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…

Continue ReadingSteve 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.…
Continue ReadingPeople 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.…
Continue ReadingRAILROAD “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…
Continue ReadingWHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS is bat… I mean, back! And it’s just as relevant, funny, and outrageously violent after fifty-plus episodes. At this point, the ensemble is “familiar.” However, this show’s “acquired taste” will be missed when it departs our TV screens after the sixth season. I’m sad to see it go, yet I’m also excited for it to go out on its own terms. This group of lovable characters didn’t start the fire, but the show’s style…

Continue ReadingThe surprising MGM+ hit, FROM, returns with a premiere that doesn’t “Shatter” expectations but lives up to the lore and adds a few more twists. It doesn’t hurt that Jack “LOST” Bender, who directed the best LOST and FROM episodes, is in the director’s chair tonight. FROM is a slow-burn TV. It took thirty-five minutes for “monster(s)” to appear, along with a bit of BLAIR WITCH PROJECT-like set-up that doesn’t have a payoff. However, this week’s climax again proves why…
