I can't overstate how much I love this show. I'm a huge fan of What We Do in the Shadows and the TV show of the same name, so this was an attractive prospect: a mockumentary series set in the same universe, with the two police officers from the movie. Although I regret not diving into this show sooner, it was mighty satisfying to have three seasons (plus the Christmas special) to binge through over a few days. Right from the start of the pilot, I was in stitches, and I kept laughing out loud throughout the brilliant debut episode. This sheer wittiness, as well as the dry sense of humour, continues throughout the series, and the scope continues to heighten as the Paranormal squad deal with various bizarre threats. Nick from What We Do in the Shadows even appears in one of the episodes, and there are other appearances that'll delight fans of the movie. The writing is razor-sharp and the actors fully commit to their characters; the central pairing of Karen O'Leary and Mike Minogue (using their actual surnames for their characters) is a winner from every angle, and Maaka Pohatu is a hoot as Sgt. Maaka. Wellington Paranormal is side-splittingly hilarious and endlessly entertaining, and I look forward to watching each episode another hundred times while I wait for the upcoming fourth season. Don't sleep on this series - watch it!
