It might not be spooky season, but we're talking vampires anyway as we return to What We Do In The Shadows, season 1. BAT!

We get into Matt Berry's AMAZING performance. The relationship between Nandor and Guillermo. The absolutely spot-on cameos of the vampires who make up the Vampire Council. And also the fact that these aren't regular vampires. These guys are just fucking idiots.

Colin is interesting. The whole energy vampire thing in general is fascinating but we do wish they had saved the reveal that he has actual supernatural abilities for later in the season. It would have worked a bit better if we were unsure if he was a vampire for real or just the world's most boring man.

There's also a short sidetrack into talking about the film Vamps.

And speaking of Krysten Ritter, next month we revisit the superhero genre with the first season of Jessica Jones.

It's time to head into the jungle to search for two missing kids as we discuss the Peacock (not Amazon Prime) original series, The Resort. There's love! Adventure! Mystery! What more could a girl want?

While we disagree a little on how well the plot of the show works, we do agree that the acting is all around fantastic. It's very clear from the get-go who all of the characters are and what their relationships are like.

This show does an excellent job of showing the different ways people process grief and loss.

But what was Alex's deal? Was he really Alejandro or just losing his mind?

Next month, it's a vampire reality show. That's right! We're (re)watching season 1 of What We Do in the Shadows.

This month, we revisit season 1 of the Tom Hiddleston-led spy drama The Night Manager.

Overall, we really like this series. The casting is amazing, and it is a very interesting story. However, we would have liked to have seen more of the training Jonathan Pine went through and how his relationship with Angela Burr developed.

Speaking of, his relationships with the women in the show and how he seduces pretty much all of them was sometimes a bit much. Some of it could have worked better if it had been clearer how much time had passed between certain scenes.

Next month, a couple trying to rekindle their romance winds up embroiled in a decades-long mystery at The Resort.

It's a romance with a Hot Priest this month as we discuss season 2 of Fleabag. And we have a special guest as our good friend Karen finally joins us for a conversation.

Everything about this show is simply fantastic. The writing, the acting, the casting, it's all top-notch.

The aggressive moisturizing the therapist does because she has dry forearms is so weird. Because dry elbows? Sure. But forearms? And yet, we still love it.

We talk about doomed romances from our past, the chemistry between Fleabag and Hot Priest, and if it matters that some characters don't have names.

Up next, it's Tom Hiddleston doing spy shit as we will be watching season 1 of The Night Manager, available on Amazon Prime.

This month, we visit a world where people have superpowers as we discuss Hulu's Extraordinary. We mostly talk season 1 but we do get into season 2 a little bit.

It's really fun to see all the powers people have. They really run the gamut from the expected of people who can fly or teleport to a guy who has a 3D printer ass.

It's such a fun and quirky show in that great British comedy vein. Kash might actually have one of the most interesting powers with his ability to turn back time and the lesson he finally learns at the end of season 2 is quite profound.

Rachael shares her top 5 Jizzlord quotes because the way that man delivers those lines is just gold. Jizzlord really is our favorite.

Of course, we discuss what superpowers we would want to have.

Up next, we will be watching season 2 of Fleabag, available on Amazon Prime.

Strap in, folks. This is our longest episode to date because there is A LOT to talk about with season 2 of Interview with the Vampire.

Unfortunately, Rachael had a hard time getting into this season because the actors were just not pretty enough. /sarcasm Though, it did honestly take Evelyn a few episodes to really get into it.

The only complaint any of us have is that Evelyn had a hard time connecting with the actors a bit because of the contact lenses. But overall, the series really is wonderful.

The Claudia and Madeleine relationship might be one of the most tragic things in the show. Armand continues to be so fascinating because of this dichotomy of a vampire who has so much power but acts so powerless.

Up next, we will be watching season 1 (and maybe season 2) of the Hulu original series Extraordinary.

How would you survive if you had to live in a bunker? Find out as we discuss Season 1 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. We're gonna be honest, this conversation wanders a little bit but we still have fun!

This show is just so fun and happy, which is a little odd considering the rather serious subject matter.

We love how all of the characters are written. Especially Kimmy. It would be very easy to make her just an idiot. But while she's naive, she is not stupid.

The one thing we do wonder about is Jane Krakowski's character being written as a Native American. We're sure there's a reason for it, but that storyline may not have aged as well as some of the others.

Why isn't Ellie Kemper in more things? As the lead? She's amazing and we love her.

Next month, it's spooky season so we're heading back to the world of Anne Rice and watching Season 2 of Interview with the Vampire! It's available on Netflix as of September 30th, but is currently available on Hoopla. (Support your local library!!)

Whodunnit?? This month, we podcast about a show that's about a podcast as we discuss Season 1 of Only Murders in the Building.

Rachael and Evelyn really like this show. For Kerri, it was just okay. She would have preferred to be let in on what was actually going on earlier, and then watching the team figure it out would still have been engaging.

We do like the relationship between Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. They are a lot of fun together.

Jane Lynch being Steve Martin's stunt double might be one of the best things that happened on this show.

Up next, we head back over to Netflix as we watch Season 1 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
