WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS
FX
FX
What We Do in the Shadows has always been a technically impressive show. The attention to details with the sets, costumes and special effects has always aided the show a lot. But I think the fifth season was the most technically impressive yet thanks to a bunch of extra things they did. I'm thinking specifically of the "Urgent Care" and especially the "Hybrid Creatures" episodes. It allowed the show to expand its world and be even more creative. The hybrid creatures were so outrageous and yet completely in line with what we know about the show. Couple that with the usual cleverness of the technical decisions and it's an overdue award for this show.
Thoughts on the Rest of the Nominees:
This is always a weird category in the Comedy field because technically impressive shows tend to go hand in hand with quality more for Drama and Limited/Anthology series whereas a comedy doesn't need to have any technical bells and whistles to be a great comedy. On the same token, some of the comedies on this list were not funny or good but were technically impressive. I'm looking at you Palm Royale and the second season of Julia. Didn't care for those seasons but the candy-coated 60s-era settings were fun to look at. Hacks and Only Murders in the Building continue to be two of the most impressive comedies who just always have the right look for the scene or episode in question. Girls5Eva had enough comedic visuals to make it on this list of nominees. Finally, The Righteous Gemstones continues to get bigger and bigger as a show with some really impressive technical flourishes throughout the season.
Tomorrow: Outstanding Guest Actor or Actress in a Limited/Anthology Series!
