    This show is a hilarious view of vampires.... a day in the life of! Just when you think the mockumentary form was all used up, this tongue in cheek style offers giggles, bursts of come-from-nowhere laughter, and top-worthy cringe moments. Love it!

    Fantastic! This is the shows best season so far. Refining the black humour they were grasping in season one. This has the makings of a classic with award worthy ensemble performances and a jaw dropping finale. It's definitely worth investing your time into.

    The three hapless vampires and their familiar continue to encounter trouble in the form of lovers from past lives, werewolves and members of their own kind.

    Probably the best season of the show, it has so many great moments. Season 2 had a great cliffhanger that was addressed fairly well in season 3, the guest stars of this season really make it stand above 1 and 3, IMO

    This season is just as funny as the first season and continues to explore the supernatural in a hilarious way especially with Guillermo's unwillingness to admit to his heritage.

    I wasn't sure that this show would meet my high expectations from the movie it's based on and I was slightly correct, but I still enjoyed most of the episodes.

    What we do in the shadows isn't the most creative comedy I've ever watchedbut it has a decent amount of laughs and, given both the low episode count and length it's a pretty quick watch. I don't think it will go down as a classic comedy but as long as it maintains the level it is now I'll continue watching it. It's a solid comedy if you're looking for a chill show to watch.

    It's silly and dopey but it works. Sometimes simple and dumb isn't so simple or dumb. Very watchable. I wouldn't binge watch it, but I always look forward to new episodes. Much better than the original movie.

    Hilarious and absurd. This is easily one of the best shows on TV at the moment.

    Another superb season of this outstanding comedy that continues to rise above most with it's sharp black humour and endearing yet bizzare leads. Some excellent cameos add some real joy as well.

    “What We Do in the Shadows” unfolds with tongue planted firmly in cheek. Parody presides over plot, and humor over horror, though occasionally the show takes a pitstop to indulge in undead melancholy and black magic sadism.

    It isn’t laugh-out-loud comedy, but it’s satisfyingly silly.

    Even if the world weren't ground to a standstill with millions of people locked in their houses, "Shadows" is far and away one of the funnier comedies on television because of its dead-center skewering of the mystique surrounding vampires. No second of each episode's agile twenty-something minutes is wasted.
