What We Do in the Shadows is a bit of a miracle. The FX comedy series took the premise of the beloved mockumentary film that inspired it — a group of vampires face the mundane struggles of living as roommates in a banal suburban town — and managed to match, and even surpass, the original. That the show is five seasons in and still finding new comedy to mine out of “vampires stuck in Staten Island!” is a gift unto itself. But it turns out that five seasons is what it takes for What We Do in the Shadows to start feeling redundant.
