TV Review: iZombie S2E5 Love & Basketball

normal_izombietv_s01promo_001-1~0Liv, Babineaux and Ravi investigate a peewee coach’s death; Liv gives Major a pep talk; Blaine and Ravi work together on the cure; Suzuki’s widow visits Babineaux.

iZombie continues the cuteness as it has Liv eating the brain of a person who know a lot about sports, especially basketball. The episode is more of her spouting off sports facts, so it doesn’t take full advantage of Live McIver’s acting talents.

That’s fine as the episode really focuses on Major and his attempt to redeem himself. I haven’t been a fan of his addiction story or his assassin story. And moving past that, he’s getting better. But, the big thing is that he’s making some decisions as to his and Liv’s relationship status.

There’s also some movement on the whole zombie cure aspect of things which leads to some great comedic physical comedy from Blaine and Ravi.

Add all of this up, and the end of the episode, and this one really moves the overall plot forward in many aspects while also focusing less on the weekly whodunit. As usual, an entertaining episode.

Overall Rating: 8.5
