If you want to watch something that's more pure comedy/less drama, this season of What We Do In the Shadows has been knocking it out of the park. The latest episode was centered on Colin Robinson, the "Energy Vampire," it made me laugh so hard, I almost peed my pants. I'm also loving what they are doing with Guillermo this season.
Can I mop your brow? I am at the ready with the fearsome brow-mop.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have not watched the latest episode yet but Guillermo's storyline hasn't been inspired!
Also have not watched ZEP yet.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
dcp, I felt the opposite. Or not exactly the opposite, maybe. With The Body I felt like I couldn't breathe. I don't think I could let myself react at all until Anya's speech at which point the ugly sobs started. It hurt. ZEP left me teary, but Zoe's ability to connect with Mitch added some sweetness to the sadness. It made it bearable.

What We Do In the Shadows is the best thing on TV right now. Nadja is a role model.

Atropa, there's a shot in the opening title of Nadja in a leather jacket (with Lazslo) and every week I do a double take thinking it is actually you for a split second. Every week.
(Aside: autocorrect made your name Stripes and when I went to change it back suggested Strops as a replacement and that is just super funny!)

That is possibly the best compliment I've received in ages!

Punishingly Intricate
What We Do in the Shadows also has the best theme song!

Yesssss! I've been loving this season. I thought the ep with the email curse was absolutely inspired, I laughed all the way through it.
I do also love Guillermo's whole arc -- that he's upsettingly good at killing vampires despite venerating them his whole life! That he's trying to protect "his" vampires, at the expense of others. Really brilliant.

Yes, and I also loved that the vampires whose house he ended up at were infinitely more competent than the ones he's used to.
