10 Shows That Made Me Hate the World (a Little) Less in 2022What We Do in the ShadowsUsually, stories about vampires are out to make you scream — or at least gasp. And in fairness, FX's
What We Do in the Shadows sometimes does make you gasp, just with excitement. Mostly, though, it never fails to cause cackles. The fourth season, which aired during the summer of 2022, was no different, following the centuries-old vampires who live in Staten Island and their human familiar-slash-secret-vampire-hunter-slash-soon-to-be-vampire-himself Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) as they opened a night club, planned a wedding, got a makeover for their mansion, and raised a new version of Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) from infancy. The stakes (no pun intended) were higher than ever before as a trip overseas between seasons created new tension among some of the vampires and their new endeavors presented additional challenges. But even when things seemed outlandish (even for a series about supernatural beings), stories always tied together with emotional weight and meaning. It was a great way to trade one dark world (our real one) for another slightly more wacky one, even if just for a half an hour reprieve at a time.
