Shadow Plays

We've been having trouble coming up with a good TV series to watch that's streaming on Netflix or Amazon Prime. So I figured we get a series on disc, and watch one of our weekly movies on streaming. So we picked What We Do in the Shadows (2019). We had liked the original movie so why not? Also, for logistical purposes, half-hour shows are better than one hour. There are enough on a disc to get most of the way through the week, and also, it fits our schedule better.

So far, we've enjoyed it, but it's kind of the same as the movie. That's good enough, but maybe we were hoping for something a little more. One thing that is new is Mark Proksch as an energy vampire - the kind who just drains the emotional life out of his victims by boring them. He is not our favorite - I guess he's too real.

But we're already on the second disc. We'll see how long we feel like watching - it might get better, it might get worse, we might get hooked, we might get bored. At least we have something to watch with dinner.
