The Cloak of Duplication

The 3 actors are really funny that what really brings you in. Kayvan for the way he complains , Matt for the way he pronounces things. Really funny ep.

This episode is just outstanding, from Christen Schaals' Guide to the Vampire Councils' lair, the many interpretations of Nandor, to the gruesome behaviour of Nadia.

Wonderful writing and acting here.

I hold that show dearly to my heart, like a modern version of 'The Munsters' (Grandpa Dracula was my favorite, and of course beautiful Lily) comedy which elated me in my youth (in English with German subtitles), and so does this comedy 45 years later in the same manner.

The ensemble shows a great harmony and dedication to the show and I hope that there will be countless more episodes in the future.

From the teaser sequence through the last scene, great writing, spot-on acting and perfect pacing. That signature "unreal-reality" comedic energy that the show has been so well known for during the past two seasons comes through in high fidelity. Special note though of Kayvan Novak's performance. No spoiling it- you just need to see the episode for yourself.

The vampire council heads to Queens to accost some young vampires who aren't paying their dues. They have dues?? When they get there they get a bunch of these kids lipping off to them and denying their authority. Nandor puts up with this because he doesn't want to cause a rift between two vampire entities. We are introduced to the Cloak of Duplication. When one puts it on they can become anyone they want (only physically, however). Nandor has taken a shine to the young woman who runs a health club, but he is shy so he sends his friends there to approach her. This leads to several efforts, leading to failure.

Kayvan Novak is so good in this episode in particular that it really makes me appreciate him as an actor. What a fantastic job. He's great in every episode but this one really showcased his abilities. Bravo.
