It’s weird to think that as this point in her career, Drew Barrymore has never lead a TV show, but she’s finally doing so in Netflix’s new series Santa Clarita Diet.
Sheila Hammond (Barrymore) is an ordinary realtor who undergoes a huge change and finds herself among the undead. Part of this involves the desire to eat flesh, and with the help of her frightened but loyal husband Joel (Timothy Olyphant), the pair adjust to this new life together, doing whatever it takes.
Something about this show just doesn’t feel right; there’s nothing about the concept that doesn’t necessarily work, but just watching this trailer, it feels like something is off. Still, it could mean nothing, as all the pieces for a good show are there, most importantly the one where it’s being made by Netflix who have proven themselves to be some of the best content providers around.
Santa Clarita Diet is available to stream on February 3rd
