What We Do in the Shadows: New York City Shenanigans
Ah, Staten Island. The land of forgotten dreams and questionable pizza. But for our beloved vampires, Nandor, Laszlo, Nadja, and Marwa, it's home sweet home (or at least as homey as a creepy mansion overlooking the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge can be).
Let's dive into the daily (or rather, nightly) chaos:
-
Nandor the Relentless: Still convinced he's a fearsome warrior, Nandor spends his days (or rather, nights) attempting to conquer the mundane. Think: "Operation: Dominate the Local Supermarket" (which mostly involves confusing the self-checkout). His attempts at "charming" humans often backfire spectacularly, usually involving awkward silences and unintentional offense.
-
Laszlo Cravensworth: The ever-charming (and slightly debauched) Laszlo is living his best life. He's perfecting his "human" disguise (which mostly involves a questionable wig and a questionable accent), indulging in his passion for 18th-century literature, and generally causing mischief wherever he goes.
-
Nadja of Antipaxos: The ever-stylish and eternally exasperated Nadja is trying to maintain some semblance of order in the chaotic household. This usually involves exasperated sighs, dramatic pronouncements, and the occasional (and highly entertaining) attempt at human "fashion."
-
Marwa: The newest addition to the crew, Marwa brings a much-needed dose of practicality (and a healthy skepticism) to the group. While she initially clashed with the other vampires, she's slowly but surely finding her place in the household.
And let's not forget Guillermo: The human familiar who's been patiently waiting centuries for Nandor to turn him. His patience is wearing thin, and his attempts to "hint" at his desire for vampirism are becoming increasingly desperate.
Life in Staten Island is never dull for our vampire friends. There are constant squabbles, unexpected encounters with mundane human life (like that time they accidentally attended a PTA meeting), and of course, the occasional blood-soaked feast.
But through it all, they remain a dysfunctional family, bound by centuries of (mostly) good-natured bickering and an unwavering commitment to living their best (after)lives.
