TV Review: iZombie S2E7 Abra Cadaver
Liv consumes the brains of a death-obsessed illusionist who was murdered in cold blood during a magician’s convention in Seattle. Meanwhile, Blaine gives Liv some interesting news; and Major continues to distance himself from Liv.
iZombie continues its fun plot that’s worked well for it mixing in a mystery to solve with Liv eating brains and then some movement in the overall plot about zombies.
The episode though plays with that a bit mixing in some moments that are really solid and I wish there were more of. There’s scenes with the group discussing Liv that are great, and then there’s Ravi and his dating.
All of that is really solid and some of the ways they go back and forth is really funny. It really stood out because we don’t see that enough. Those moments really broke up what we see a lot on the show, and we don’t get enough of these scenes. So, more please!
Overall, the episode involves a murder of a magician, and while there’s some tricks and Liv doing some things, there’s actually not enough. I wish there were more magic tricks or Liv doing a lot more with her personality which isn’t quite as pronounced in this episode.
There was some good. Some bad. Not the best episode, but still very entertaining.
Overall Rating: 7.8
