Review: iZombie Season Finale (Spoilers)

The CW’s iZombie wrapped up its first season in a satisfactory manner. I greatly enjoyed iZombie’s freshman season. Even though I missed a couple episodes, the show was still accessible. I am not all that familiar with Vertigo series so I do not know how faithful the show was to the comic. In any case, here’s my review of the season finale. Beware spoilers at your own peril.

 Blaine’s brain delivery service plot came to an end as Major had his vengeance in glorious action movie fashion. Well, Liv helped. In doing so, Major’s two major arcs of being in the dark about Liv and the zombies and his quest to help the missing children came to an end.  Of all the characters on iZombie, Major undergoes the most character development over the course the series. He goes from unknowing ex-fiance helpless to help those around him to knowing about zombies, gaining independence from Liv, and being the catalyst for Blaine’s downfall.  Meanwhile, Blaine escapes apparently ‘cured’.

In addition to ending Blaine’s stint as the Big Bad of the show, the first season ends with several subplots and major plotlines on the horizon.  What will Blaine do next? Major most likely will be a person of interest as far as police are concerned. What will Max Rager do next and is it safe to say that company will be next season’s Big Bad? There’s the status of the cure and how it will affect those cured. What will happen to Liv’s brother? Oh, let us not forget all zombies out there that Blaine’s little enterprise was helping to keep under control. Will show still be a quirky supernatural police procedural with a touch of Dollhouse thrown.

All in all, iZombie’s first season ended on a high-note. If you have not seen the show, I heartily recommend it.
