Plots(1)

What We Do in the Shadows is a documentary-style look into the daily (or rather, nightly) lives of three vampires who've "lived" together for hundreds of years. In Staten Island. The self-appointed leader of the group is "Nandor The Relentless", a great warrior and conqueror from the Ottoman Empire. Then there's the British vampire "Laszlo" – a bit of a rogue and a dandy and a fop, he might say. And then there's "Nadja": the seductress, the temptress, the vampiric Bonnie to Laszlo's Clyde. After an unexpected visit from their dark lord and leader, "Baron Afanas," the vampires are reminded of what they were initially tasked with upon their arrival in Staten Island over a hundred years ago – total and complete domination of the New World. But what exactly is the best way to go about achieving said domination? (HBO Europe)

Season 4 (2022) (S04) 

English The fourth season of What We Do in the Shadows is also brilliantly entertaining and the individual episodes have priceless themes that are bursting with originality, but to be honest there is a slight drop compared to the previous three seasons. The humour still retains its quality and its "for a very, very fringe audience" nature, and the characters are the same fools as in the previous seasons, but there's a little less of it all and it doesn't feel as explosive. The best thing is clearly Colin Robinson as a child, but unfortunately he didn't get as much space as I would have liked, his potential to entertain was far, far greater. It’s a shame the creators didn't get more out of it. Anyway, it's still superior entertainment that, thanks to the short episodes, flows along nicely and doesn't get boring, and for fans of the series, this is another must-see ten-episode ride. ()

Season 5 (2023) (S05) 

English The fifth season did not disappoint, just like all the previous ones. The humour keeps its high standard, the characters are still amazing and in the whole filmmaking field is even some of the best, the most iconic and closest to my heart, and the biggest asset is the fact that even after so many episodes the ideas and jokes are not repeated, but on the contrary, the series overflows with originality. I had a great time and this is simply a gem. ()
