To wish or demand for the same outcome time and again shows that immovability and stagnation of the human spirit are sadly more common than we were led to believe, and whilst some change will often rub against the sentiment of the purist, to decry that which sparks revolution is to corrode and rust itself.

What We Do In The Shadows (Series Three). Television Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Cast: Kayvan Novak, Matt Berry, Natasia Demeetriou, Harvey Guillén, Mark Proksch, Kristen Schaal, Lauren Collins, Tyler Alvarez, Aida Turturro, Catherine Cohen, Scott Bakula, Cree Summer, Donal Logue, Khandi Alexander, David Cross.

In the world of the ‘Mockumentary’, What We Do In The Shadows stands out as one of the finest examples of the genre. Not only does it have characters that are unassumingly charismatic, who you genuinely find yourself caring for, but the fact that it is able to develop, that the progressive nature of the writing, the situation and the narrative is fluid enough to keep the viewer on their toes, marks it out as one of the great comedies of the day.
