The show will follow Joel and Sheila, husband-and-wife realtors in the titular Los Angeles suburb, who live a boring existence until Sheila goes through a change that sends 'both their lives down a road of death and destruction-but in a good way'.
Santa Clarita Diet's second season overpowers season one in practically every way possible...One of the best things about Santa Clarita Diet is its phenomenal cast and in the show's second season everyone's only more comfortable in these roles.
The writing remains very crisp and the action is punctuated by the show's comically theatrical gore. It is a reliably amusing series, and its return is very welcome.
If Santa Clarita Diet is going to succeed with self-awareness, it needs to give Joel and Sheila as many honest, joke-breaking scenes as their daughter (Abby still feels like the only real character on the show), and it needs to amp up the insanity.
...there's something nice about seeing a family sticking by each other through thick and thin, even when their matriarch is using a human heart as a stress ball.
