As most know this is a series that was a mid-season pickup last year, and as such did not get a ton of hype like many of the shows that start out right away in the fall (that was pretty much reserved for The Flash on the CW last season). It is another series based on a comic book. created by the show-runners of Veronica Mars.
The premise of the show is that a medical student, Olivia Moore, played by Rose McIver is turned into a Zombie during a boat party. She ends up distancing herself from everyone in her life (to keep them safe) and starts working in the police morgue where she starts to help a new detective played by Malcolm Goodwin solve murders. He thinks she is psychic, but she really gets visions of the murder victims by eating their brains. The only person who knows she is really a zombie is her boss at the morgue, played by Rahul Kohli, who is trying to help Liv find a cure for zombieism.
The show is one that has a case of the week format, with a larger story arcs playing out in the background that eventually come together by the end of the season. It does take a couple episodes to find its groove, but it does so relatively quickly. It sets up a larger story with multiple "bad guys" one of which is played by the great David Anders (of Alias and Heroes) and another which reveals itself later in the season and carries into season 2. Liv's ex-fiance Major played by Robert Buckley has an increasing role in the story as the season goes on, and Aly Michalka who plays Liv's roommate Payton is the main recurring character of season 1.
For those who get the DVDs the set is fairly light on extras. Just a few deleted scenes and a portion of the comic-con panel. The comic-con thing is about a half hour and provides insight into what the show runners were going for, like not adhering strictly to the comic, and how the actors approached their roles. Good for what is there, but there definitely could be more. Although it is probably lucky that the show got a regular DVD release and was not relegated to MOD DVD-R discs like a lot of series have been.
While some who were familiar with the comic book may hate that the show really just uses the comic as the guide and does not follow it to a t may not like the show, but I think anyone who is into the more supernatural/superhero genre of shows and movies who do not fall into that category should give it a chance. It is well written, has a talented ensemble cast with actors who were recognizable but not necessarily household names (and others for whom this is really their first big break). Rose McIver does a great job as Liv, and has the range as an actress to play a range of characters, because she essentially takes on a new personality each week. She owns the role so much that it is hard to imagine anyone else doing as good a job with that role. Whether you stream the show or buy the DVD set it is definitely worth checking out.

As most are aware now, there is a blu-ray available for both seasons 1 and 2. Frankly I am amazed since this is the first time I can remember a series released only on DVD (since the advent of blu-ray) has actually switched over to the other format (not counting shows that were already on DVD, like the Sopranos). It seems to be the trend now that only very popular shows even get a regular DVD release, and only the most popular of those gets blu-ray releases. If anything a show will get a blu-ray release and then switch to DVD (like The Americans), or go from DVD to DVD-R (Hart of Dixie, American Dad etc) or DVD-R to nothing (like You're the Worst). The blu ray A/V quality is very good. The extras are the same as the regular DVD release. Nothing new there unfortunately. It is a bit pricey for the short season and for some may be a double dip, but I think it is worth it to see a show with great visuals in the true HD format.
