Elite-level comedy on Hulu 👀

Here recently I got extremely lucky and stumbled upon two of my favorite comedy tv shows ever. Streaming apps are chock-full of different options. It can be quite cumbersome to sort through it all, especially when many of the platforms do not have the greatest UI to navigate through. That is why I feel quite a bit lucky to have found both of the shows I want to talk about today.

I will not be spoiling the plot of either show, but I do think I'll be able to provide enough incentive to get you interested enough to give both a shot.

^{The two shows I'll be talking about today are...}

^{What We Do In The Shadows

and

Reboot}

Shall we get started?

What We Do In The Shadows 🧛🏻‍♀️🧛🏼🧛🏻‍♂️

A look into the daily (or rather nightly) lives of four vampires who've lived together on Staten Island for over a century. ^{^Source}

I'm not sure how I managed to sleep on this show for multiple years. It originally started in 2019 and Season 4 has just concluded with more seasons already confirmed. It's rated a powerful 8.6/10 on IMDb. If it's not clear already that this show is a killer, then let me explain further.

These aren't your ordinary vampires. They are absolutely filthy and absurd creatures of the night. You get three vampires which have been around for thousands of years. Nandor works as a leader of sorts. Then there is Nadja and Laszlo who are a sex-crazed couple who have been through it all together. Colin Robinson is also a vampire, but not the blood-drinking type. He is an energy vampire and by far the most mundane person in the entire world. He's so boring that he's absolutely hilarious. Lastly, there is the trustworthy Guillermo. He is the familair aka servant of Nandor and will do anything for the household and takes jab after jab from these vampires.

I shit you not when I say every single episode of this show is outrageously funny. It follows a similar cycle of something like Family Guy or other comedy shows like that. Each episode is a totally different story and sometimes not even related to the previous one. You will see the same 5 main characters, but many other guests. Some are quite familiar actors that make small appearances in this show. That just tells you how high the quality is on this one, a few big-time actors just want to say they were in it even if only for an episode.

I'm about to start season 3 and can't wait to see what else is in store for these vampires. If you like raunchy humor and all things vampire-related, then What We Do In The Shadows is a match made in heaven (or hell) for you.

Reboot 🎬🤣

Follows an early 2000s family sitcom that Hulu has rebooted and its dysfunctional cast that must deal with their unresolved issues in today's fast-changing world. ^{^Source}

This show just concluded its first season and it went surprisingly very well. The rating is a 7.5 on IMDb and I think that's accurate. It's not quite as good as the vampire show, but it's still really great.

The idea of Reboot is somewhat confusing until you all of a sudden just get it. Basically, it's a show within a show. The series follows actors in Hollywood making a reboot of a classic family sitcom. This sitcom never actually existed in real life, but other than that it's like you're on set for a tv show most of the time.

The plot follows several different characters, the stand-out being Keegan-Michael Key as Reed Sterling. All of these must come together after many years of separation and drama. Some used to date, others were a child the last time they were face to face, and there are a few new additions as well.

The thing I like about this show so much is that it pits the old-school ways of comedy with this new woke culture comedy that is often so annoying. The two sides go head to head when two polar opposites Hannah and her dad Gordon who abonded her at a young age both get control over the show. He wishes to stick to the roots of the show, while she aims to modernize it. That is just one of many conflicts within this show, all of which are quite comical.

This show may not be quite as easy to love as What We Do In The Shadows, but Reboot is still very much worth your time.

Have you watched either of these tv series yet❓

I'm very curious to know if any of you have also stumbled upon either of these shows. If you are like me and have watched a lot of both, I'd love to know which of these you prefer.

For me, it has to be What We Do In The Shadows. It is quite possibly my favorite little comedy tv show to ever exist. No wonder it is already confirmed to have a 5th season that will most likely air during the summer of 2023.
