The series refuses to rest on its laurels, repeatedly expanding its crazy vampire mythology and universe in unexpected ways.

Five seasons in, and it still feels like we've only scratched the surface of its biggest potential. From leaning into energy vampire mythology to posing the larger question of what it is that really makes someone a vampire, the show is delving into some truly exciting places while never losing sight of its identity.

In the four episodes screened for review, this comedy remains one of TV's funniest ongoing shows. Arguably less story-driven than in the previous season, “WWDITS'” returns to its primary roots with episodic raunchy, supernatural kookiness.

In other words, all of our plots are slowly moving around, but What We Do In The Shadows is, happily, a show more concerned with the fun of getting somewhere than the destination. [The score is the average of the grades for the first two episodes.]

Of course, anyone who didn’t find “What We Do in the Shadows” funny for its first four seasons is unlikely to be turned by the fifth, but that really shouldn’t be how a show is judged at this point in its legacy. FX executives don’t need to worry about converting new comedy fans into creatures of the night as much as holding onto the ones who already believe. Based on the quality of the first four episodes of the new season, they can sleep well at night.

That loopy quality is what makes “WWDITS” so fun. Just when you think it’s headed down a familiar path, it pivots and finds a new vein.

Viewers who know and love these characters may be willing to go along for the ride indefinitely, like good familiars, but in terms of humor, the mockumentary well is now running more absurd than dry.
