IndieWire Eric Kohn

More often than not, however, “Shadows” crystallizes its black comic formula, shakes it around, and tries again. It’s hard to tell how long this one-trick pony will still have legs, but Season 2 proves that there’s a long way to go before the break of dawn. Read full review

This new season is exactly what you want from What We Do in the Shadows, but even better. Read full review

“What We Do in the Shadows” unfolds with tongue planted firmly in cheek. Parody presides over plot, and humor over horror, though occasionally the show takes a pitstop to indulge in undead melancholy and black magic sadism. Read full review

What We Do In The Shadows is exactly what you want a high-concept sitcom about Staten Island vampires to be: funny, fast, unpretentious, and dumb in the very best possible way. Read full review

Season two builds on its predecessor — and goes where few vampire tales have gone before — by having Guillermo explore, however reluctantly, his inborn knack for Buffy-esque carnage. ... Season two also expands the What We Do in the Shadows world in a sillier, if just as genre-savvy, way. Read full review

It isn’t laugh-out-loud comedy, but it’s satisfyingly silly. Read full review

This show is a hilarious view of vampires.... a day in the life of! Just when you think the mockumentary form was all used up, this tongue in cheek style offers giggles, bursts of come-from-nowhere laughter, and top-worthy cringe moments. Love it!

Probably the best season of the show, it has so many great moments. Season 2 had a great cliffhanger that was addressed fairly well in season 3, the guest stars of this season really make it stand above 1 and 3, IMO

Fantastic! This is the shows best season so far. Refining the black humour they were grasping in season one. This has the makings of a classic with award worthy ensemble performances and a jaw dropping finale. It's definitely worth investing your time into.

It's silly and dopey but it works. Sometimes simple and dumb isn't so simple or dumb. Very watchable. I wouldn't binge watch it, but I always look forward to new episodes. Much better than the original movie.

The three hapless vampires and their familiar continue to encounter trouble in the form of lovers from past lives, werewolves and members of their own kind.

The first season of What we Do in the Shadows took a few episodes to find it’s feet, but this second seasons hits the ground runningThe three hapless vampires and their familiar continue to encounter trouble in the form of lovers from past lives, werewolves and members of their own kind.

The first season of What we Do in the Shadows took a few episodes to find it’s feet, but this second seasons hits the ground running from the opening episode. The writers seem to have a new sense of confidence, happily exploring increasingly bizarre premises, and managing to mine plenty of laughs from all of them.… Expand

This season is just as funny as the first season and continues to explore the supernatural in a hilarious way especially with Guillermo's unwillingness to admit to his heritage.

I wasn't sure that this show would meet my high expectations from the movie it's based on and I was slightly correct, but I still enjoyed most of the episodes.
