The portrait of Nadja uses Courbet's painting as its basis. Laszlo's portrait on the left is apparently an original created by the design team to match Nadja's, but it is very evocative of portraits of gentlemen in the mid-1800s. Juan Pantoja de la Cruz, Portrait of Diego de Villamayor, c. 1605.
Set in Staten Island, What We Do in the Shadows follows the lives of three traditional vampires, Nandor, Laszlo, and Nadja; Colin Robinson, an energy vampire; and Guillermo, Nandor's familiar. The series revolves around the centuries-old vampires interacting with the modern world and other supernatural beings.

Jenna began experiencing the heavy illness which accompanies the transformation, becoming pale and projectile vomiting. At one point she appeared physically dead, leading to Shanice calling an ambulance, though when paramedics tried to transport her apparent corpse off-campus, she woke up and rushed back indoors.
You can't go wrong with Benedict Wong as a two-bit necromancer and Haley Joel Osment as Nadja and Laszlo's obnoxious, privileged new familiar who annoys Guillermo to no end.
The only downside to What We Do in the Shadows is that it is currently not available on Netflix. Since FX and Hulu currently have an agreement in place, it is unlikely that these likable characters will make their Netflix debut anytime soon.
The third season of FX's hit vampire sitcom What We Do in the Shadows kicks off on September 2, and the show's simply too funny to miss.
Currently you are able to watch "What We Do in the Shadows - Season 2" streaming on Hulu or buy it as download on Apple iTunes, Google Play Movies, Vudu, Amazon Video.
"Nandor the Relentless," played by Kayvan Novak, is a fierce Ottoman warrior once known for pillaging villages and turning the Euphrates red with blood, but not so much for stealing hearts. Although he once had 37 wives and has over 200,000 direct living descendants, Nandor feels like his life is missing something.
It's mostly intended to be funny, but there's still a lot of blood and gore, including a spurting jugular vein and huge bloody messes, as well as fighting and some scary images.
