5 Netflix Originals to watch if you love The Vampire Diaries

4. Santa Clarita Diet

Number of seasons: 3 (so far)

What it’s about: Sheila and Joel are just two normal married realtors. They live a quiet life with the perfect family of three (with their teenage daughter). That is until everything goes wrong.

Sheila suddenly goes through a change, turning her into a zombie. And while it’s a road of destruction, Sheila feels better than she’s ever felt before. The downside is the whole family has to adjust to this change and help make sure Sheila never runs out of human blood and body parts.

Why watch: If you want a slightly more adult series, then Santa Clarita Diet is the Netflix Original to turn to. Instead of vampires, you have zombies and in a comical nature. Don’t believe everything you’ve read about zombies; they’re not all braindead monsters.

This has the suburban element to the story, meaning small social groups and everyone knowing each other’s business. There’s also the need to live a normal life while dealing with this crazy truth of being a zombie. Then there’s the story of a family just trying to make things work when once is a zombie and the other is human.

Just how far will a husband go for his now undead wife? What happens when others in the town start turning? As a dramedy, it will have you hooked from the very first episode.

At the time of writing this, only two seasons of the show are available. Santa Clarita Diet season 3 drops in March. Watch it to make sure there’s a fourth!
