What We Do in the Shadows

2019–2024 · 6 seasons

A deadpan mockumentary that turns vampire roommates into a workplace sitcom, full of absurd bickering and gory slapstick.

Tagline: Don't ask what they do outside the shadows.
Overview: A documentary-style look into the daily (or rather, nightly) lives of a group of vampires in Staten Island who have “lived” together for hundreds and hundreds of years.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, campy and light. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Identity, friendship, found family, ambition
Content: Strong language. Mild violence, gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
