What We Do in the Shadows: Local News (2023)
Season 5, Episode 5
9/10
they are on fire this season!
11 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
After S3 started to drag and S4 really started to drag, I was worried that the rather thin premise of "laugh at the fish-out-of-water vampires" has run its course but this show has defeated the odds and turned things around. How many shows have their best seasons this far into the run?

This was yet another display of wacky insane antics, some of the best yet (maybe even better than Sean & friends going berserk and doing donuts in a stolen cop car). Plus we get some real emotional heft in Guillermo's possibly final visit to his human family, of course interrupted by his toxic job. I hope the de la Cruz family will eventually be integrated more into the show, especially Grandma and Cousin Miguel.
