In the first three episodes (all that was provided to critics), What We Do in the Shadows enters its final season firing on all the same hilarious, outlandish, and precise-chemistry-having cylinders it always has. Collectively, this triad of episodes barely has a 70-minute runtime, yet they are filled with genuine laugh-out-loud moments while setting up a story that promises interesting pathways for all involved as we approach the end of our journey with these vampires. It’s the third episode, however, that contains the biggest indicator for what this season might look like. It’s a terrific start to a bittersweet ride that I can’t wait to take.

The first three episodes of the final season of What We Do In The Shadows kick off on a fang-tastic note, delivering the same hilarious character dynamics and outlandishly funny hijinks for which the show has become renowned. It playfully leans into sit-com tropes to deconstruct the narrative style in a way that feels fresh yet familiar, and raises questions that will be exciting to explore. The loveable cast sustains the show’s infinite charm and potential with their chemistry and laugh-out-loud one-liners, and I cannot wait to see where the story takes each of them.
