What are we doing in the shadows There are some very interesting moments, but nothing is more interesting than seeing Nandor the Relentless trying to find love Season 3.
The vampire played by Kewan Nowak has been experiencing a “middle-age” crisis throughout the season, and he is eager to find someone with whom he can spend the rest of his life.

In the second episode named after the above cloak, Laszlo, Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) and even Nandor’s familiar Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) all put on a vampire disguise to help him woo the gym receptionist Meg (Lauren Collins).
As one might expect, the whole thing was disastrous for Nandor. Laszlo offended Meg, Colin Robinson bored her, and Guillermo confessed her feelings for vampires, making her think Nando was interested in seeking love elsewhere.
But what’s more interesting is that Novak has to imitate his co-star to do this, he admitted in an interview Weekly newspaper He even practiced Matt Berry’s voice in the shower to make it correct.
