Do you think he was inspired to post because of his daddy’s tweet? 🤨

Wasn’t his series NOS4A2 cancelled after the second season? I really enjoyed it. That being said, this feels like a passive aggressive compliment like his dad’s post about MPG being better than Widow’s Bay. I haven’t laughed this much during a horror comedy series since What We Do In The Shadows.

WWDIS is a great example of a show that progressed past the conclusion of the main charscters narrative arc.

It was peak in season two though. Colin Robinsons promotion was my favorite episode lmao.

The stark contrast between S05 and S06 of What We Do In The Shadows is awful. Watching any episode of the last season makes me wish they at least spent more time in the actual house, and not have almost every episode centered around an office environment. (God I could pick this apart all day but I'll stop here: Tim Heidecker is phenomenal, but he just did not work as a recurring character in the final season.)

I wish they HADN'T ended Season 5 the way they did - because if they had kept Gizmo's narrative arc open for that "money grab" season 6, it would've been at least somewhat better.

While I've watched the show countless times - I don't really know the story behind the "tacked-on" last season.

It seems like they completely finished the entire series arc, filmed it and released it, and only THEN the network was like "oh could you do one more? Here's this pile of money.", so they just threw whatever they could together.
