I love this show. The writing and acting are perfect. It makes me laugh out loud. It is so clever.

I LOVED THE MOVIE, and the pilot just gave me the same feeling inside; creeped out, happy, sad, just please. I need at least 40 seasons with 45 min episodes. Thank you

For any who haven't seen the movie of the same title, it's highly recommended.
I was worried the show wouldn't be able to capture the comedic genius of the movie, but i have not been disappointed in the slightest. It's fantastic!

This show is hysterical. Reminds me of the British 'The Office' without the uncomfortableness. Some people said the jokes don't land but that's the point. It's supposed to be awkward. So glad I found this. Not many shows interest me.

What We Do In the Shadows is one of the best new comedies to come out in years, it's actually one of the funniest comedies I've ever seen! I absolutely loved the movie so I thought this was going to be a letdown but boy was I wrong...EVERY episode is great!

The original movie was hysterical from beginning to end and the same folks who wrote and starred in that one, wrote and directed this series. The entire situation is unique and different from anything else on TV, which helps to make it special. Don't miss it!

This show grows on you if you enjoy Halloween and vampires and office comedy and mockumentary style shots. Keep em coming!

What We Do in the Shadows follows a small group of vampires who live together on Staten Island and the adventures they wind up in.
The movie, which follows a different group in Wellington, New Zealand, is excellent and I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it before. If you love the movie, you will love the show! What makes the show better than the movie comes down to the episodic nature of television. The episodic format means plot-lines can begin and end more quickly than the movie, characters can be developed more and they can be thrown into a wider variety of crazy situations. The movie had great world-building but could only do so much with an 85 minute runtime, and the show furthers that simply from having more time.
The show would not work if Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, who wrote/directed/acted in the movie, were not onboard. They ensured that the tone, production design, shooting style, and humor were all on par with the film. Thank goodness season 2 is on the way!

A nice light comedy of dark humor. If you like Dracula: Dead and Loving It and Young Frankenstein, or just a fan of laughing I highly recommend this.

This show is so funny and refreshing. In the midst of all the new vampire, witches, magic shows that are on your tv now, this show is so well crafted. The writing, directing and special effects are so much fun to watch.

This is the best show on tv at the moment, from the wonderfully crafted writing to the perfectly timed acting from a fantastic cast! First show in a while to make me audibly laugh.
