Private School (What We Do in the Shadows)

"Private School" is the fifth episode of the fourth season of the American mockumentary comedy horror television series What We Do in the Shadows, set in the franchise of the same name.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.339 million household viewers and gained a 0.11 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.

Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) suggests sending him to school to get a proper education and to hang out with kids of his age, but Laszlo (Matt Berry) disapproves.

Guillermo suggests simply using their powers to compel Warren into accepting Baby Colin, but Nadja declares that they are way too invested to go back.

Guillermo admits to the documentary crew that he is embezzling money from Nadja's nightclub to bribe the counselor, as well as buying himself some expensive products and a new apartment for his mother.

Baby Colin is not accepted at the private school, as Warren died of a stroke due to being put through 428 hypnoses used on him during the interview.

Instead, they enroll Baby Colin in all the community sports league in that area, tiring him to the point that he can now sleep at the house and not annoy the vampires.

What I wasn't prepared for, then, was the scene that kicked off after the first commercial break tonight, the one that makes up the bulk of the episode's runtime: an increasingly ludicrous school admissions interview with a straight-laced headmaster, which might be the single funniest and most chaotic sequence that this show has ever produced.

"[5] Katie Rife of Vulture gave the episode a perfect 5 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "It's a wonderful showcase for the cast’s talents, which I’ve always felt shine the brightest when the entire ensemble is onscreen together.

"[7] Melody McCune of Telltale TV gave the episode a perfect 5 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "Overall, 'Private School' is a show-best for What We Do in the Shadows.

Hats off to writers Ayo Edebiri and Shana Gohd for penning a brilliant script and Kyle Newacheck for the stellar direction.
