What We Do in the Shadows
Love mockumentary-style sitcoms and vampire shows? Then we’ve got the perfect series for you (insert sinister vampire laugh here).

True Blood
In the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, humans and vampires can coexist in harmony — but just because they can, doesn’t mean they do. True Blood follows a telepathic waitress, Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), whose life completely changes when she meets Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a southern gentleman who also happens to be a (synthetic) blood-sucking vampire.
All seven seasons of the hit HBO drama series are available to stream now on Hulu.
