First Post : declared in Santa Clarita Diet: Netflix show is Desperate Housewives-meets-Dexter-meets-The Walking Dead

They don't know, we don't know. It's this kind of casual riffing and irreverence that makes Santa Clarita Diet a fun binge-worthy show (Netflix, you've done it again!). If you thought zombies have been done to death, or ahem "undeath", you're in for a surprise with Netflix's latest offering — Santa Clarita Diet. Gets eaten by zombie Barrymore. Sheila Hammond (Barrymore) and her husband Joel Hammond (Timothy Olyphant of Justified and Damages fame) are your normal suburban real estate agents.

The Santa Clarita Diet, Season 1

Thus: The Santa Clarita Diet is a show about Trump and American fascism, even though it doesn't want to be. The Santa Clarita Diet is not only about suburbia, it is suburban in its normalization of anti-social violence. The Santa Clarita Diet does not; it's funny and warm because being a zombie turns out to be a valid and advantageous lifestyle choice. Compare it to The Stepford Wives, which famously used the suburban zombie as a metaphor for conformity to patriarchal authority. Thus, like Trump voters, Santa Clarita is a kind of frightened periphery become its own center.
