Last week, What We Do in the Shadows returned for its second season on FX (and now Hulu as well), and I was quickly reminded of why I absolutely love this hilarious show. As the season opened, Guillermo was secretly defending the others from vampire assassins that were constantly descending upon the house. The vampires didn’t even know they were under attack and continued to look down on Guillermo and take him for granted. This was even more evident when Laszlo and Nadja would constantly express their love and admiration for their latest familiar, Topher (Haley Joel Osment), who would act perfect in front of the vampires but reveal his true lazy Bro self to Guillermo. When Topher was accidentally electrocuted, the vampires had him revived by an underqualified necromancer, who ended up turning him into a bloodthirsty zombie, whom they eventually had to kill (again).

In last week’s second episode, after holding a seance, Nadja found herself haunted by the ghost of Jeff (the reincarnation of Gregor). When she tried to fix things with a second seance, the situation just got worse – all three vampires found themselves face-to-ghostly face with their own spectral doppelgangers, each looking to complete some unfinished business. Nadja and hers got along like (doppel)gangbusters, quickly becoming like old girlfriends. Unfortunately for Nandor, it had been so long since he died that he had forgotten his native language, and so he had trouble communicating with his doppelganger. However, Laszlo had the most awkward of situations – his doppelganger revealed that his unfinished business was that he never “finished” when Nadja killed him during sex, and so he wanted Laszlo to give him the “happy ending” he never got. While the others eventually said goodbye to their doppelgangers, Nadja’s stuck around, inhabiting a creepy Annabelle-like doll. So we’ll likely see her again this season.

This show is so much fun and always has me laughing throughout. I can’t wait to see what this group gets up to in tonight’s new episode.

On tonight’s episode, “Brain Scramblies,” the vampires attend their first human Super Bowl party, while Guillermo’s search for virgins uncovers a deadly threat.

Don’t miss the fun tonight on FX or Hulu at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Goldbergs, Schooled, American Housewife, Single Parents, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Survivor, The Masked Singer, Dave, and It’s Personal With Amy Hoggart.

Jenny’s Choice #1

It’s taking some time for me to fully like all the characters on the new Whiskey Cavalier. I go back and forth on most of them, depending on the episode. Like last week, I got almost as irritated with Standish as Jai did. He was being pretty disrespectful, having all his trash and crap lying around in other people’s space. I’m no neat freak, but dang. Then again, Standish did well getting the guard to take in the champagne to the bad guy (or rather, the bad guy’s body double. LOL). So it was a tossup. I also got really irritated with Frankie for her crappy attitude toward Will, and going off and kissing the groomsman and then her line about it being the American way for all couples to cheat really ticked me off. I did love the fight in the locker room with the woman from Will’s past! LOL But overall, I’m still enjoying the show, and I think they’re just going to grow and gel as a cast, which will make it even better.

On tonight’s episode, “The English Job,” while investigating suspicious robberies in London, Will hits it off with a sexy British spy, leaving Frankie with some unexpected feelings that she doesn’t know how to process. Meanwhile, Jai competes with Susan over who is more intelligent, and Standish deals with a case of shell shock. Ophelia Lovibond (Elementary) guest stars.

See how Frankie handles her feelings tonight on ABC at 10/9c.
