And yet, there’s something about Shadows’ flavor apparent to all its fans which tastes distinctly of Waititi’s work. As Clement tells it, when the show was greenlit, Waititi handed its development entirely over to him while he went to work on Thor: Ragnorok. For years now, actual show creator Jemaine Clement has sardonically lamented the fact that Waititi, his collaborator on the original (and hilarious) 2014 What We Do in the Shadows film on which the television show was based, is so frequently credited as the lead architect of the program’s success, when his involvement has in fact been quite minimal. In other words, it’s another typical success story from New Zealand quintuple threat Taika Waititi, actor, writer, director, comedian, lover, and sole creator and mastermind of the entire series… if you ask most of the internet, anyway.
(Savor it – this is some of the last scripted content you’re likely to see on television before the effects of the writer’s strike really start kicking in.)
ACTION MOVIE FX FULL VERSION SERIES
The critically acclaimed and audience beloved What We Do in the Shadows is back this week for a fifth season, the FX mockumentary series about a house full of very silly vampires in Staten Island who make funny jokes, fail spectacularly to blend in with modern life, delight themselves in openly queer expression, and very frequently murder innocent people to harvest their blood.
