"Mainstream TV has a consent problem," says Rachel Racza. Often, the nuances of consent are lost in the narrative, she explains. But The CW dramedy starring Rose McIver as a zombie named Liz is an exception. "The consequences of Liv’s meals create a platform for the characters to frequently check in," she says. "They acknowledge lapses in reason, work to find mutual comfort levels, and have ongoing discussions about what consensual sex within a complex relationship can look like." She adds: "The dire consequences of turning someone into a supernatural or monstrous being serve as a natural catalyst for these conversations."
