WORTH WATCHING: Out of the ‘Shadows,’ ...What We Do in the ShadowsFX
SEASON PREMIERE
10/9c
Pour yourself a bowl of Count Chocula (yes, they go there) and groove to a new season of the side-splitting supernatural comedy, launching a fourth season with back-to-back episodes. The opener jumps a year from last season’s finale, with hapless vampires Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) and their eternally frustrated human slave/familiar Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) returning from abroad to find the Staten Island mansion in an even more decrepit state than usual. (Turns out Matt Berry’s unrepentant Laszlo has become hooked on a parody of
Property Brothers to little effect.) Freaking everyone out is the pint-sized (but growing) creature that emerged from the body of energy vampire Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch), but the tyke soon shows unexpected gifts. The slapstick antics escalate when Nadja opens a vampire nightclub and Nandor enlists magical help to find his true love. It’s all so wonderfully, spellbindingly silly.
