That’s the one I saw. They apparently broadcast it three times in a row with a different perfect ending each time. The two others can be seen in the extra tabs on Hulu. ---

Cool, nice to have a bit more WWDITS content to watch in the extras (I saw the Newhart version). Maybe while I’m at it, I’ll watch the intro one more time. That intro with the song is one of the very, _ **very** _ few (maybe the only?) show intros I’ve never gotten sick of and skipped over in the on-demand streaming era. ---

> [@alphaboi867](#): > > Is it weird that Nandor and Guillermo in bed together really was the most satisfying ending I could think of? 😅 No, because the _Newhart_-style ending is objectively the best way to cap off a series finale. ---

But I wonder how many watched it and were baffled by it. [https://www.reddit.com/r/WhatWeDointheShadows/comments/1hgoy64/was\_i\_too\_young\_to\_watch\_this\_show\_or\_is\_it/](https://www.reddit.com/r/WhatWeDointheShadows/comments/1hgoy64/was_i_too_young_to_watch_this_show_or_is_it/) ---

Heheh, I disagree. The Usual Suspects ending was the best. My wife’s heart was truly warmed by the Newhart ending, though. I had read that was one of them, but didn’t tell her. ---

Just watched the finale (and alt hypnosis endings). I was worried it that it was just going to be post-modern self-referential stuff about coming up with an ending, but then there was an actual, natural-feeling denouement and I felt better. ---

One thing I thought was odd about the hypnosis endings, though, was that 2 out of the 3 were _ **movie** _ endings, not series endings. Surely they could have come up with other famous (or infamous) _series_ endings to spoof… They all end up in vampire jail? They find out Staten Island has mysterious secrets and a glowing golden center, and they all end up in nondenominational purgatory? ---

All three endings are on YouTube. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/EC-zRHygEUU/maxresdefault.jpg "What We Do in the Shadows Endings") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC-zRHygEUU) ---

I thought about a Sopranos-style non-ending. ---

> [@Fair\_Rarity](#): > > i found the finale to be a lot like the rest of this season: not unwatchable, but not GREAT. A few good bits here and there, but just missing something. Agreed. I kept waiting for ‘something’ more to happen…like they handwaved the evil firm Guillermo was working for as working with Asian markets to explain why they were working at night…and that was it…I expected there to be reveal that they were also vampires–like no matter what he did he always ended up working for vampires. It seemed like a season of half-ideas and missed connections. Like…Jerry who wants to take over North America…and then its brought up twice? Before he’s killed by Cravensworth’s Monster… Like why does Nando suddenly like the Guide? And it never actually pays off. (an aside–what was it season 4? where she was nearly a regular who clearly saw herself as a member of the core group but no one selse saw her that way) Or the penultimate episode ends with a gag of Nadja having torn the head off the girl from work…and the finale opening with the idea that they need a head for the monster’s bride… I did like the scene of them watching the pilot and you could see how different everyone looked then and how skinny Matt Berry and Natasia Demetriou were. ---

> [@Push\_You\_Down](#): > > I expected there to be reveal that they were also vampires–like no matter what he did he always ended up working for vampires. I liked it better that they weren’t vampires. When Guillermo realized he was in almost the same exact situation for his human businessman boss that he was for his old vampire boss was a great sense of irony. Particularly the idea that if he was patient and waited long enough, he’d eventually be more than a toady. When he quit and decided to be his own person, it showed that he really grew as a character. Yeah it wasn’t until the end of the series itself, but looking back it seems like he was the main protagonist all along. (I know he ended up going back with Nandor but it was as a partner rather than servant, even if Nandor kept weirdly insisting on them being real life Batman and Robin, making Guillermo the sidekick.) ---

I had noticed how…um…solid Natasia Demetriou was during season six but didn’t remember if she had always been like that and I hadn’t noticed earlier.
