What We Do In The Shadows Review

The mix of the show's eccentricity, inventive writing, and perfect comedic timing is funny. The ensemble cast offers perfect performances portraying each unique vampire identity, and the audience continuously laughs at the deadpan humor and witty conversation. The exceptional connection among the cast members creates a pleasant and engaging group dynamic. Beyond just being funny, "What We Do in the Shadows" excels at subtly mocking vampire preconceptions and introducing fresh comedy turns. Fans of humor and vampire culture will both appreciate the show's skilful juggling of supernatural elements with understandable human circumstances. The daily problems of four Staten Island-based vampires who have lived together for eons are explored in this mockumentary-style TV show. It consistently provides entertainment and enjoyment with a unique and original take on the vampire subject with each new episode. The show is a must-watch for anyone seeking a delectable fusion of supernatural satire and belly-laugh comedy thanks to its witty storyline, superb acting, and expert comedic execution.

TRIVIA

Trivia

All of the main vampire characters, save for Colin Robinson, wear custom-made vampire fangs that clip into attachments on their teeth. This was done to ensure that traditional prosthetic fangs would not hinder their speech patterns or pronunciation of words.

The theme song, "You're Dead," was originally released in 1966. The artist who released it is Norma Tanega as part of her album entitled "Walkin' My Cat Named Dog"; the album's title track hit #22 on the charts.

During an interview with Collider, Kayvan Novak described getting the part of Nandor. "I auditioned in London, and it was just a scene. On the breakdown, it said, "You don't have to wear fangs, but if you want to wear fangs, then wear fangs." So, I went out and bought some fangs, I did my hair like Nandor does his hair in the show, and I wore a white shirt with the top button done up."

Nandor passingly mentions someone named Count Fandango, which is a reference to a character in Matt Berry's earlier series, Toast of London.

Nadja marks the first time a female vampire has been a main character in the universe of "What We Do in the Shadows." In a panel at 2019 Comic-Con, series creators Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement admitted they had always planned to include female vampires in the original film, but were thwarted by a logistical challenge: Clement and Waititi had to ask a group of their friends to be part of the cast because they had no budget. Though they invited several of their female friends to participate, none of them showed up.
