BEST DRAMA

iZOMBIE ( CW) If you judge iZombie based on the word “zombie” alone, you’re missing out on one of the most smartly written and surprising series on the air. Yes, it’s about a sentient zombie who eats brains, has visions and solves murders, but it’s also a relationship drama, a mythologydriven sci- fi show and — especially in its just- ended third season — a political allegory about fearing people we consider “others,” making it seem more relevant than ever.
