I made a post back when the previous season of What We Do In The Shadows ended (which I can’t seem to find now, thanks for nothing, Tumblr) discussing how it ended the way it did because the whole central theme of the show is really how bad people trap themselves in Hells of their own making where nothing ever changes for the better because they refuse to make the effort to work on their flaws and how, once you cut through the jokes and metaphor, it’s really a show about a group of social parasites slowly destroying whatever joy they could have in life because they’re too set in their toxic ways to do even the bare minimum of treating other people decently, let alone actually doing something good with their lives.

And I bring this up, because the season premiere, I think, just drove the point home EVEN HARDER. Because despite everything that happened in the previous season, the vampires and Guillermo have ended up literally directly back at square fucking one. After everything, every zany scheme, every wacky adventure, every interaction with others, they’ve wound up right back where they started as they always do; puttering around the same shitty old mansion they’ve been in for years. They destroy every possible escape from that godforsaken house and no matter what they try, they inevitably drift back to it because it’s the only place for a group of people like them.

Nandor is still doing stupid shit because of how stuck in the past he is and still burying his feelings constantly. Lazlo is still a bungling moron who’s not nearly as skilled as he thinks he is and still has nobody to hang out with socially except his wife and Sean. Nadja is still whining about never getting what she wants after having literally burned down the best thing to happen to her in years. Colin is still leeching off everyone around him with no meaning in his life except boring others and he doesn’t even remember how Lazlo cared for him while he was regenerating. Even Guillermo FINALLY getting turned into a vampire changed absolutely nothing about his life; the process isn’t working like it’s supposed to — probably because of his vampire hunter bloodline — and nothing has improved about his life. He’s still just playing butler to the vamps and getting nothing but disrespect for it.

I love this show, man. It’s an absolutely brilliant deconstruction of the whole concept of sitcoms, pointing out how toxic, pathetic, and weird a group of friends in real life who do nothing but making snarky comments for a nonexistent camera and getting into wacky situations would be, while at the same time being a legitimately hilarious example of the genre. If it weren’t a silly comedy about vampires, it’d probably be a hard-hitting drama about a bunch of drug addicts squatting in a dilapidated rental being toxic to each other and only leaving to go on benders they don’t even remember after and that is oddly brilliant.

The hubris on display caused me to neglect my thirst. And in neglect my thirst grew harder, my temples throbbed, and finally I could not stand it any longer. And I was through struggling. Rats, cats, dogs would no longer suffice.
