I have watched many CW shows and agree with you about the quality therein. Took three years of torture before I finally quit Arrow, 1 season of Flash, 2 episodes of LoT, and 1 episode of Supergirl. Wretched writing. Sour, 2 dimensional drama.
HOWEVER ..... iZombie happens to be a fantastic show. It doesn't belong on the CW (well, there is a bit of obligatory young romance). The show is clever and very well acted. I heard about it and disregarded it based on its name and its home at CW. Figured it was going to be lame/10. Saw the first episode at a friend's house. Absolutely hooked since then. Light and funny. Sometimes even brilliant.
Quick off-topic synopsis/plug for this show I love:
Pre-med student gets scratched by a zombie. Has to keep steady diet of brains or she become lackluster and dull and eventually goes "full Romero" So she quits med school and gets work at police morgue for the easy access to brains. The hitch: she adopts personality quirks and memory flashes from the brains she eats (lead actress is great!). Given the source of the brains, she learns clues to murders, etc. She pretends to be a psychic to help the police solve crimes related to whoever's brain she ate. Loaded with subtle puns and obscure references. 10/10
