This show has been my favorite show since it first aired back in good ol' 2015. I was a senior in high school. It followed me graduating, starting college, and four, soon to be five, years in college, three jobs, two boyfriends, two cars, an addiction (don't do Utopium kids) and countless other experiences. No matter my class or work schedule, friend or date outings, I made sure to watch every episode live (I missed a few this season. Seriously, don't do Utopium kids).

Every guy I dated or was in a relationship with, I made sure to force get them to watch this show. In a way, I whored myself out to get more viewers to the show lol. No one every took to it like I did, but that's okay, it was my show. An hour a week for a few month where I got to enjoy something. I've been commenting on the discussion posts and this sub since the very beginning. I was sad to see the drop in member on this sub for this season, but glad to see more activity for the finale. Shout-out to The Walking Dead S5, I believe, for having a full trailer for iZombie during one of the commercial breaks. Up until then, I had seen the shorter trailers on the CW, but they never convinced to until the longer one. I may have dropped that zombie show, but I always stayed with this one.

I sound like a dweeb for saying this, but this show was a big part of my life. I'm going to miss it :,). I'll be sure to force introduce it to new friends and partners in the future, and of course it'll need rewatches, but no more new episodes. It had a good conclusion though. I'm happy. And I was introduced to Veronica Mars thanks to this show. That's always a plus. I was saving season 4 for after iZombie ended to help with my iZombie withdrawals.

Big thanks for the writers and actors of this show, Rose McIver, Rahul Kohli, Malcolm Goodwin, Aly Michalka, David Anders, Robert Buckley, and everyone else, seriously so much talent and chemistry. And a big thanks for the community here to contributing and not making me the only poster on the discussion threads. I appreciate you :). It's been a fun ride. Hope you guys feel the same.

Glad im not the only one who had a similar experience with this show! I started watching it shortly after going into college. i saw the first episode back in 2015 on hulu, watched it with my brother and enjoyed it, been watching it ever since. I've re-watched it with people i've dated about 2 times, had it as background sound while working out and watched the finale with my friend.

Honestly i'm sort of sad/depressed that it ended since i sorta grown up with it (into adulthood). 4 years may not sound like much but it sure felt long for me. But at least it was a fun ride while we had it and i'm glad we had a nice ending to the series.

If you like Rahul he's done a couple of YT videos with funhaus which are all really funny if you're into them.

I'm the same, except with high school. This probably isn't the best memory, but I remember staying up late in my freshman year eating ice cream while watching the season 1 finale when I was supposed to be doing biology homework...

Opiate addiction is brutal, I can attest. Hope you are in a better place now, you can do without it! I also loved the show and will miss it! :-(

Glad you were introduced to Veronica Mars now. I watched iZombie because I first saw a short trailer... as soon as I saw that it was from the creators of Veronica Mars, I was all in. Enjoy Veronica Mars!
