Anyone else into this? Premieres this Wednesday (3/27) at 10pm on FX. It's just like the 2014 movie of the same name; a mockumentary that follows a group of vampires living in the real world. Thought the movie was hilarious and this looks to be just as good. Jermaine Clement and Taika Waititi, who wrote, directed and starre in the movie, are producing the TV series. Hoping at some point their characters make an appearance in the show

Kind of Monty Python meets vampires.
The movie was excellent, so I hope they can sustain this over at least a season.

Ah, I knew it looked familiar.

I don't remember much from the movie, but I don't believe I came away from it with a negative perception.

Got picked up for a 2nd season

:yes:



Awesome news. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite TV shows. I usually don't watch comedy shows since I rarely find them funny. South Park is the primary exception, and this show is a 2nd exception.

You will then. This show does a remarkable job of capturing the feel of the movie. It borrows some of the plot points from the movie as well but there's enough new stuff to make it feel fresh

the main characters from the movie :yes:. Was hoping they'd pop up

Do it. It's great. If you love Clement and Waititi style of humor, you'll definitely like it

Clement can be good, but sometimes he just gets a bit too much for my tastes. Not sure how much “him” was in his character in Legion, but I just didn’t enjoy that one at all.

I am not certain I am familiar with Waititi’s humor. I really only know him from Marvel.

:laugh: Episode 6, The Baron's Night out was fucking hysterical. I had to pause it a couple of times to get control of myself.

Not my cup of tea. I watched the first 3 eps or so. No continuity. No intelligence. No laughs. Lots of pretension.
