have a daughter, and are realtors living the American Dream in Los Angeles. Shelia longs to be much more impulsive. Joel wishes that he could handle confrontation well. Their daughter, Abby (Liv Hewson) can’t stand how mundane they’ve become and just wants a car so she can be away from them.
During what appears to be a typical showing off yet another house, Sheila falls ill and proceeds to projectile vomit all over the place (think exorcist level of vomit). Then if that wasn’t …show more content…
Instead of being grossed out by her eating habits, you just nod and say “Of course she’s eating the man's leg, I hope she gets enough to eat.” Creating an odd reality isn’t anything new for Fresco, he was one of the driving forces behind My Name is Earl and Better of Ted.
It was refreshing to watch how they were able to take the whole Zombie phenomenon and use it as a vehicle to tell this tale. On the surface, this show looks like any typical zombie themed program. In reality, it’s about how after years of marriage of Sheila and Joel’s marriage is evolving after all these years. Before this unfortunate turn of events, it seems that their marriage is stuck in a holding pattern but now they're discovering new ways in which they love one another. For example, what better way to say I love you than to help your wife stuff a dead guy in a meat freezer so she can gnaw on his fingers later.
Finally, Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant play the roles of Sheila and Joel to perfection. Seeing Barrymore play off of her syrupy sweet demeanor and proceed to drop F-bombs and devour people on screen was not off-putting, it was charming. Olyphant steps out of the comfort of playing the tough guy and pulls off loving husband and partner in crime wonderfully.
