The Wellness Center What We Do In The Shadows

Ever wonder what vampires do when they're not, you know, vampiring?

Well, there's this show called "What We Do in the Shadows". It's a hilarious mockumentary. It follows the daily lives of four vampire roommates. And trust us, their lives are anything but ordinary!

A House Full of Hilarious Horror

The show centers around Nandor, Nadja, Laszlo, and Colin Robinson. They live together in a creaky old house in Staten Island. It’s not exactly the Transylvanian castle you might imagine.

They try (and usually fail) to navigate the modern world. Things like paying rent and understanding the internet prove tricky. Especially when you've been undead for centuries.

Nandor the Relentless (…Kinda)

Nandor is an ancient warrior. He dreams of conquering the Tri-State area. But mostly, he just annoys everyone with his outdated customs and intense devotion to his familiar, Guillermo.

He's trying to be intimidating. But often comes off as adorably clueless. He's the perfect blend of scary and silly.

Nadja and Laszlo: A Love Story for the Ages (Literally)

Nadja and Laszlo are a married vampire couple. They've been together for hundreds of years. Their relationship is… passionate, to say the least.

They bicker constantly. They also deeply, strangely love each other. Their eccentric antics are always good for a laugh.

Colin Robinson: The Energy Vampire

Then there’s Colin Robinson. He's an energy vampire. He doesn't suck blood. Instead, he drains people’s energy by boring them to death.

His weapon of choice? Monotonous lectures and pointless anecdotes. He’s strangely powerful and deeply relatable for anyone who's ever been stuck in a boring meeting.

Why It's So Good

"What We Do in the Shadows" is funny because it's relatable. Even though the characters are supernatural beings.

We see them struggling with everyday problems. Like finding love, dealing with roommates, and trying to make something of themselves. Sound familiar?

The show's mockumentary style adds to the humor. The vampires are constantly talking to the camera. Sharing their (often misguided) thoughts and feelings.

The improv-heavy dialogue feels natural and spontaneous. It gives the show a unique and refreshing energy.

More Than Just Laughs

It’s not just about the jokes, though. The show also has a surprisingly heartwarming side.

Beneath all the absurdity, there are genuine moments of friendship and loyalty. The vampires may annoy each other. But they’re also a weird, dysfunctional family.

Guillermo: The Unsung Hero

We can’t forget Guillermo! Nandor’s long-suffering familiar. He dreams of becoming a vampire himself.

He handles all the household chores. He also protects the vampires from sunlight and vampire hunters. All with a weary but loving dedication.

He's the true hero of the show. And his story is one you'll be rooting for.

Give It a Try!

"What We Do in the Shadows" is a must-watch for anyone who loves comedy. Especially with a touch of the macabre.

It's smart, silly, and surprisingly sweet. Give it a try. You might just find yourself craving more (human alcohol beer!).

You can find it streaming on Hulu and other platforms. Prepare to laugh your fangs off!
