Warning: This post contains spoilers for episode one of Netflix's Santa Clairta Diet.
Projective vomiting and eating a person in one episode?TV Series Archives Not a problem for Drew Barrymore, who plays zombie mom Sheila in Netflix's new Santa Clarita Diet.
"Nope!" Barrymore said when asked whether anything was too gross for her to do while filming. "I was into all of it."
The horror-comedy, which launches on the streaming service on Friday, follows suburban couple Sheila and Joel (Timothy Olyphant), real estate agents who have to adjust when Sheila suddenly finds herself craving only human flesh.

If the plot sounds weird, that's the point.
"I was looking for a different way to do a family comedy," show creator Victor Fresco said in an interview. "I like taking big ideas and then grounding them. What would it be like if your wife woke up one morning and was undead and eating human flesh? How would you navigate the world -- from both Joel's perspective and from the Sheila perspective."

“The show is about human relationships and family,” Barrymore added. “It goes beyond wacky.”
Fresco, known for shows such as Better Off Ted, said having Barrymore on board was great because she was "game."
"She read the pilot and she really wanted to do it, I think she was just in the mood to eat people," he said. "There was never anything she pushed back on. We did not have to talk her into anything."

So far, critics are eating the show up.
As USA Today's Robert Bianco wrote, "At heart — and this show does have a surprisingly warm, beating heart — Dietis a comedy about the lengths we’ll go to protect the ones we love and preserve a sense of normalcy, even in the most abnormal situations."
Santa Clarita Dietis streaming on Netflix now.
