The Finale

I'm glad the team behind WWDITS knew when to let go. The sixth series was still wonderful, but like a pair of comfortable, much loved slippers, the wear was beginning to show.

In the finale, we were treated to a gentle goodbye. The group all together, wrapping things up for us, as the documentary team did the same. Personally, I'd like to thank the actors, writers and crew for such a wonderful ride. I've laughed so hard sometimes, I've woken the cat. And special credit to the costumers and set designers for giving our vampires such a sumptuous world to live in. Parting is such sweet sorrow. But I can't wait to see what all the cast do next.

I was so hoping for much more than this.

Maybe it's my fault because I wanted one of my all time favorite television shows to go out with a nuclear blast.

It was a pop rock at best. 😢 I'll be honest. A few times I wondered if they didn't just let AI write this one. Seriously. I considered that.

I will always love this show and this in no way takes away from that. Nothing ever will.

Just sad mainly for what could have been.

But I'm sure that's much easier said than done.

I have the maddest respect for Jemaine and Taika and they will go down as two of the greatest.

These guys did an incredible job.

After a shaky first few episodes "What we Do In The Shadows" has been one of the best sitcoms of recent times. This sixth season, whilst still good, perhaps shows that it's time for the series to end before it's forced into repeating itself.

Guillermo (Harvey Guillen) leaves Nandor's (Kayvan Novak) service and goes to work at Cannon Capital Strategies, a finance company led by Jordan (Tim Heidecker) who has similar traits to Nandor. Both Nandor and Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) join the company at similar times, though keep their connections to Guillermo and each other secret. Laszlo (Matt Berry) taking no inspiration from any gothic novels, resurrects a man made of various dead humans sewn together. He quickly tires of his monster though with Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) picking up the slack.

Again, generally I thought this season was good. I enjoyed the cameos particularly from Steve Coogan as Laszlo's long dead father Roderick and from Kevin Pollack as the star of a long running cop show that ends up filming in the area.

I wasn't wild about either the office or the Frankenstein storylines though. Nurturing Laszlo does appear to be a recurrence of a previous plot and office politics has been done in a number of shows. They were fine, but it's well covered ground. It still made me laugh regularly, all of that cast can just make me chuckle on line delivery alone so it's still somewhat said to see the show end, even if I can see that it's probably the right time.

When I started the series, I couldn't have hoped that it was going to end up being as good as it was and I'm sad to see it end, but excited for whatever the cast decide to do next.

It makes sense that a documentary just ends, and it is funny, but I don't know... I think that in the last seasons they relied to heavily on the "it's always the same day" kinda thing (Sunrise, Sunset) which I love but then they stopped doing action and I kinda miss when some epic moments would happen (also, Guillermo changing his mind about being a vampire was also really anti-climatic, him finally turning into a vampire should have been the series finale, or the final season focusing on it), still, the laughter in every episode never stopped happening and another cute moments, I'm really gonna miss this. I hope they make a sequel series or more movies but if this is it, thanks for one of the best shows I've ever seen and loved, I'm sure we'll meet again 💜

I'm gonna go see how I fill this void now, good night everyone :)

Laszlo's monster, or more specifically his libido, is causing problems in the vampire house leading to some extreme solutions being planned. Nandor wants to build a lair under the house and become a crime fighter. These issues all become meaningless when the household receives some big news.

The show ends. I want to say sadly but it is ending at the right time.

For five seasons it was brilliant. Most importantly, for five seasons the the quality and freshness of the show did not waiver showing that the writers hadn't run out of ideas.

However, Season 6 did feel a bit stale and didn't quite have the zip of the previous seasons. It's still great but just not in the same league as what came before. A good thing then that it ended as otherwise it would definitely have overstayed its welcome. Kudos to the producers for pulling the plug when they realised that the show had run its course.

This, the finale, is consistent with the standard of S6 with an episode that is hardly a bang but is not a whimper either. There's still some good comedy, some interesting character-based sub-plots and, befitting a finale, a tying up of loose ends and closure to the series.

Farewell.
