Santa Clarita Diet

Netflix Users: Over the past week I've noticed numerous commercial advertisements for a Netlix original series named "Santa Clarita Diet". It was advertised because Season 2 was available to watch.

It caught my interest so I started Season 1, got about 2-3 episodes in and was hooked. Mercy and I binged watched over a couple day period all 10 episodes for Seasons 1 & 2. Each episode is ~27 minutes......so you can burn thru a season in a few hours.

The show is about an ordinary husband and wife (staring Drew Barrymore & Timothy Olyphant) who are realtors until she undergoes a dramatic change that sends them down a road of "death and destruction". In a good way!

It's a comedy but one that's very dark and more than a little amusing. Barrymore and Olyphant have great chemistry and the actress who plays their teenage daughter is great.

I need to warn you this show won't play to everyones "appetite". It plays murder and cannibalism for laughs and those with a weak stomach and ears that bleed at cussing will get turned away pretty quickly. However this is a genuinely sweet and funny comedy about what it means to be a family and the lengths people will go to protect the lives and loves they have.

As we went thru the episodes we were so addicted that we couldn't stop watching. The more we watched.....the more we wanted to watch.

Can't wait for Season 3
