Just when you thought the market was already oversaturated with zombie movies and TV shows, Rob Thomas (the creator of ‘Veronica Mars’, not the musician) brings a new twist to the genre with ‘iZombie’. Befo...
I had some mixed feelings about the premiere of the new American remake of ‘The Returned’ on A&E. Fortunately, the show’s second episode is an improvement in many respects.
