More Critic Reviews for What We Do in the Shadows Season 1 All Critics (68) | Top Critics (19) | Fresh (64) | Rotten (4) With all the riches of the vampire myth in literature, folklore, art and cinema to plunder, What We Do In The Shadows is visually arresting, smart and witty. May 14, 2019 | Full Review… Suzi Feay Financial Times Top Critic What We Do in the Shadows works. It truly, pardon the pun, doesn't suck. Apr 20, 2019 | Full Review… Wenlei Ma News.com.au Top Critic I've seen the first batch of episodes of this series. And they're all so clever and genuinely amusing. Mar 29, 2019 | Full Review… David Bianculli NPR Top Critic It seems to me that What We Do in the Shadows has more up its sleeve than just re-creating the vibe of the original. Mar 27, 2019 | Full Review… Dan Kois Slate Top Critic The four leads are great, the jokes crisp and fast and funny, and the visual effects are employed just as effectively as in the movie, folded seamlessly into the handheld-camera aesthetic so they seem all the more uncanny. Mar 27, 2019 | Full Review… Glen Weldon NPR Top Critic It fits perfectly into FX's off-kilter sense of humor, and actually gets a little funnier with each episode. Mar 26, 2019 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic What We Do in the Shadows subtly taps into the notion of its vampire characters as immigrants. Aug 18, 2019 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Mimi Wong Mediaversity Reviews Everything in this series works perfectly. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 12, 2019 | Full Review… Gaspar Zimerman Clarín Nadja is the perfect foil for Laszlo's pomposity, but also shines when she gets to lead her own storylines. Jul 29, 2019 | Rating: 9/10 | Full Review… Kieron Moore Starburst This intelligent comedy will end up being among the best of the year by its own merit alone. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 16, 2019 | Full Review… Álvaro P. Ruiz de Elvira El Pais (Spain) View All Critic Reviews (68) Audience Reviews for What We Do in the Shadows: Season 1 Jul 31, 2019 4 si 7 rup baraca vampirica Andrei D Jul 29, 2019 This show is so good, I can't believe it. Every subsequent watching reveals even more to enjoy. The scripts are hysterical, and the actors are perfection. It actually makes me happy. It's my new favorite show. jw b Jul 28, 2019 Absolutely hilarious! I need a season 2 immediately. Frankie D Jul 10, 2019 Hilarious, a must watch for anyone who loves comedy. Joseph A Jul 04, 2019 Absolutely weird and funny ! Dan V Jun 30, 2019 Lacks the charm and humor of the original Aeon C Jun 21, 2019 This show is spot on from the original movie with the exception of the new additions in the form of emotional and energy vampires. We chuckle throughout every well written and acted episode. Guillermo plays to the documentary cameras with such stiff brilliance. Can't wait for season 2. Daniel E Jun 20, 2019 Absolutely delightful. I want more immediately. John C Jun 17, 2019 By far one of the funniest & original series I have viewed in a long time!! My only criticism is that there is simply not enough of it! Supported by a fantastic cast & crew, alongside some incredibly creative writing, this show deserves to linger in the shadows for years to come!! Phil C Jun 14, 2019 Great continuation of the film. It explores and expands upon the universe. They can sustain the comedy throughout the entire season and the characters are all interesting and different. The concepts are well executed and the dialogues are hilarious. The actors do a spectacular job. I hope we get plenty more seasons.
