I finally got to see the first season of What We Do in the Shadows since it showed up on Hulu. It's based on the 2014 film of the same name (my favorite film of that year), which was written and directed by Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok). The show is *almost* as good as the movie. It's a little looser and a bit more broad, but I still watched it all in one sitting.

I know it is what is considered a "chick flick". But I love this show so much lol.
It started by just watching it because I liked Piper Chapman (I think she's nice) but now I like all of the characters. Or many of them anyway. I hate a few.

Anyone else love this show? :)

I hate the use of "chick flick" as a derogatory. If something is good, it's good! Regardless if it is made for kids, adults, men, women, etc...
That said, in the early seasons of Orange is the New Black there was nothing quite like it, or quite as good on TV. It was phenomenal. Like most shows it does have its ups and downs, but I feel like it managed to finish strong. There are some characters that remain kind of bland and boring, and some that do shift and change over time. Not a spoiler, because its personal opinion, but I hated Piper by the end, but that mostly came from a place that was because almost all of the other characters (except 1 or 2) were far more interesting.
I just finished watching the second season of Mindhunter. While its still an exceptionally well made show, there is a turn halfway through the season that feels like it changes the what the entire show is about. The focus and priorities shift, and while I know it is generally a true story and this did happen, the previous focus of the show is what I was far more interested in.

I agree :). I'm still pretty late to the party which is awesome because I get to binge it all in one go. It's always funner that way imo instead of waiting months for the next season.
I agree that even early on, Piper has already started to wear off in terms of complexity and her plot is getting a tad more bland. I assume she'll pick up again in terms of depth because she's a main focal point but red seems to be taking over.
So far my top 10 favorite characters are
1. Piper (for now she's still my favorite. It might be mostly because she's relatable personality wise but I also loved her plot line regarding Larry. The other inmates are very hardened. I'd definitely sit at the Yoga Lady and Pipers table lol)
2. Pennsatucky (Pennsatucky really is the most fun side character to watch. And she's very underrated. Her plot is great and she's funny.)
3. Poussey (Poussey has a lot of depth and is my favorite of their group. She has loyalty. )
4. Fisher (I love Fisher, I'm far enough to know key plot point regarding her but I won't spoil it. But she is great)
5. Spanish Leader (I forget her name, but she's smart and strong.)
6. Mr. Healey (The only cop guy that I like, He has a good heart but personal problems make him mean at times)
7. The New York Stalker girl.
8. The Blonde Heroine girl (Forget her name too but she's cool)
9. Red - (Red is a focal point character and she adds a tough element to the show. But I didn't like her early on)
10. The Transgender girl (I forget her name but her plot regarding her son is pretty interesting. And shes cool)
I hate soso. Literally loathe her. I hate people that are like her in real life. I loathe most of the Diaz Family for their actions. And I hate Alex Vause with every viber of my being and hope she gets beat with a lock sock soon. :)
It really is a great show. I love it and purchased the funko pops of the characters.
masamune:
I'm currently re-watching Family Matters on Hulu starting from Season 1.
I haven't seen this show since the 90s and it brings back a lot of nostalgia for me.
