Watch What We Do In The Shadows Season 1

Okay, people, listen up! If you're looking for a show that's funnier than a kitten riding a Roomba, then you NEED to watch Watch What We Do in the Shadows, Season 1. Seriously, drop everything. Tell your boss you have a sudden, unexplainable urge to count sprinkles. This is more important.

Vampires, But Make It Hilarious

The show follows the daily (or nightly) lives of four vampire roommates living in Staten Island. Yes, Staten Island. Because even immortal bloodsuckers have to deal with garbage day and noisy neighbors. They're less Dracula and more... inept roommates who happen to crave blood.

We've got Nandor the Relentless, a once-ferocious warrior who's now mostly just ferocious about getting his crepe paper streamers hung up correctly for a party. Then there's Laszlo, the flamboyant one who loves a good topiary and isn't afraid to express his ahem passions.

Nadja and Colin Robinson – The Odd Couple

And let's not forget Nadja, the sassy, centuries-old Romani vampire who's seen it all and isn't impressed by any of it. Except maybe a good curse or two. Finally, there's Colin Robinson, the energy vampire, who sucks the life out of people with his incredibly boring stories about spreadsheets and municipal zoning. Honestly, he's the most terrifying of them all.

Think of it like The Office, but instead of paper sales, they're selling... well, nothing, really. Mostly they're just failing miserably at conquering Staten Island and arguing about whose turn it is to clean the dungeon. It's glorious.

Mockumentary Magic

The show is a mockumentary, which means it's filmed like a documentary. The vampires are constantly being interviewed, and their reactions to the camera are priceless. It adds another layer of comedy to the already absurd situations.

Imagine trying to explain to a camera crew why you accidentally turned your familiar into a swarm of bats that got stuck in a window screen. Pure comedic gold, I tell you!

Why You'll Love It

Season 1 is a masterclass in deadpan humor. The jokes are subtle, the characters are ridiculously lovable, and the situations are so outlandish they're believable. In a weird, vampire-y kind of way.

The supporting characters are also fantastic. From Guillermo, Nandor's long-suffering familiar who secretly dreams of becoming a vampire hunter, to the various supernatural creatures they encounter (werewolves who love game night, anyone?), every character is perfectly cast and hilarious.

Plus, it's just plain fun! It's a show that doesn't take itself seriously, and it's a refreshing break from all the heavy, dramatic shows out there. It's like a warm, bloody hug for your funny bone.

Get Ready to Binge

So, what are you waiting for? Grab some (ethically sourced, of course) blood orange juice, dim the lights, and settle in for a night of vampire shenanigans. You won't regret it.

Trust me, after watching Watch What We Do in the Shadows Season 1, you'll be quoting it for weeks. You might even start wearing a cape. I’m not saying that’s happened to me… but I’m also not not saying it.

You'll be the coolest ghoul at the party, guaranteed. Now go forth and enjoy the vampire-induced laughter!
