What We Do in the Shadows

If you've seen the movie, this will tickle the same sensibilities and humor so I'd guess your enjoyment will be similar as well. If you haven't seen the movie, it is not required for the show. Definitely the most I've laughed at a TV show in a long time.

I prefer the movie so far, but this manages to stand on its own pretty well.

Almost as funny as the film on which it is based. Me to the series: "But I appreciate you. I really do." Series to me: "You have a funny way of showing it." Me: "Thank you."

Quite funny and mostly entertaining. Makes me want to visit Staten Island.

[through season 5]

S1 and S2 were great. The writing for S3 was quite poor.

Season 1 & 2 & 3

yippee!

Fulfills the promise of the mockumentary and expands it in wonderful ways.

Season 1: 65

The show is very much in the vein of the movie, coming into its stride in the 3rd episode. I like the cast, who are mainly playing to their strengths; Berry acting as he is put off by everything, Novak doing silly voices. The format actually works surprisingly well as a sitcom.

Look, it's not perfect, but I love these stupid vampires. ... Bat!

S01

S1: 78, S2: 78, S3: 80, S4: 80, S5: 78

It actually made me check Staten Island on Google Maps.

tacky stuff. complete rubbish! not even close to the movie.

Really came into its own around 2/3 through the first season. The vampire council episode is the best use of cameos I've seen in a very long time. Has gotten stronger and stronger the longer it has gone on.

It's the jokes from the movie over a longer amount of time.

Quite funny.

It is rather perfect.

What We Do in the Shadows (the TV show) is a decent addition to the film as it is packed with humorous moments but it isn't nearly as clever or necessary as the movie. It's still plenty of fun though and I didn't feel as though it wasted my time as it does have plenty of new jokes.

I liked the (second part of) the movie better than most of the series, but this one delivers as well.

S1-82

[After two seasons] The show is well made with a lot of fun visual gags. It feels cinematically unique whenever it tackles the superunatural happening in ordinary surroundings. That said, the show's main comical engine is stupid, selfish people behaving stupidly selfish and that is just not my favorite kind of comedy; I like my characters a little more cordial. Whenever they do try different forms of comedy though, it is usually a blast. Jackie Daytona, a regular human bartender, comes to mind.

pilot was meh
