Favorite Quotes From the Latest Netflix Original Comedy, Santa Clarita Diet

Santa Clarita Diet, the new Netflix Original Comedy premiered this weekend, releasing season one (ten episodes) in its entirety for binge viewers everywhere. After watching the series, I couldn’t help but jot down some of my favorite quotes to share – I’d much rather do that then get into spoilers for the show. I was “spoiled” on the big reveal of the show about a week ago when I saw a headline that didn’t hold back at all. It’s unfortunate that some media outlets do that. But you won’t be getting any details from me here other than the official synopsis below and some spoiler free quotes! And if you’ve seen the show, be sure to share your favorite quotes too!
