Okay, picture this: you're a vampire. Not the sparkly kind. The kind that mostly complains about Wi-Fi and struggles to open a jar of pickles. That's basically the vibe of What We Do in the Shadows, and season three? Oh honey, it's a wild ride.
So, What's the Tea in Season 3?
Remember how at the end of season two, Nandor, Nadja, and Laszlo accidentally became the leaders of the local vampire council? Yeah, they have absolutely no clue what they're doing. Imagine being put in charge of the PTA, but instead of bake sales, you're dealing with ancient, bloodthirsty creatures who all have very strong (and weird) opinions.
It's like being asked to manage a clown college, but all the clowns are immortal and prone to biting. Total chaos, but hilarious chaos.
Nandor's Eternal Search for...Well, Something
Poor Nandor the Relentless, the ancient warrior, is still on the hunt for love. He’s been alive for centuries, conquered countless foes, and yet, finding a girlfriend is harder than getting a cat to take a bath. He tries everything, from dating apps to hypnotism. Spoiler alert: things don't exactly go smoothly.
Think of it as trying to assemble IKEA furniture without the instructions. Frustrating, confusing, and probably going to end with someone yelling.
Nadja's Ambitions (and Doll Obsession)
Nadja, as always, is a force of nature. She wants to turn the Vampire Council into a well-oiled machine (or at least stop them from accidentally burning down the office). Also, her possessed doll version of herself gets into even more trouble.
She's like that friend who's always got a grand plan, even if that plan involves summoning spirits or starting a vampire nightclub.
Laszlo: Always the Charmer (and Topiary Enthusiast)
Laszlo, ever the suave and sophisticated vampire (with a penchant for…certain types of films), mostly wants to enjoy his afterlife. He gets caught up in some bizarre adventures, including a surprising turn as a topiary artist. Yes, topiary.
He's like that uncle who always has a slightly inappropriate joke and a surprisingly impressive collection of garden gnomes.
Guillermo: The Underappreciated MVP
And then there's Guillermo, Nandor’s long-suffering familiar. Secretly a Van Helsing descendant, he's constantly saving the vampires from themselves. He deserves a medal, a raise, and maybe a lifetime supply of garlic.
Guillermo is like the IT guy who keeps the whole office running but never gets any credit. A true unsung hero.
Why You Should Watch It (If You Haven't Already!)
Season 3 doubles down on everything you love about the show: witty writing, absurd situations, and characters who are both ridiculous and strangely endearing. It's comfort food for your brain, the equivalent of a warm blanket on a chilly night, but that blanket is also covered in glitter and might bite you.
If you're looking for a show that will make you laugh out loud, cringe occasionally, and maybe even feel a little bit sorry for a group of undead creatures, then What We Do in the Shadows season three is definitely for you.
It's the kind of show you can watch with your friends, your family (maybe not the super-sensitive ones), or even by yourself while eating an entire pizza. Because let's face it, sometimes you just need to escape into a world where vampires are just as clueless as the rest of us.
