Review of The Roast

What We Do in the Shadows: The Roast (2023)
Season 5, Episode 8
The Roast
26 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I have no idea what has happened to What We Do in the Shadows. This show used to be funny and we got almost no moments that were funny here.

Matt Berry is a gifted actor and him dedicating almost the entire episode to being dismissive and ignoring everyone was the kind of commitment only he could pull off. The roast was a decent idea, but then everything with The Baron happened and the bad chase scenes are just really dumbed down comedy.

This episode absolutely felt like a chore to get through and I do not really know how the show is going to get back on track from here. Hopefully it can end on a high note.
