what we do in the shadows review

"What We Do in the Shadows" is a comedy TV series that follows the lives of four vampires who have lived together on Staten Island for over a century. The show is based on the 2014 film of the same name, co-written and co-directed by Flight of the Conchords’ Jemaine Clement and Thor: Ragnarok’s Taika Waititi. The series has been praised for its dry and deadpan humor, with jokes that are crisp, fast, and funny. The visual effects are also employed effectively, folded seamlessly into the handheld-camera aesthetic so they seem all the more uncanny. The show has been described as one of the funniest ongoing shows on TV. The four leads are great, and the characters are well-developed, with enough different drivers of narrative momentum to keep viewers watching. The writing is of high quality, with gags stuffed in every episode. Overall, "What We Do in the Shadows" has been well-received by critics and audiences alike, with many praising its unique take on the vampire genre and its ability to make the undead funny.
