What We Do in the Shadows- Season 1 reviews from people you don't follow
Hilariously wacky
When I first heard they were making a tv show out of the film, I was worried. The film is comedy genius, and I was concerned this wouldn’t meet my high expectations. However my worries were completely unfounded, as this show is a revelation.
Firstly, it has been created and produced by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi so you know it’s in good hands. And right from the start you can see how similar this show is to the film - same title music, same documentary style, and the same style of humour and ridiculously silly main characters. Despite the massive similarities though this is very much it’s own show and very good and hilarious in it’s own right. The cast are fantastic, I’ve loved Kayvan Novak since Four Lion and he’s a brilliant choice alongside Matt Berry. I can’t express how funny and clever this show is, and my favourite episode was by far the one with the Vampiric Council. I was downright hysterical watching this and some of the cameos in this are sheer brilliance (including some very familiar faces). And at 25 minutes an episode, nothing ever drags and in fact I actually wanted more.
I really hope they make more series of this, it’d be a crime not to!

A brilliant debut season. It’s consistently funny, it gives every character their moments in the spotlight, and above all, has a completely on board cast to take the show into the ridiculous places it needs to. Not every episode is as funny as the show can be, but the hits far, far outweigh the misses. For Taika Waititi, the hits keep on coming.

@What We Do In The Shadows (2014) is probably my favorite Taika Waititi film out of all of his films. Though, I wasn't sure how I felt about a series taking place in the US was going to pan out.
I'm glad I finally watched it. Each episode was fairly self-contained. The characters were likeable, and it kept the same feel from the original. My favorite ep had to be the one where they had actors from other vampire films on the vampire council. I loved that Tilda got some recognition as the vamp from Only Lovers Left Alive (underrated film). It was good to see the original vamps from the film too.
I can't wait for season 2!
