Taika Waititi has become one of the most respected names in Hollywood over the last few years, but even before his big break he was putting out gems. What We Do In The Shadows, which he also starred in, was one such gem, chronicling the life and times of modern day vampire buddies.

In 2019, the movie was adapted into a hilarious TV series, one which stays true to the bizarrely funny tones of the original while spinning off in its own direction.

The central three cast members all took vastly different paths to arrive here, but manage to blend together perfectly with a fantastic dynamic. Matt Berry is the biggest name, with his distinctive voice a huge force in British comedy this century. Kayvan Novak meanwhile has had stellar success in the likes of Four Lions and Fonejacker, though without the name brand recognition of Berry.

Natasia Demetriou meanwhile has had a much more niche career, with supporting roles in British cult comedies, yet manages to steal most scenes. All in all, it’s a fantastically put together show.
