Did ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ create a ‘perfect’ finale? We discuss
LA TimesThis article contains spoilers for the series finale of “What We Do in the Shadows.” Can vampires be funny? I think the nod to “The Usual Suspects” was another moment that had me in stitches I was curious how they would tie everything together, considering so much of this season has been about Guillermo — played by Harvey Guillén, a brilliant actor who I hope we see more of soon — beginning to let go of the roommates/coven that he’s been with for so long. Brown: I got to talk to them right around the time that they would usually be heading to Toronto to film the next season, so they were all feeling a little nostalgic and mentioned how it was weird that they weren’t getting ready for more “Shadows.” The cast is really close so they shared how they had just been texting each other “I miss you” or even messages joking about their flight being delayed or making plans in Toronto as if they were about to go shoot another season. Matt Berry in the Season 5 episode “Pride Parade.” Vanessa Bayer and Mark Proksch in Season 5’s “The Campaign.” Brown: It’s tough to keep it to a short list but I’ll go with Vanessa Bayer as emotional vampire Evie Russell and, of course, Mark Hamill as Jim the Vampire. As much as I wish this show would go on, ending on a high note is good, though I’ll miss hearing “You’re Dead” any time I started up a new episode.
