The third season of iZombie brings a lot of huge changes to the zombie and human communities alike. The end of the second season reveals a much bigger and more organized underground zombie community. The company Fillmore-Graves gives protection and cover to zombies, which includes destroying the evidence at Max Rager, employing zombies, and providing vision-free brains to them. Their propaganda posters to fit in On the other hand, the more visible zombie events, even though covered up, give rise to anti-zombie groups that kill zombies indiscriminantly. As a result of that and the rapidly impending Z day when humans will discover zombies, Fillmore-Graves and the organized zombies are planning for a sanctuary island in case humans become hostile towards them. The danger to zombiekind shows itself to be human fear and hatred. The very first episode, an entire family of zombies is killed just for being zombies. Things get progressively worse afterwards.
Liv and Major take opposing stances in this new world. Liv continues her work, eating brains of murder victims and using the visions to stop their murders. Some of the portrayals were a little over the top for my taste like the kindergarten teacher, but others were hilarious. Major acting like a teenager and Liv like his father was comedy gold. Plus the Dungeons and Dragons episode had all of Liv's friends playing the game together and some more silly role playing. She isn't a fan of Fillmore-Graves being so controlling and still does what she thinks is right. Major, on the other hand, goes full force into the Fillmore-Graves military where he has a fresh start. His reputation is sunk after being revealed as the Chaos Killer. People graffiti his house, sensationalize his life, and generally treat him. The zombies know the real situation and recognize how he saved a bunch of lives. It's the only place that people don't loathe him, so he throws himself in full force even when he becomes human, putting himself in life threatening situations. Liv operates independently despite a ruling zombie power and Major submits himself to it completely.
Other characters get to become more essential to the plot. Don E took over after Blaine lost his memory, but he's taking more of a mastermind role both by himself and under the command of Blaine's father Angus. He becomes the manager of a zombie bar called The Scratching Post where drinks have brains and you have to eat a habanero pepper just to get in. Blaine returns to himself midseason when he traps his father in a well and takes over his business. He pretended that the memory loss that came with the zombie cure was permanent to turn over a new leaf and please Peyton, but his plan failed and he throws himself full force into crime once again. Ravi goes through a lot of personal drama with Peyton and makes many advances in the study of zombies.
The best and biggest development comes at the very end of the series. A deadly flu outbreak spreads rapidly, affecting only the human community. The executive Fillmore Graves orchestrated it as a reaction to all the anti-zombie violence and many in the company support the decision. The zombies who don't agree save the humans by revealing zombies to the public and turning the infected humans into zombies in order to save them. Zombies are out of the bag and heavily concentrated in Seattle now. How will the whole world react to this? Where will they get their brains? I'm so hyped for the next season!
My rating: 4.5/5 fishmuffins
