US: What We Do In The Shadows (Series)

I was thinking this, it doesn't seem to have any sort of direction any more, even the great Matt Berry is dull and seems to be a background character now. I used to look forward to this every week and now i will just watch it when i get round to it. Lost its way and will probably be cancelled.

Season 5 and 6 are already booked i read and it would have to be real flop in ratings and viewers for them to abandon it and try to start a new show from scratch.

Even at 70% its better than many shows on TV in the USA. Some of them are so bad and they are on season 10+ or whatever
 
As others said, season 4 is quite weak compared to previous ones, so far. Hard to put my finger on it, but it's missing a spark. Guillermo still steals every scene he is in, but something is missing

Baby Colin is funny for about 1 episode and then it's wearing thin already.

i keep meaning to go back to this, thought the first couple of seasons were great until Kristen Shaal joined and i fell right off it. how is it now?, any more Matt Berry solo episodes?

Mixed bag for you!

No more solo Matt episodes. But I would say S4 focuses on his character a lot. Conversely though I would say S3 has a lot of Kristen Shaal in it.

S4 wasn't funny, at least the first 3 EPS i struggled through weren't and the dialogue was repetitive and really poor. It all seemed phoned in to me.

I absolutely loved the first 3 seasons, but I did fear they would overdo it and they have. It's lost its charm.

I cringed when I saw the baby Colin thing coming, such a cheap device, if they had run out of ideas with what to do with the characters then they should have stopped.

I never thought Lazlo was the best thing in it either, for me its just Matt Berry again and i've seen his act many times, he's very good but it's one-note. Nadia, Colin and the Nando/Guilermo thing was far better.
 
Only found this show a couple weeks ago, I have almost binged all of it.
Understand some weak episodes, but this has been the funniest show I have seen in a long time!
 
And it's all over....

Final episode was OK. Nothing special but a fitting end to the final season.

This will be a series I rewatch again for many years to come.
