Although the troubles of our world never bled into “What We Do in the Shadows,” the story never shied away from politics within its own musty, rotten realm. In Season 3 Nandor the Relentless (Kayvan Novak) and Nadja of Antipaxos (Natasia Demetriou) took over the Vampiric Council of the Eastern Seaboard, splitting their duties until Nadja proved herself more worthy and invested in wielding power.
The comedy’s most recent episode finds Nandor coming to grips with being fired from his janitor job at the venture capital vampire firm where his former familiar Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) works by disappearing. The gang finds him holed up in a New Hampshire factory of a company Guillermo’s firm just finished gutting, babbling incoherently like Col. Kurtz in “Apocalypse Now.”
