What We Do In The Shadows

What We Do In The Shadows, the series, has reached the halfway point in its BBC 2 premiere, so I can now say...

BAT!

You’re Dead

They’re a bit more sitcom and less mockumentary style characters, but this helps the ongoing setup.

Kayvan Novak as Nandor the Relentless kind of has the straight-man role, being a bit of a Viago-ish stickler for rules, and mostly interacts with his put-upon familiar Guillermo, played by Harvey Guillén, in the main vampire-human awkward long-term relationship.

Matt Berry as Laszlo is the most familiar of the core cast, and is here to pretty much be Matt Berry with fangs.

Natasia Demetriou as Nadja has some vital being-unimpressed to do in most episodes.

Mark Proksch as Colin Robinson, Energy Vampire, is great fun. And terrifying.

I like how it owns to the Vampire LARP comparisons pretty much right away.
