Of course some may reasonably disagree, but for *me*, of the shows that *I'm* watching at the moment, for pure burst-out-loud laughs, the only other show in WWDITS's class is HBO's Veep. And I have been kicking myself since the very first episode, for having not watched the movie this series is based on, when I could've watched it "free" on premium cable...Now of course, it's only available to "rent". But I digress :(
This show is a masterclass in comedic writing, acting, and creativity. And like Veep, it has a top-notch ensemble of actors who are perfectly cast. These talented actors perfectly deliver their lines and go about their "lives" with the perfect dead-pan mundanity, bickering, backbiting, squabbling and pettiness you'd normally expect from four close friends sharing a flat. One could almost describe it as a Vampire version of Seinfeld, perhaps starring "Seinfeldizar the Terrible"? Maybe? No? Ok.
And if that wasn't enough, amazingly, each episode has gotten better, culminating with this past week's episode, "The Trial". The perfection of this episode cannot be overstated. My attention never wandered for one second during the entire episode, because the episode was so jam-packed with cameos, clever references and sight gags, you had to pay attention so you didn't miss anything. And boy, there was one sight gag, that I must've replayed 10 times because it was so completely unexpected, and WTF(?!?)-inducing hilarious!
Anyway, suffice it to say, that I just don't see how they can top this episode, but I sure look forward to them trying.
Already looking forward to season 2.
