A look at the lives of four vampires who've lived together for hundreds of years on Staten Island. The self-appointed leader of the group is Nandor the Relentless, a warrior and conqueror from the Ottoman Empire. Then there's the British vampire Laszlo -- a bit of a rogue and a dandy and a fop, he might say. He's a lover of mischief and a soirée, but not as much as he loves seeing Nandor fail in every attempt. And then there's Nadja: the seductress, the temptress, the vampiric Bonnie to Laszlo's Clyde. Also cohabiting in the vampire household is Guillermo, Nandor's familiar; Colin Robinson, an energy vampire and day-walker of sorts -- he feasts on humans, but not on their blood.

Of course, it's on the nose, but it always manages to make the joke land. When it comes to pure pleasurable TV watching, you can't go past What We Do in the Shadows. Go to Full Review Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 12/14/2020
3/5
It isn't laugh-out-loud comedy, but it's satisfyingly silly. Go to Full Review Allison Shoemaker RogerEbert.com 12/14/2020
If [the first season] was missing something in the age of binging, it was the kind of energy that compels you to just let that 'play next' feature keep a-rolling. That's not a problem anymore. They grow ever stronger, feeding off of all of us. Go to Full Review Michael Cuby them. 10/03/2022
The series is only leaning into its absurdist tendencies even more this go-round, making for a stronger show that doesn’t sacrifice any of its inherent weirdness. Go to Full Review Ralph Jones NME (New Musical Express) 07/08/2021
3/5
It's debatable whether the characters in What They Do In The Shadows emerge as believable people - or believable vampires, rather - and, after watching the first four episodes of the new season, we didn't find ourselves wanting to watch more.

There is no reason What We Do in the Shadows should work more than one episode. But it does, and the second season is even better. The writing is absolutely phenomenal this time around as well. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Paul S @PManRager Nov 27 Another great season from one of the most hilarious shows I've ever seen. I definitely recommend it for horror and comedy fans! See more Geeth M. @amoviefanig Aug 18 the curse is genuinely ny favorite episode of any sitcom ever. loved this season even more See more Mete H @Han12737373 05/20/2025 Best comedy-vampire show and it has very good cgi and casting See more Ms. S @RT75802305 03/05/2025 Even better than the first season! *What We Do in the Shadows* is delightful, silly, sassy, and really detail-oriented. The writing and the cast's delivery are so flawless that the show might seem oblivious to itself, but it is actually absolutely aware of its mastery. See more Craig B @Boundsy 02/02/2025 Absolutely fantastic tv show. It took the intriguing premise from the inferior movie and really developed the brilliant characters (of course, you can do this with 6 series more so than just the one movie). The whole cast are wonderful, with each character getting their time to shine in the spotlight. Witty and memorable stories with well thought out (and at times absolutely bonkers!) set pieces and character interactions. If you didn't go much on the original movie, it's worth giving this a go... you may be pleasantly surprised. See more Esra Y @RT95409318 12/15/2024 Still going strong and maybe even better than the first season. See more Read all reviews
