A vampire mockumentary? Really? You better believe it, dear reader, because What We Do In The Shadows is an absolute joy to watch.

The concept is simple: four vampires – that’s Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), Laszlo (Matt Berry) and Colin (Mark Proksch) – live with their human familiar, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) in Staten Island. An unwaveringly loyal human familiar who helps his fanged overlords deal with chain emails, cursed dolls, local elections, and the application process for American citizenship… all while trying to hide the fact that he just so happens to be a vampire-killing descendant of Van Helsing.

Darkly excellent and always funny, it also helps that episodes are an oh-so-bingeable 22–30 minutes apiece.

What We Do In The Shadows is streaming on BBC iPlayer and Disney+.

Dickinson

Offering up a very different perspective on Emily Dickinson – who has traditionally been portrayed as a shy New England recluse – Dickinson sees the poet (Hailee Steinfeld) rebelling against the constraints of society, gender and family in a very millennial way. That is to say, by way of parties, clapbacks and a bevy of secret carriage-based rendezvous.

Dickinson is streaming on Apple TV+.
