Review of The Roast

What We Do in the Shadows: The Roast (2023)
Season 5, Episode 8
6/10
Great show, dragging on plot
26 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This entire season has felt like episode by episode they have no idea what to do or where they are headed.

In the past, every episode felt good and solid. It was making beats towards a story or fleshing out the world.

With the entire of season 5 with Guillermo being a vampire, we have gotten multiple episodes that have kept the plot exactly the same: Nandor has no idea and Guillermo has no powers.

At the very least they could've given subplots of Guillermo exploring his powers and having to hide them but no. This episode does feature small bits but it still feels like Guillermo is a super-powered familiar vs a burgeoning vampire.

I hope for this show's sake they can land it hard in the next two episodes or I am going to stop anticipating new episodes then binging them when the season is over. I would love if this show made me excited to see what was next rather than feeling let down that the plot hasn't advanced & nothing is new.
