One of the funniest shows ever!
What We Do in the Shadows is not only one of the funniest shows on tv right now but it has become one of my favorite comedies of all-time. It reminds me a little of Seinfeld in which every character on the show is as equally as funny as the others. It's hard to pick out the best and everyone has their own favorite. It's based on the film of the same name and is created by the same people, Taika Waititi and Jermaine Clement. As funny as the movie was the show might be even better. It's one of the rare shows where every single episode is hilarious! There's nothing more I can really say except to go watch this show, I promise you'll love it!
I'm dying!
This show is hysterical. Reminds me of the British 'The Office' without the uncomfortableness. Some people said the jokes don't land but that's the point. It's supposed to be awkward. So glad I found this. Not many shows interest me.
Best show on tv
This is the best show on tv at the moment, from the wonderfully crafted writing to the perfectly timed acting from a fantastic cast! First show in a while to make me audibly laugh.
Seeing the bad reviews is just depressing
It's hard to dislike this show. It has so many gifted and just plain funny actors. It's not gut busting humour, but rather a mellow guffaw. How you can muster enmity against a gloriously silly display like this is beyond me.
As Good As the Movie... And That's Saying A Lot
The original movie was hysterical from beginning to end and the same folks who wrote and starred in that one, wrote and directed this series. The entire situation is unique and different from anything else on TV, which helps to make it special. Don't miss it!
