Cube Critics discuss the final season of ‘What We Do in the Shadows’


Listen Later

“What We Do in the Shadows” is a vampire mockumentary series airing on FX, based on the 2014 film of the same name by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. The show hilariously explores the mundane and supernatural challenges faced by a group of vampire roommates living in Staten Island.


The ensemble cast delivers standout performances, including:


  • Nandor the Relentless (Kayvan Novak), a former warlord who is less relentless than his name suggests.
  • Laszlo (Matt Berry) and Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), a centuries-old vampire couple, with Berry producing some of the strangest pronunciations of the English language to be found on television.
  • Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch), an energy vampire who drains people’s energy through banal conversations, is perhaps the most inspired comic creation on the show.
  • Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), the loyal yet underappreciated familiar, undergoes the show’s most complicated character arc involving his Van Helsing ancestry and evolving role within the group.
  • The show also offers memorable guest appearances from actors including Kristen Schaal and Tim Heidecker.


Over its seasons, the show has evolved beyond its film origins, developing rich storylines and deepening its characters. The final season explores the characters’ complicated dependence on Guillermo and the centrality of his role in the group.


Whether you’re new to the show or catching up, it’s easy to dive in from the beginning. Highly recommended for fans of comedy and supernatural genres alike.
