REVIEW: ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ is still hauntingly good – Madison.com

When the vampires of What We Do in the Shadows get an invitation to a Super Bowl party, theyre not quite sure what to do.

Football? Whats that? They think its a Superb Owl party and plan accordingly.

With a genius concept like that, can the FX series be anything but must-see?

In the second season, the Staten Island vampires have to fend off ghosts, zombies and possessed creatures who lurk among them.

In these challenging times, our local businesses need your support. Find out how to get food, goods, services and more from those remaining open.

Even more interesting? Guillermo (Harvey Guillen) is a descendant of Van Helsing, the noted vampire killer. Can he really be their assistant if he has an innate desire to kill them?

Creator Jemaine Clement plays out the will he or wont he? scenario quite nicely, even taunting Guillermo with the idea of a replacement (you wont believe who it is). He gives Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) a scare, too, when she recognizes someone from her oh-so-distant past and lets Nandor (Kayvan Novak) wrestle with many of the problems we have with computers.

Season Two borrows plenty from current horror films and lets the vampires discover more about their world that they just dont like.

True to form, Nandor the Relentless plays one assistant against another and worries about the bad luck that could come from failing to forward a message to 10 friends.
