Emotional Vampire What We Do In The Shadows

Ever feel like someone's just...draining your energy? Well, What We Do in the Shadows takes that feeling and runs wild with it. It's a hilarious show about vampire roommates, but not the sparkly kind.

Vampires Like You've Never Seen Them

Forget brooding and romance. These vampires are messy, awkward, and surprisingly relatable. Imagine Count Dracula, but he's arguing over whose turn it is to do the dishes. It's that level of absurd.

The show is a mockumentary. A documentary crew follows the daily lives of Nandor, Nadja, Laszlo, and Colin Robinson. They live in Staten Island, trying (and mostly failing) to navigate modern life.

Nandor the Relentless (Sometimes)

Nandor is the self-proclaimed leader. He's a fearsome warrior from the Ottoman Empire. Except now he mostly just yells at his human familiar, Guillermo.

Nandor's attempts at being intimidating are always undermined. He's just too eager to please. You can't help but root for the big lug.

Nadja and Laszlo: A Love Story (Kind Of)

Nadja and Laszlo are a married couple. They've been together for centuries, and their relationship is... complicated. Think passionate arguments followed by passionate, well, you know.

They are absolutely devoted to each other, in their own weird, kinky, vampiric way. Their dynamic is chaotic, hilarious, and weirdly heartwarming.

Colin Robinson: The Energy Vampire

Then there's Colin Robinson. He's an energy vampire. He doesn't drink blood, he feeds on boredom.

Colin drains the life out of people by being incredibly dull. He drones on about mundane topics and watches people's eyes glaze over. He's the office meeting we all dread, personified.

Why It's So Funny

The humor comes from the clash of the supernatural and the mundane. These powerful vampires are constantly tripped up by everyday problems. Think dealing with city council meetings or trying to figure out internet passwords.

The characters are also just incredibly well-written and acted. Each actor perfectly embodies their role. The improvisation adds to the show's chaotic energy.

The mockumentary style is perfect for this kind of humor. The vampires often break the fourth wall. They give confessional interviews that are full of snark and self-deception.

More Than Just Laughs

What We Do in the Shadows is more than just a comedy. It's a show about found family. It shows characters who, despite their differences, care about each other.

The vampires have been together for centuries. They've become a dysfunctional, yet loving, family unit. Guillermo, Nandor's familiar, becomes an integral part of that family.

Plus, the show has some surprisingly touching moments. You might even find yourself feeling a little bit sorry for these bloodsucking weirdos.
