What We Do In The Shadows Evie

Okay, picture this: you're a centuries-old vampire, immortal, and totally out of touch. Sounds like a blast, right? Well, not always. Especially when dealing with...technology.

Enter Evie Russell: The Unsung Hero of Staten Island

Now, most of us know Nandor the Relentless as a fearsome warrior of the Ottoman Empire (allegedly!). But in the FX series "What We Do In The Shadows," he's more of a grumpy, lovable goofball. He has a problem, though. He's technologically challenged. That's where Evie Russell comes in, as played by Paula Leggett Chase.

Evie starts as Nandor's daytime familiar. She's a regular human just trying to make a living. But her real talent? She understands how to use the internet, which immediately makes her a superhero in the eyes of a very confused vampire.

More Than Just Tech Support

Let's be honest, being a familiar for a vampire seems... demanding. Evie certainly deals with her share of weird requests. From ordering obscure items online to deciphering baffling technological issues, Evie's patience is truly commendable.

She isn't just a glorified Google search, though. Evie quickly becomes Nandor's confidante and even, dare we say, his friend. She listens to his endless tales of conquest (which are probably embellished) and offers surprisingly sound advice.

This friendship is even more remarkable given the power imbalance. Nandor, being a vampire, is inherently more powerful. But Evie isn't intimidated; she treats him like a somewhat eccentric, but ultimately harmless, employer.

A Human Touch in a World of Darkness

What makes Evie so great is her normalcy. Surrounded by the bizarre antics of vampires, werewolves, and ghosts, she's a breath of fresh air. She grounds the show with her relatable struggles and her dry wit.

Her relationship with Nandor is surprisingly heartwarming. It shows that even across centuries and species, genuine connection is possible. Who knew a vampire and his human familiar could form such a bond?

Evie eventually leaves the house after developing her own form of mind control. A skill she learned, not from Nandor, but by listening to self-help audiobooks!

Evie's Lasting Impact

Even after she leaves, Evie's presence is felt. She helped Nandor navigate the modern world. It's a testament to her character that she managed to make a difference in the lives of these ancient creatures.

So, next time you watch "What We Do In The Shadows," remember Evie Russell. She's proof that sometimes, the greatest heroes aren't the ones with superpowers, but the ones who know how to work the Wi-Fi password.

Without Evie, the vampires would probably still be trying to understand what a "meme" is. And frankly, that's a world no one wants to live in.
