If you love the movie, you’ll love the show!

What We Do in the Shadows follows a small group of vampires living together on Staten Island and the adventures that ensue. The film, which follows another group in Wellington, New Zealand, is excellent and I highly recommend it if #39; I haven’t seen it before.

What makes a show better than a movie is the episodic nature of television

The episodic format means that storylines can start and end faster than a movie, characters can be more developed and thrown into a wider variety of crazy situations. The film had a great worldview, but it was able to do a lot with only an 85-minute runtime, and the performance is further supported by having more time.

Thank goodness season 2 is on the way!

The show wouldn’t work if Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, who wrote/directed/starred in the film, weren’t on board. They ensured that the tone, production design, filming style and humor were on par with the film.
