The first three episodes of What We Do in the Shadows Season 6 continue the show’s quirky, dark humor, blending nostalgia with new, macabre elements. The return of Jerry, a long-slumbering vampire, brings back references to the early days of the show, highlighting how much has changed—or remained the same. These episodes delve deeper into the gang’s unresolved aspirations, setting up arcs that hint at a fitting conclusion for the series.
The characters are thrust into more eerie, grotesque scenarios, amplified by Jerry’s return and his dissatisfaction with the group’s stagnation. This season embraces more supernatural chaos, particularly through Laszlo’s attempts at creating a Frankenstein-like creature and Guillermo’s struggles with his new, partially human state. The humor feels sharper, though some moments tread familiar ground, with the show oscillating between biting satire and reflections on the vampire coven’s longevity.
As the gang explores their fractured dreams, these episodes lay the groundwork for the final season’s potential resolutions. Although still hilarious, the pacing at times feels rushed, with some storylines introduced and quickly set aside. Nonetheless, the show still delivers its signature deadpan humor and sharp wit, making it a strong start to the season.
With a score of 8/10, these episodes are a solid reminder of why What We Do in the Shadows has become a beloved comedy, even if there’s a sense that the series is slowly nearing its end.
