WHO: Jemaine Clement & Taika Waititi
WHAT: What We Do in the Shadows
WHY: I think most people were equal parts surprised and excited when it was announced that the cult movie was going to be turned into a TV show. But it shouldn’t surprise anyone that the outcome was so great considering it’s such a comedic powerhouse. In addition to Clement and Waititi, What We Do in the Shadows features such talented writers as Tom Scharpling and Stefani Robinson. The show’s style is instantly recognizable to anyone who has seen the movie, including its sharp writing, unique visuals, and hilarious situations. Add to that a perfect cast and the ambitious world-exploring and you end up with a show that’s edgy, engaging, and unique. There’s nothing like it on TV right now.
