Sunrise, Sunset

A mansion in shambles, a vampire nightclub dream-project, a secret supernatural Night Market, Nandor finally tying the knot, and Baby Colin. These were some of the highlights that made watching "What We Do in the Shadows" season 4 a treat.

Directing this laugh-fest were Yana Gorskaya, Kyle Newacheck, Tig Fong, and DJ Stipsen. Each of them did great work in S04. Writers Stefani Robinson, Paul Simms, Wally Baram, Aasia LaShay Bullock, Sam Johnson, Chris Marcil, William Meny, Ayo Edebiri, Shana Gohd, Sam Johnson, Sarah Naftalis, Marika Sawyer, Jake Bender, and Zach Dunn typed up amazing screenplays.

Memorable work all round by the production design, musical scoring, and cinematography teams. Sound editing, set decoration, and costume design were exemplary. Hair-makeup and VFX were great.

Kayvan Novak's Nandor continued to impress. His natural performance was laudable. Matt Berry's Laszlo Cravensworth was a lesson in comedic genius. Natasia Demetriou's Nadja was unforgettable. She grabbed the spotlight in nearly every scene she featured.

Harvey Guillén's Guillermo de la Cruz was great. Plenty of story arcs hinged on his performance this season, and he delivered. Mark Proksch's Colin Robinson, particularly as Baby Colin, gave a new and nuanced performance this season.

Kristen Schaal as the Guide was great. Baron Afanas, played by Doug Jones, was captivating in the few scenes he featured. All other cast and crew were good in "What We Do in the Shadows" S04 now streaming on Hulu.

This season was all about reclaiming what was lost. The dysfunctional vampires at the heart (pun intended) of this misadventure experienced new moments and had to build back what was broken, starting with their mansion followed by their dignity.

Love was also in the air, not to forget a hilarious healing of old wounds. Nandor's wedding and Nadja's vampire nightclub goals were both equally entertaining sequences. Not a single scene featuring Laszlo was dull.

This show - rather, mockumentary - was intended to be clichéd and corny. They blended horror and fantasy in captivating comedic ways, particularly with their documentary-style captures. How they managed to balance it all in such a way as to give fans four great seasons that evoked belly-laughter is beyond me.

"What We Do in the Shadows" S04, and the ones that preceded it, are Canada's love-letter to comedy. This season particularly contained more than a few vulgar moments amidst a sea of hilarious ones. I enjoyed sitting through all ten episodes in S04. Keep the seasons coming, this show never gets old - barefaced vampire pun intended.

I know I should've anticipated that ending a mile away, and yet it took me by surprise. Let's just say, season 5 "What We Do in the Shadows" is going to be fascinating.

I genuinely was surprised when I watched this whole season... Cause I expected it to be the same goofy kinda show which it wasn't! And frankly that is the same thing that I LOVED about these 10 episodes. They got that goofy material and made it important, realistic and overwhelming. Yeah it got bitter at some point, but what kind of story is Not bitter after all?!

And also I noticed that all the characters faced some issues in this season that made them grow and earn some experience. At the end I reviewed the whole story and I found out the true greatness of every single character's unique path.

I've always loved the show... But now I love it even more :)

When Laszlo was looking at the racing bed and Colin Robinson was not remembering any of his childhood memories over the past year that they shared - it was such a sad and profound moment that any parent could relate to... BUT it could've been so much more! The audience was already so emotionally there. It could've gone through a history montage of all the sweet moments they shared. It could have been such an epic emotional climax moment of the entire season. But instead it simply moved on from the sad Laszlo on the bed straight to the next scene. It could've been something so much more. Still good though.

After last week's complete flounder, I was relieved to see this show feeling a little more like itself and make a strong return for the season finale. Even if last episode was an unexpected disappointment, this was still an overall excellent season.

This final episode was very funny and tastefully bitter-sweet, the comedy was well-placed and well-paced and the flow of the events on screen felt right. It reminded me of how much I like these characters and why.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger but it's a good kind of cliffhanger that will leave you excited for next season without leaving you in pain.

I keep 1 star for myself because Nadja's subplot this episode was rather repetitive and I feel like the end of her arc could've been handled in a more interesting manner.

It may not be what you expect to hear about a silly vampire documentary comedy show, but when did you ever think the combination of those words would ever exist. With this season's storylines coming to a close the way they did, it DOES make me wonder what they will do next season. Pretty much everything is back where it was at the beginning. The last minute of the show is about the only potential twist, and even that has been an ongoing plot point since the beginning. Maybe they will focus on how Nandor will handle it?

This season, with all its missteps, still wound up being pretty solid in the end. The song at the end was touching to say the least. Lazslo's 💔 made me cry. But it's just a silly vampire documentary comedy. How can it make you care like that? Well, for me at least, it did. See you next season.
