Warning: Spoilers
Netflix have made some great shows in the last few years, with Stranger Things & Narcos being two favourites of mine. This is the first comedy that I have liked though.

Most of the jokes are standard sitcom style jokes but due to the story line (Sheila is dead and needs to eat people, not a spoiler, you already knew that) it has its own unique style and feel to it. It has been described as gory and as a horror in general but it's so over the top its just funny and makes you cringe a little.

The two lead characters are fine but I found the scenes involving Eric & Abby to be more interesting and Lisa was probably the character who provided me the most laughs with her sharp wit.

I liked the continuity of the episodes which made it a show that was really fun to watch through in 2 or 3 sittings. If it was a show where I had to wait a week then perhaps I wouldn't be compelled to keep watching it. Although I had a great time watching it, I don't think there is enough material here to have a long run, 2-3 seasons at most will probably be enough.

Overall a good 1st series but it has a few flaws. 7.7/10.
