Viewed: Season 4

Another year, another fantastic season of What We Do in the Shadows, which is still one of my favorite shows currently airing. Somehow, the creative spark of the show is still present, and none of the show's leads have left at this point (Mark Proksch returns as the creature who crawled out of Colin Robinson's corpse, with his face being placed onto babies and small children... it is gold). Not every episode is a hit necessarily, but there are some excellent ideas and episodes throughout this 10-episode season, including one episode which is shot, edited and presented to be an episode of a renovation reality TV show (and the payoff is magical). The lore of the world is further explored, and there is more welcome development for the main characters. I love watching these actors play their characters, as they have their roles down pat and continue to have a lot of fun. It's probably fortuitous that the show is only 10 episodes per season, as the writing quality remains top-notch and we continue to reliably get one season per year, even despite the COVID slowdowns. Even better, new seasons now debut in the lead-up to Halloween time, which is appropriate. Plus, shorter seasons means the actors are available for other projects and hopefully won't burn out or lose interest. The show has already been renewed for another two seasons which I eagerly await.
