What We Do In The Shadows Trailer Season 1
Okay, let's be real, have you ever watched a trailer and just knew a show was going to be amazing? Like, goosebumps, can't-wait-to-binge-it amazing? That's exactly how I felt watching the Season 1 trailer for What We Do In The Shadows.
Vampires, But Make It Hilarious
The trailer opens and bam! You're smacked in the face with three very old, very clueless vampires trying to navigate the 21st century. Imagine your great-grandparents trying to use TikTok. It's kinda like that, but with more capes and bloodlust!
We've got Nandor the Relentless, the self-proclaimed leader who's anything but. He fancies himself a fearsome warrior, but mostly just ends up looking ridiculous. Bless his heart.
Must Read
Then there's Laszlo Cravensworth, the suave (or at least he thinks he is) vampire who's obsessed with… well, everything, especially his wife, Nadja. He's basically the vampire version of that uncle who thinks he's way cooler than he actually is.
And of course, we can't forget Nadja, the sassy and sarcastic vampire queen who's definitely the brains of the operation. She's seen it all, done it all, and isn't afraid to tell you exactly what she thinks about it.
Life with a Familiar
Adding to the chaos is Guillermo, Nandor's long-suffering familiar. He dreams of becoming a vampire himself, but mostly he's stuck doing all the chores, like cleaning up vampire messes. Which, let's be honest, are probably pretty gross.
The trailer just throws you right into the thick of their daily lives. We see them trying (and failing spectacularly) to hypnotize people, attending vampire council meetings (which look surprisingly boring), and just generally bumbling around in their Staten Island mansion.
And let's not forget Colin Robinson. He’s an energy vampire. He doesn't suck blood; he sucks the energy out of people by being incredibly boring. Trust me, we all know someone like that. It’s painfully funny because it’s relatable!
Why the Trailer Hooked Me
The humor is just so smart and dry. It's not slapstick; it's more about the absurdity of these ancient creatures trying to deal with modern problems. Like trying to figure out Netflix, or accidentally starting a vampire turf war over who gets to feed on the best virgins.
The mockumentary style is absolute genius. The characters constantly break the fourth wall, giving these little deadpan looks to the camera. It just adds to the hilarity.
Honestly, the trailer sold me on the chemistry between the actors. They all play off each other so well, and you can tell they're having a blast. It's infectious!
The special effects are also surprisingly good! When they fly or turn into bats, it looks pretty convincing. Considering it’s a comedy, they didn’t skimp on the details. Good job, FX!
And who doesn't love a good vampire story? But this isn't your typical brooding, romantic vampire fare. This is vampires who are just trying to make it through the day, one awkward encounter at a time.
The trailer promised a show that was silly, smart, and surprisingly heartwarming. It gives the impression of a group of misfits that are a family, even if they have to drink blood occasionally.
Final Thoughts
If you haven't seen the trailer for Season 1 of What We Do In The Shadows, go watch it right now! Seriously, stop reading this and go. You won't regret it. You’re in for a bloody good time!
I promise, it's a guaranteed laugh riot. Prepare for awkward situations, biting wit, and vampires who are just trying their best (which isn't saying much). And if you don’t like it, well, maybe Colin Robinson already sucked all your energy away.
