Featured reviews
It's hard to dislike this show. It has so many gifted and just plain funny actors. It's not gut busting humour, but rather a mellow guffaw. How you can muster enmity against a gloriously silly display like this is beyond me.
This show is hysterical. Reminds me of the British 'The Office' without the uncomfortableness. Some people said the jokes don't land but that's the point. It's supposed to be awkward. So glad I found this. Not many shows interest me.
This show grows on you if you enjoy Halloween and vampires and office comedy and mockumentary style shots. Keep em coming!
This show is Great! Packed with humor, a Great decor, a lot of worldbuilding and Good acting!
Matt Berry as Laszlo Cravensworth is Great in this-you can tell hes having the time of his life with the role.
Mark Proksch, playing Colin Robinson ofcourse nails the dry humor of an energy vampire and is my personal favorite of the vampgang.
Doug Jones as Baron Afanas adds that classic monster vibe hes known for and much like Kirsten Schaal as The Guide it fits the show perfectly.
That said, there are a few misses.
Guillermo, played by Harvey Guillen can be inconsistent and is acted a bit chaotic, hes not a great actor imo.
Kayvan Novaks Nandor also feels a bit inconsistent like he forgot how Nandor would act at times. Nadja, played by Natasia Demetriou is entertaining but her characters quirks can be a bit much at times.
Like i mentioned the shows worldbuilding and overall aesthetic are Great, you can tell a lot of care has gone into every detail. Even Season 4, which gets flak from some fans, brought something fresh and i found it quite enjoyable.
This is a series thats creative, funny, and worth a watch.

What We Do In the Shadows is one of the best new comedies to come out in years, it's actually one of the funniest comedies I've ever seen! I absolutely loved the movie so I thought this was going to be a letdown but boy was I wrong...EVERY episode is great!
