The Review: What We Do In The Shadows Season 2



What We Do In The Shadows Season Two 10/10

Episode 9


This show is too damned funny. This is one of those series that I wonder why more people aren't talking about it. In the past two seasons, twenty episodes total, there have been no episodes that haven't made me crack up laughing. This episode starts with Laszlo cutting apples from his tree because as a vampire they are gross to him and he is lured away by a ghostly voice that belongs to a goat. He gets sucked into a portal into the sky shouting “What kind of goat sorcery is this?!” Yes, I laughed like an idiot. Nandor and Nadja look for Laszlo and she immediately blames witches. Nandor thinks she blames everything on witches. Well, it turns out it is witches. Nandor gets snatched away next. Guillermo, Colin, and Nadja hop into a car chasing down the witches and find them at a shop.

The Review: What We Do In The Shadows Season 2 Episodes 7-8



Episode 7

This episode called “The Return” continues the two season long streak of this series being amazing. Nadja and Laszlo are coming home from seeing a movie they hated because there was sound and hear someone inviting them down into the sewer. They head down into the shit tunnels and find Simon the Devious. He is the one that took Laszlo's cursed hat and blew up in the club. Nadja feels bad for him since all his friends are gone and she invites him to their house. He is there before they even get home! He says he took the shit tunnels. At the house Nandor is giving a tour and Elvis is living there running a radio station! Laszlo turned him into a vampire and there's that. Laszlo suspects that Simon just wants the cursed hat back. Simon also has some of his friends come and one is a rapping vampire and there other is a monster looking one named Carol. Carol wants to eat Guillermo. Laszlo suspicious of Simon confronts him with something he has covered up and rips the cloth off. It turns out to be a statue of a bat he made for them for being so nice.

The Review: What We Do In The Shadows Season 2 Episodes 4-6



Episode 4

How is this show so damned funny? I ended up watching three more episodes with CK and we laughed harder than previous ones. This one called “The Curse” revolves around Nandor asking Guillermo to hand him his laptop so that he can check his email. He keeps old letters from the hundreds of years he has been alive and sees that he has two new messages. One is from Circuit City, since he hasn't checked since 2009, and another is a chain letter. He has to send the message to ten friends or be cursed. Of course Nadja and Laszlo read it and think they too are now cursed and get pissed at Nandor. They ask Colin for help and he starts boring them until they almost faint.

The Review: What We Do In The Shadows Season 2 Episodes 1-3



Episode 1

The second season of What We Do In The Shadows wasted no time getting started and making me laugh. Nadja and Lazslo need a new familiar since the ones they have keep dying. They show clips of the various ways they died and the one that cracked me up was one of them bursting into flames because of all the candles and Nadja just calmly putting the fire out...on the curtains. They get a new one that they love named Topher played by Haley Joel Osment. He doesn't do shit. When the vampires enter the room Guillermo is the one doing the actual cleaning and Topher just snatches the feather duster from his hand. They hug him and care for him far more than Nandor cares for Guillermo. Also, Guillermo is leaning into killing vampires after discovering his heritage. They are showing up at the house to kill the group after Guillermo killed Baron.

The Review: What We Do In The Shadows Episodes 5-10



What We Do In The Shadows 10/10

I fucking loved this series. I laughed so hard during this I made my stomach hurt. I ended up watching episodes 5-10 in one day so I'm not gonna try and recap it one by one like previous ones. Just gonna talk about how funny this show was and what I liked about it. Like I said before, I didn't want to watch this series because I thought that it was just gonna be a knockoff version of the movie which I really enjoyed. These last episodes managed to be random and hilarious but also forwarding the story. They brought back that dude Jeff aka Gregor that Nadja wants since they hook up in all his past lives. She thinks his current life is boring after going to the fair so she brings back the memories of all his past lives and now he is fucking insane. Straight up lost it laughing when Jeff had Nadja try popcorn and she projectile vomited. Of course because vampires can't be eating normal people food.

The Review: What We Do In The Shadows Episodes 2-4



Episode 2

This show is funny as hell. In this episode the vampires are pissed that they are even supposed to take over Staten Island meaning they should have taken over North America by now. Colin, the energy vampire, says he knows how they can attain power and takes them to a city council meeting and starts sucking energy from the whole room by being dull. The faces he makes after taking energy wreck me. Laszlo dazzles one member and she mentions how she saw three raccoon in her trash. He decides to use a damn flute and leaves a mountain of dead raccoon on her porch. Nandor dazzles another member who praises the vampires and says that they need to give them power before they are destroyed. He gets yanked away while screaming.

The Review: What We Do In The Shadows Episode 1



Episode 1 “Pilot”

I got to check out the FX series What We Do In The Shadows with CK and I'll be damned if this show isn't funny as hell. It was just the pilot episode but still if it stays this funny I'll watch the whole thing. I had seen posters for it last year but had no desire to see it because I thought that it was just a remake of the movie with a different cast. I was wrong. Totally different vampires. It has a set up of everything being filmed and it made me laugh during one scene when they acknowledged the camera because I kinda forgot about it.

The Review: What We Do In The Shadows


I checked out this movie called What We Do In The Shadows. There will be spoilers. Its a comedy about four vampires that are roommates being filmed for a documentary. There is Deacon, Viago, Vladislav, and 8,000 year old Petyr who is in the movie just enough to keep him creepy as hell and funny. They are recorded talking about their daily lives and how it is being in the modern world which they are bad at. Deacon has a helper named Jackie who has been waiting years to be turned into a vampire. She does their laundry and helps bring victims, preferably virgins. As he puts it “I think of it like this. If you are going to eat a sandwich, you would just enjoy it more if you knew no one had fucked it.”
