Taika Waititi (“Thor 3: Day of Decision”) and Jemaine Clement (“Men In Black III”) brought the beautiful mockumentary “5 Room Kitchen Coffin” to the cinema in 2014. It’s all about a strange shared vampire apartment. After the film was able to build a large fan community, “What we do in the shadows(also the original title of “5 Zimmer Küche Sarg”) launched a spin-off in series form.
In America, season 6 is just around the corner, while in Germany we have now arrived at season 4. This was launched at the beginning of this year by streaming provider Joyn. To watch the series there, you need a Plus account. In addition, you now also have an alternative option to watch Season 4 of the vampire comedy, which is available starting today with a Disney+ subscription.
One of the funniest comedy series
‘What We Do In The Shadows’ is one of the best comedy series of the moment, and not just for the author of these lines. Also on the reviews collection page The series received no less than 97 percent positive reviews from the press – and that was completely justified. Just like the 2014 film, the serial spin-off not only scores points with dry puns and uninhibited dadaistic situational comedy. It’s the characters that make the series so special.
Nandor (Kayvan Novak), his confidante Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) and the other bloodsuckers such as Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Dematriou) and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) are drawn so organically and endearingly that you are only too happy to be a part from this very quirky shared apartment, which is not just about the daily life of vampires today. Particularly as a culture-clash comedy about a handful of characters fallen out of time (Nandor, for example, is a few hundred years old!), ‘What We Do In The Shadows’ is simply admirably funny.
So would you like to immerse yourself in a comedy series that still has the status of an insider tip, especially in this country? Then ‘What We Do In The Shadows’ is exactly what you are looking for. On Disney+ you can stream not only season 4, but of course also the episodes of the three previously released seasons.
