That’s the beauty of What We Do in the Shadows: the specificity of the characters, their situations, and their reactions, and the fact that you could plop them in any scenario and they’d be hysterical. Along the way they get a visit from the Baron (Doug Jones), some freaky little Guillermo animal clones, their lively New Jersey neighbors, and the Guide (Kristen Schaal), who desperately wants to be one of the gals.īut ultimately, this could be anything. This season, the details are paramount - Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) tries to rid herself of a hex, Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) is running for political office Nandor (Kayvan Novak) is unaware that Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) has been turned, while Laszlo ( Matt Berry) attempts to help uncover why he’s not a full vampire already. Not just because your mileage may vary on that pitch What We Do in the Shadows remains one of the best comedies, with some of the best-drawn characters who drive situations to their logical, eternally perverse ends. Hanging out with vampires in Staten Island is more fun than it ought to be. What We Do in the Shadows season 5Ĭast: Harvey Guillén, Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou How To with John Wilson season 3 is available to watch on Max. There’s too much wonder in all of us for that. How To is funny, because life is funny, in all the compromises we make in order to coexist and indulgences we allow ourselves in order to cope when feeling adrift. The result is a bittersweet meditation on memory via the mundanely odd lives of the people Wilson meets, where we learn that the questions he asks himself are also being asked in some form by a man who wants to live in a missile silo or the people who nurse petty grudges in a West Virginia “radio silence zone” where they live off the grid. This made each of How To’s previous too-brief seasons a delight, but in this third and final season, Wilson continually makes time to interrogate himself and his compulsion to make his films. There’s never any judgment, only curiosity, no matter how outlandish his subjects may be. These people all accept Wilson - a weirdo with a camera - as he is, and How To returns the favor. The most striking thing about watching How To is seeing how many people invite Wilson in when he asks: to their homes, their party buses, their conventions, their Burning Man trips. He begins with a how-to prompt, and then abandons it as quickly as possible once he meets someone in his journey worth following. In its third season, the show continued its trend of being creator John Wilson’s documentary diary. Perhaps it’s because the format of How To simply is a joke. That’s not to say it isn’t funny - each episode of the off-kilter HBO sorta-documentary is full of great documentary comedy, from visual puns to the dramatic irony of interviews with subjects who believe they’d survive the apocalypse when it’s pretty clear their odds are only marginally better than yours, at best. Our latest update added What We Do in the Shadows and The Great.Įvery episode of How To with John Wilson feels like it’s setting up a joke, only the punchline never comes. At the end of the year, the Polygon staff will get together and vote on our favorites for a final, ranked list. That means that the show with most recent finale will be listed first, and then the next most recent, all the way down to the earliest finale of 2023. While this is a rolling list, the series here will be listed in reverse chronological order, by season finale. Still, time marches on, and brings with it new, fabulous TV offerings - including some early contenders for the best of the year. What a gift! Even in an ongoing time where there’s just so much TV to wade through, it’s hard to be mad about so much beauty in the world.Īt this point in the year, it’s possible that people are still working through the things they missed from 2022, let alone catching up on every single thing they could from 2023. Long-form serialized storytelling - what a concept. We’re going to put this really simply for you: TV whips. ![]()
