A look at the lives of four vampires who've lived together for hundreds of years on Staten Island. The self-appointed leader of the group is Nandor the Relentless, a warrior and conqueror from the Ottoman Empire. Then there's the British vampire Laszlo -- a bit of a rogue and a dandy and a fop, he might say. He's a lover of mischief and a soirée, but not as much as he loves seeing Nandor fail in every attempt. And then there's Nadja: the seductress, the temptress, the vampiric Bonnie to Laszlo's Clyde. Also cohabiting in the vampire household is Guillermo, Nandor's familiar; Colin Robinson, an energy vampire and day-walker of sorts -- he feasts on humans, but not on their blood.

Critics Consensus

Carried on the wings of its cast's incredible chemistry and the strongest writing of the series so far, What We Do in the Shadows' third season is scary good.

Kelly Lawler

USA Today

Although it started off unevenly, the third season of FX's riotous vampire mockumentary offered some of its best episodes ever.

"What We Do in the Shadows" shouldn't be this funny.

Its genius is in how it exploits the tension between two opposing forces in crafting a TV comedy that is genuinely laugh-out-loud funny.

them.

What We Do in the Shadows has quietly been one of the funniest comedies on TV since its start, and as if its recent bevy of Emmy nominations were hinting at something profound, its third season might be its strongest yet.

Maybe there's a vampire connection here, but TV's most ridiculous, cleverest comedy gets better with age.

The Reader (Omaha, NE)

In addition to be effortlessly watchable, it's now compelling in terms of narrative. Also, Matthew Berry says naughty words a lot, and it's perfect.

Rated: A-

This show just gets better and better! I love the rhythm in Taika's style and the absolute mastery of the cast.

Absolutely fantastic tv show. It took the intriguing premise from the inferior movie and really developed the brilliant characters (of course, you can do this with 6 series more so than just the one movie). The whole cast are wonderful, with each character getting their time to shine in the spotlight. Witty and memorable stories with well thought out (and at times absolutely bonkers!) set pieces and character interactions. If you didn't go much on the original movie, it's worth giving this a go... you may be pleasantly surprised.

Just as funny as the film, maybe even more so. Such a great cast, great writing, and there's not a single bad episode.
