Did Nandor really pull a drake "she said she a lesbian, I said me too"?

Anyway this show is great, and I like all the little threads we're seeing this season, with vampiric council and those who disagree with it, as well as that whole "first vampire" tease. Overall a good idea to give these guys a job in a workplace with a bunch of weird trinkets rather than just keep them in the house for another season.

Warning: Spoilers
Way too over the top, yet that was the appeal of it. The duplication and impressions were amusing and it just highlighted the hilarity through absurdity this program brings us.

Be Careful, It's My Heart!
Hitchcoc8 September 2022
The vampire council heads to Queens to accost some young vampires who aren't paying their dues. They have dues?? When they get there they get a bunch of these kids lipping off to them and denying their authority. Nandor puts up with this because he doesn't want to cause a rift between two vampire entities. We are introduced to the Cloak of Duplication. When one puts it on they can become anyone they want (only physically, however). Nandor has taken a shine to the young woman who runs a health club, but he is shy so he sends his friends there to approach her. This leads to several efforts, leading to failure.

Kayvan Novak's acting makes this episode
hunterhart15 September 2021
Never seen Kayvan Novak in anything until this show, and this episode displays not only his near perfect impressions of his castmates characters, but also what a great and funny actor he is. Funny as always I love this show.

The Many Shades of Nandor
daveypnot6 September 2021
From the teaser sequence through the last scene, great writing, spot-on acting and perfect pacing. That signature "unreal-reality" comedic energy that the show has been so well known for during the past two seasons comes through in high fidelity. Special note though of Kayvan Novak's performance. No spoiling it- you just need to see the episode for yourself.

Kayvan Novak is so good in this episode in particular that it really makes me appreciate him as an actor. What a fantastic job. He's great in every episode but this one really showcased his abilities. Bravo.

Hilarious Episode
pontram18 September 2021
This episode is just outstanding, from Christen Schaals' Guide to the Vampire Councils' lair, the many interpretations of Nandor, to the gruesome behaviour of Nadia.

Wonderful writing and acting here.

I hold that show dearly to my heart, like a modern version of 'The Munsters' (Grandpa Dracula was my favorite, and of course beautiful Lily) comedy which elated me in my youth (in English with German subtitles), and so does this comedy 45 years later in the same manner.

The ensemble shows a great harmony and dedication to the show and I hope that there will be countless more episodes in the future.
