Evie What We Do In The Shadows

Evie: The Most Relatable Vampire (Hear Me Out!)

Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking. Evie? From What We Do In The Shadows? But stick with me here.

We all love Nandor, Laszlo, Nadja, and even Colin Robinson. But there's something secretly amazing about Evie.

She's Just...Trying Her Best

Evie, played by the brilliant Vanessa Bayer, is a human friend of Nandor's. She's a volunteer at the local animal shelter.

And honestly? She's a bit of a mess, just like the rest of us. Always trying to be helpful but constantly failing upward.

She tries so hard to be a good friend. Even when Nandor's requests are, shall we say, unusual.

The Energy Vampire Antidote

Let's be real. Colin Robinson is hilarious. But he also embodies every draining coworker we've ever had.

Evie accidentally discovers she's like a Supercharger for him! He feeds off her good intentions and positivity.

But here's the genius: she's not malicious. She wants to help! It's a testament to her character, no?

Unpopular Opinion: Evie's Naiveté is Charming

Some people find her cluelessness annoying. I get it.

But isn't it refreshing? She's genuinely kind, even in the face of, well, vampires.

She's not cynical or jaded. In a world of darkness and bloodsucking, she's a ray of awkward sunshine.

She Embraces the Weird

Think about it. She's hanging out with actual vampires. And she doesn't run screaming. Well, not all the time.

She accepts their quirks, their eccentricities, their...bloodlust.

That takes a special kind of person! Or maybe just someone who's really bad at reading social cues. Either way, its great.

Evie's the Everyman (or Everywoman)

The main vampires are centuries old, powerful beings. They are completely detached from modern reality.

Evie represents the normal, relatable human experience. She struggles with work, relationships, and, yes, accidentally empowering energy vampires.

We see ourselves in her awkwardness, her kindness, and her sheer bewilderment.

The Ultimate Test: The Wedding

Remember Nandor's disastrous wedding? Evie was right there in the thick of it.

Awkwardly giving a toast, trying to be supportive. She tries to connect with all the ex-wives. Good intentions gone awry is the best kind of comedy.

It's a cringeworthy, hilarious masterclass in being a well-meaning disaster.

She Deserves More Screen Time

Seriously. Give Evie her own spin-off! Or at least a dedicated episode.

I want to see her navigating the animal shelter. I want to see her accidentally starting a cult of energy vampires. The Possibilities are endless.

More Evie is always a good thing. It just is. We need her in our lives.

So, Let's Appreciate Evie!

Next time you're watching What We Do In The Shadows, take a moment to appreciate Evie.

She's not a glamorous vampire. She's not a powerful wizard. She's just Evie.

And that's why she's secretly the best character. Don't @ me. Evie is the MVP! This show is amazing, but Evie makes it a masterpiece.

Now if you excuse me, I am going to volunteer at the animal shelter. Maybe I will run into her!
