My favorite comedies tend to share an underlying ideology.
There arent that many comedies like this.
But the best very dumb, very serious show on TV right now isWhat We Do in the Shadows.
The silliness in this show is visible right on the surface.
Its about four vampires who live together in a big Gothic mansion on Staten Island.
Nandor is a big, sweet, well-intentioned, and occasionally murderous former warrior.
Their blend of lethality and weakness is totally absurd.
They are, bless their hearts, just the sweetest, dumbest monsters imaginable.
but the real key to the series is the fifth member of their household, Guillermo.
In season two, though, that dynamic has shifted dramatically.
Why should he waste his life for these monsters who dont appreciate him?
Guillermo is more sad, more dignified, and more empowered.
