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.
One
night Topher gets his dumb ass electrocuted to death. The vampires
mourn him until Nadja says she knows someone who can bring people
back to life. They head to this guy named Wallace with Topher's body
and cash and a mini fridge. It doesn't seem to work until suddenly
Topher starts moving. They bring him home and he is a damned zombie.
He starts attacking Guillermo and demanding a high-five. His arm gets
knocked off, he gets stabbed through the chest and he still wont
stop. Nandor ends up killing him after multiple tries. Guillermo
thinks he was saving his life but it was mostly because Topher was
annoying him. The vampires take him back to Wallace who it turns out
has a room full of zombies making key chains.

The
vampires house is being haunted and Nandor thinks they are being
ridiculous since ghosts don't exist. Guillermo explains that they are
vampires and he has now seen werewolves, babadooks, and a zombie so
ghosts aren't too far fetched. Nandor tells him to shut up. Nadja has
a séance with everyone and the ghost of Jeff aka Gregor comes back.
He says he has unfinished business and can not move on. There was a
scene I had to watch again when Laszlo pretends he cant see Jeff and
races inside to tell Nandor there's “a fucking ghost” on the
porch. Nandor tries to tackle him and ends up going through him and
covered in ghost goo. They all start to wonder if they have ghosts
since they themselves are dead. Turns out they do!
Nandor's
ghosts speaks his native language which present day Nandor has
forgotten and can only remember how to say good morning. He discovers
that his ghost is looking for the ghost of the horse he ended up
eating in the past. Laszlo's ghost was turned into a vampire by Nadja
just when he was about to have an orgasm and needs to have one before
he moves on. He does and it is gross. Nadja's ghost is upset she has
had hundreds of years and has done nothing with it. They get along
great and instead of moving on she has her ghost put into a creepy
doll that is a horndog. Colin, the energy vampire, doesn't quite know
what he is, is trying to “updog” joke throughout the episode
testing out the energy draining power of jokes. He brings the ghost
of his grandmother back just to get her to respond to the joke before
sending her away.

Guillermo
has to go find some virgins for the vampires who go to a “Superb
Owl” party. Colin knows its the Super Bowl but just doesn't want to
correct them. They head to the neighbors place and get upset when he
jokingly calls them vampires. They think the jig is up and Nandor and
Laszlo plan to first kill him and then double erase his memory. They
do it and it works too well and he becomes a drooling idiot. For fun
before they do the humane thing and rip his head off they start
showing him vampire tricks. Nadja climbs the walls freaking him out.
Laszlo turns into a bat. Its ridiculous. Nadja discovers that the old
lady living there is the same she knew when the old lady was a little
girl and Nadja would pin her to the ceiling. She thinks the old lady
stole her mothers necklace and wants it back and starts destroying
the house.
Meanwhile
Guillermo finds a group of mosquito enthusiasts that turn out to be
vampire hunters. One is the roommate of the girl Nadja had turned.
Guillermo tries to leave after they bust out a crossbow and hits all
three mannequins in the head perfectly reinforcing his amazing
vampire hunting skills. Back at the house the old lady asks Nadja how
she stayed young and can she live forever. Nadja says that she would
just be an old vampire and the lady is like “No thank you.” The
vampires end up not killing the neighbor who spots his wife and says
how hot she looks. They tell him that he is married to her and he
flatters her and gives her the jade necklace Nadja was looking for as
a gift. Nadja is about to attack until they hold her back. Each one
of these episodes was funny as hell and I can not wait to see how the
rest of this season goes.
