About this show

Based on the feature film of the same name from Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, "What We Do in the Shadows" is a documentary-style look into the daily (or rather, nightly) lives of four vampires who've "lived" together for hundreds of years in Staten Island. After an unexpected visit from their dark lord and leader, the vampires are reminded of what they were initially tasked with upon their arrival in New York over a century ago – total and complete domination of the New World. But what exactly is the best way to go about achieving said domination? The vérité camera crew follows along as the vampires set out to answer this query.

This has been one of the few shows to have ever make me laugh out loud. I like the quirks there is a sort of charm that comes through. I have even found myself looking up cast interviews etc. on the Internet just to spend more time with this group. (I'm sure there is an Interview with the Vampire joke in there somewhere.)

The TV format really benefits this concept and story. It means that each episode is tighter and sharper, but the whole season lets characters and ideas grow and develop into absurd brilliance. Colin Robinson, Nadja and Guillermo are particular boons to the ensemble. Also, lots of turning into a bat. BAT

I do not know why I purchased this but it is really bad. Anything for a cheap gag they do it, they make believe the Vampires are in a big brother type house, they his at each other like four year old playing vampire, make fun of twilight.... and the list goes on. This is not funny and I wish I never purchased it
