FX’s What We Do in the Shadows continues this Wednesday. Here’s everything you need to know to watch “Animal Control” online and not miss a minute.
FX’s What We Do in the Shadows continues to integrate its vampires into the larger world of both Staten Island and New York – exploring local bureaucracy, introducing the neighborhood werewolf pack and visiting a popular Manhattan vampire night club.
This week, the gang appears to run afoul of another New York institution: Animal Control.
Lazzlo’s random habit of shouting “BAT!” loudly before he transforms into one of the nocturnal creatures is one of the show’s most entertaining – and kind of bizarre – quirks. But per the episode synopsis, that transformation will have some unfortunate consequences this week, when the vampire is trapped in his bat form.
"Laszlo, in bat form, is captured by Staten Island Animal Control and must be rescued, while Nadja can no longer resist reconnecting with her reincarnated lover Gregor."
In less exciting news, Nadja’s weird Gregor subplot appears to be returning, which is unfortunate, in that her weird fascination with recently dead (we think?) LARP-er Jenna was much more entertaining.
This kind of story is exactly the sort of thing that What We Do in the Shadows excels at, inserting the vampires and their general weirdness into the regular world, without expecting either to be able to understand the others.
(The clip of Colin and Nandor looking for their illegal lost pet bat at the shelter? Comedy gold. And early shoutout to guest star Siobhan Fallon Hogan – a.k.a Edgar’s wife from Men in Black – who always does droll delivery so well.)
