WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS is batā¦ I mean, back! And itās just as relevant, funny, and outrageously violent after fifty-plus episodes. At this point, the ensemble is āfamiliar.ā However, this showās āacquired tasteā will be missed when it departs our TV screens after the sixth season. Iām sad to see it go, yet Iām also excited for it to go out on its own terms. This group of lovable characters didnāt start the fire, but the showās style will surely entertain audiences and āburn on, and on, and onā when itās gone.
A quick breakdown of the first three episodes
E1 THE RETURN OF JERRY š
The show hilariously introduces a new character, Jerry. But in typical WWDITS style, it quickly relinquishes them to the background. Sadly, though, E1 is missing Guillermo, and the chemistry without him shows.
E2 HEADHUNTING š¤©
Grotesquely, Laszlo is back using science to try and reanimate someone from beyond the grave. And the writers wisely pair him with everyoneās favorite energy vampire, Colin for some perfect Uber driving bits. Elsewhere, Guillermo gets a ton more screen time in some of the best comedy set in an office since Colinās cubicle days.
E3 SLEEP HYPNOSIS š¤©
E3 does zero to move the plot along but allows each cast member to shine. Out of the three-episode premiere, SLEEP HYPNOSIS is the funniest. Watching each actor play different versions of themselves is fantastic, especially Nandorās arc.
WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS has returned from its āsuper slumberā just in time to fill homes with Halloween-worthy laughs.
Itās available on Hulu FX.
