What We Do in the Shadows (2019)

What We Do in the Shadows (2019) — Overview What We Do in the Shadows is a sharp, deadpan comedy-horror that follows three centuries-old vampires who share a ramshackle house on Staten Island. Presented in a mockumentary style, the show mines the clash between ancient supernatural tradition and the petty frustrations of modern life: bureaucracy, dating apps, landlord issues, and noisy neighbors — all after sundown. Viewers can expect a mix of lowbrow and clever humor, awkward interview-style confessionals, and surreal set-pieces that undercut classic horror tropes. The vampires’ eternal problems — status, power, feeding, and rival supernatural cliques — are treated as household squabbles and absurd rites of passage, producing both sharp satire and gross-out, spooky gags. The series balances character-driven comedy with occasional spooky effects and inventive creature encounters, so it delivers laughs and mild frights in equal measure. Watching the show is like spending a night with eccentric, immortal roommates: you’ll get amused by their vanities and rivalries, sympathize with their surprisingly modern insecurities, and repeatedly laugh at how seriously they take the most ridiculous rules. Episodes are brisk and episodic but build recurring relationships and running jokes, making it easy to jump in while rewarding longtime viewers. If you enjoy dry mockumentary humor, offbeat supernatural satire, and a blend of cringe, whimsy, and horror, What We Do in the Shadows offers a consistently funny, strange, and entertaining night out.
