From the desk
How this season is filed
Mockumentary vampires as roommates, and the running gag as blood sport. Nandor, Laszlo, Nadja, and poor Guillermo turn Staten Island immortality into the peak ensemble comedy of the cable-streaming hybrid years. Watch for improv-adjacent timing that never winks itself to death, and for a finale that knew when the coffin lid should close.
