I've Been Bitten . . . Again!
Sunsphxsuns23 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Because I had previously reviewed Season 1 of "What We Do in the Shadows" in 2019, and absolutely loved it, I was surprised to see a somewhat critical "early review" from another reviewer regarding "Resurrection," the first episode of Season 2, 2020. Everyone of course is entitled to rate and critique films and television series as they like, however, for certain reasons, this particular reviewer's comments aroused my curiosity.

I then decided to read ALL of the reviews this individual has previously posted for other titles. And while I give the author credit for a decent use of the "star system rating," I also discovered that all of the reviews had one common theme: Nearly all of the comments were essentially negative. To post reviews with a consistently negative theme seems like a disingenuous mission. Is the author sincere or simply looking to post stinging comments? It was difficult to tell.

In any case, WWDITS Season 2 comes right out of the gate in startling comedic fashion, and in this first episode it is clear that the show's creators, Jemaine Clement and fellow New Zealander, Taika Waititi, have accelerated the momentum of this fabulous series. Bats continue to fly, coffins still creak, victims still bleed, and vampiric gags laced with slapstick continue to abound. Of course it's "not real!" It's great entertainment, the caliber of which will leave you immediately hoping there will be a Season 3 in 2021.

Season 2..
aakshiisrivastava1 May 2020
After watching ep4 I'm feeling appreciative of the first two because they were bang on. It had a steady pace and good writing.Episode three was okay but the fourth one was below average. I hope to god the following episodes pick up the pace and bring the season1 magic back!

Resurrection

If you don't take the show too seriously you can enjoy it. And I don't so I did.

Funny to an extent, but I won't call it "great".

Absolutely hilarious
notar0b0t18 April 2020
I loved it. There was no unfunny moment. Within the first minute I knew it was going to be a great episode. The bit about the air purifier? Instant classic. Guillermo's chocolate-covered espresso beans and Nandor thinking it was really dry poop? Do not get me started. And to the other reviewer, you want accuracy in a... vampire show? That's an oxymoron. And it was more or so said Topher was a zombie, or at least a zombie-like person, after Wallace's spell.

The Battling Familiars
Hitchcoc1 September 2022
After the deaths of seven familiars, a guy named Topher shows up. He manipulates the situation, taking advantage of Guillermo, pretending to be the one doing all the work. He is adored by everyone. They are always clueless, especially Nandor, who has no appreciation for what Guillermo does. Apparently, there have been vampire killers who routinely have stakes shoved through their hearts by our hero. When Topher gets electrocuted he is brought to a re-animator and brought back. However, he is out of his mind and probably a zombie. Nandor is angry because he thinks the two familiars are keeping him awake, playing their "juvenile" games. This episode is non-stop hilarity.

Not realistic (canonically speaking) but fairly funny

How can a human be stronger than a vampire? Makes very little sense

Anyway, this episode was fairly funny. I laughed twice, which isn't bad. It's honestly above-average and better than most episodes in Season 1.

Decent Start to the New Season
Darius_Emmanuel_Grouch_III26 December 2021
Overall pretty funny, but nothing amazing. Benedict Wong does a great job and Haley Joel Osmond has a pretty good guest appearance. Colin is still the best main character and continues to steal almost every scene he's in.
