The new “Santa Clarita Diet” (Netflix, streaming) strikes nearly the right tone in trying to be a comedy about a suburban mom and real estate agent suddenly turned zombie. Drew Barrymore portrays the affected mom, whose new condition is heralded by an ungodly amount of vomit and the lack of a heartbeat. After a couple of signature tough guy roles, Timothy Olyphant is difficult to take at first as a husband so accommodating to his wife, he agrees to help provide her fresh meat. The rest of the neighborhood is cheery enough to make you want to stay around for a few episodes or more. At least until the next blood feast.
