After six seasons of vampire antics and comedic chaos, FX's "What We Do in the Shadows" came to a close. This finale offered a deep reflection on how the main characters, Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), Colin (Mark Proksch), and Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), remained largely unchanged. It also provided a perfect series finale with nods to the "Usual Suspects" and a surprising twist that added a poignant touch to the mix of physical gags and one-liners.

Setting the Stage

The series kicked off with confessionals where Colin and Laszlo planned to build a female companion for Cravensworth's Monster (Andy Assaf), and Guillermo discussed Nandor's underground crime-fighting lair. These setups laid the foundation for the jokes that would pay off later.In the finale, the crew suddenly announced that they had enough footage and the documentary was ending. This news sent Guillermo into a spiral as he struggled to accept the end of his hard work.

Emotional Turmoil and Support

Nadja, with her experience as a Wall Street employee, was the only one to notice Guillermo's emotional distress. She convinced Nandor to comfort him, and Colin joined in with comforting phrases. These moments showed the depth of their relationships.

Unpacking the Past

The group then revealed that this wasn't the first documentary they had filmed. In 1958, they were doing similar things. This led Guillermo to see an opportunity to rewrite the past and offer a new perspective. They discussed lessons learned, with Laszlo focusing on sex and laughs and the Guide on immigration.

Hypnotizing the Audience

Nadja offered to hypnotize the audience into seeing their perfect ending, and the show briefly switched to a parody of the "Usual Suspects". This added a unique twist to the finale.

The Final Moments

As the episode neared its end, Laszlo led a singalong of Guy Lombardo's "We'll Meet Again", and Guillermo told Nandor it was his final night. But then, Nandor revealed the secret entrance to the underground crime-fighting lair, surprising Guillermo.After the credits rolled, the roommates watched a rough cut of the docuseries and seemed bored before turning it off. It was a fitting end to a series that had brought so much joy and laughter.
