    Decent Start to the New Season

    Overall pretty funny, but nothing amazing. Benedict Wong does a great job and Haley Joel Osmond has a pretty good guest appearance. Colin is still the best main character and continues to steal almost every scene he's in.

    Season 2..

    After watching ep4 I'm feeling appreciative of the first two because they were bang on. It had a steady pace and good writing.Episode three was okay but the fourth one was below average. I hope to god the following episodes pick up the pace and bring the season1 magic back!

    The Battling Familiars

    After the deaths of seven familiars, a guy named Topher shows up. He manipulates the situation, taking advantage of Guillermo, pretending to be the one doing all the work. He is adored by everyone. They are always clueless, especially Nandor, who has no appreciation for what Guillermo does. Apparently, there have been vampire killers who routinely have stakes shoved through their hearts by our hero. When Topher gets electrocuted he is brought to a re-animator and brought back. However, he is out of his mind and probably a zombie. Nandor is angry because he thinks the two familiars are keeping him awake, playing their "juvenile" games. This episode is non-stop hilarity.

    Not realistic (canonically speaking) but fairly funny

    How can a human be stronger than a vampire? Makes very little sense

    Anyway, this episode was fairly funny. I laughed twice, which isn't bad. It's honestly above-average and better than most episodes in Season 1.

    Workaholics creator and director Kyle y'all needed him and you got him and it's amazing.

    • Trivia
      Both Matt Berry (Laszlo) and Benedict Wong (Wallace) appeared in The IT crowd together. Berry as a member of the regular cast (Douglas Reynholm) and Wong as a guest (Harold "Prime" Tong in the episode "The Final Countdown").
    • Goofs
      There is no way Guillermo can get blood on the right side of his face just as Topher is seen in the same moment, same shot being electrocuted on Guillermo's left side, across the pond. However, this isn't supposed to be Topher's blood. Topher had let in some vampire assassins, which Guillermo is implied to have killed before he came to tell off Topher about letting in just anybody (Implied with this blood).

      Laszlo: No, my dear. I'm not that familiar.
