You Want Closure? What We Do in the Shadows Will Give You Closure.
The series finale deploys an array of endings that highlights the folly of seeking a closing beat for immortal creatures.
This ultimate go-round, meanwhile, has mostly prioritized goofs over growth, with a number of late-season-sitcom tropes — a new character in forgotten vampire roommate Jerry (Mike O’Brien); a new workplace for Guillermo, Nadja, and Nandor in finance company Cannon Capital Strategies; a new science project for Laszlo and Colin in the Monster (Andy Assaf) — and a return to certain episode structures that have worked for the series before. But with hindsight provided by “The Finale,” that approach feels incredibly self-aware, as though WWDITS was purposefully building to an ending that acknowledges that it’s hard to find a closing beat for immortal creatures who can sleep for decades and spend weeks in a “Yes, yes, very well, thank you!” fugue state while deciding how to reorganize their book collection. Nadja, with her typical bitchy flair, hypnotizes all viewers to provide “the most perfect ending you could possibly imagine with your simple little human minds,” which turns out to be a nearly beat-for-beat Usual Suspects– style conclusion with a series-spanning montage of greatest-hits scenes and Colin Robinson serving as Keyser Söze.
