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.

The show hasn’t been the same since the writer’s room shake up a few seasons ago. But the one star is mostly because depending on the device I access this on, it’ll be missing episodes. Why are some movies/tv still accessible on YouTube versus others. It makes ZERO sense.

Nowhere near the wit, charm and humour of the film, especially since changed location to nyc, with goal of mass infection in usa instead of more diverse, interesting Europe. Needs more lycanthropes. If they address current preventable measles plague and candida auris outbreak in nyc in plight for upping their undead #s it might get more interesting.

¡El espectáculo en sí es fantástico! ¡5 estrellas! Donde surge la decepción es el hecho de que FX y Google parecen lograr agregar comerciales a cada episodio, pero parece que no pueden hacer que el final de temporada esté disponible de manera oportuna. #Shame Es como si FX no pensara que cortar el cable y comprar una temporada completa era suficiente; quieren que los abandones por completo
