Natasia Demetriou - Nadja, What We Do in the Shadows
What We Do in the Shadows is a comedy-fantasy series created by Jemaine Clement, based on his 2014 film of the same name co-directed with Taika Waititi. Set in Staten Island, New York, this false documentary follows the daily lives of four vampires, Nandor, Laszlo, Nadja and Colin Robinson, who have lived as roommates for hundreds of years, and one human, Guillermo. Poorly adapted to our times, they panic when their former Master returns from Europe with ambitions to conquer the New World.
Nadja d'Antipaxos is a 500-year-old vampire. She was born in Greece to a poor family in the 15th century, but it's not clear how she became a vampire, as she tells a completely different story from her husband, Laszlo. A leader and seductress, she is much more sensitive to other supernatural presences, unlike other vampires.
