The time has come to bid farewell to our favorite TV vampires, Nandor, Nadja, Laszlo, and Colin Robinson, and their trusty familiar/sidekick/friend Guillermo.…

THE FINALE won me over by playing perfectly on how I feel about the show. Its ending feels a bit out of left field. Can’t this hilarious, unique show go on forever? And then fits exactly into a story that knows it’s time to move on. What’s changed? Nothing and everything. How can you end a nearly perfect show with an ending that satisfies everyone?…

E10 wasn't top-tier WWDITS, but it's enough to set up an epic finale next week.…

WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS delivers one of the best episodes in the series, spoofing THE WARRIORS and other movies and TV shows. As predicted, the series wisely returns to moving the story forward with a slew of reveals and one “truly bloody” vampire guest star. I never thought I’d see a vampire bat chase in a TV series. It’s thrilling and hilarious watching the vampire bats fly after each other (also, kudos to finally having the characters use…

E8 is funny. Yet, it can't disguise the fact that it almost feels like a party before the series inevitably turns to moving the story forward again.…

While Guillermo faces an identity crisis at work, this show continues to know its identity as it reaches the final episode’s home stretch. MARCH MADNESS is hilarious, thanks to Guillermo’s office antics, and much more heartfelt than expected, thanks to Lazlo grappling with human mortality. The MVP this week is easily Lazlo. Despite the seriousness of mortality, his character has one funny piece of dialogue after the next about demons and March Madness (don’t ask). WHAT WE DO IN THE…

Steve Coogan is an actor who can improve any TV show or movie, and he does just that, playing Lazlo’s father in the latest WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS. That combination of witty banter and homages to REAR WINDOW and GHOSTBUSTERS makes E6 a hilarious addition to this already funny series. Whether you’re a shape-shifter, energy/regular vampire, or a ghost, WWDITS continues to kill it in its final season. It’s available on Hulu FX.…

People don’t get to use the word “crazy” anymore, but it’s “crazy” that more people are not talking about the genius of WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS. Nandor’s “SHUTTER ISLAND” ARMY might lack the comedy punch of last week’s RAILROAD, but it makes up for it via emotional payoffs for our lead characters. Furthermore, seeing The Baron back is fantastic (even if only for a few minutes). It’s available on Hulu FX.…

RAILROAD “kills two cats with one arrow” as it takes the ensemble cast and splits them into two hilarious stories his week. The first involves Nandor and Guillermo. Their power play is flipped on its head as we see their dynamic change via their workplace comedy roles. Elsewhere, Colin and Lazlo’s dynamic continues to be a weekly highlight. They create a railroad scheme with some of the best one-liners in E4. RAILROAD graduates “Third Eye Blind” style thanks to a…
