#Van helsing season 2 finale series
And let’s not forget cheery-faced Colin (Mark Proksch), the energy vampire who still just hangs around and bores people until no end (“I’m not really sure what my deal is,” he shrugs this season, and while the show still can’t find much to do with him, that’s sort of the point).īut the shrewd casting extends well beyond the series regulars, and this time, the cameos offer real substance. His wife, Nadja (Natasia Demetriou, whose eye-rolling cynicism and vulgar asides provide a constant highlight) continues to deepen her feminine prowess, with a haunted doll and an awkward reunion with her elderly neighbor, whom Nadja used torture as a child. Bisexual raconteur Laszlo (Matt Berry) remains a fountain of overconfidence, which this time leads to an accidental brainwashing and the suggestion of a rather grotesque erotic encounter with the afterlife. Nandor continues to stumble through some ridiculous circumstances, none more endearing than when he struggles to access his email (“What is ‘arise’ again? Control-alt-seven?”). Of course, Guillermo can’t dominate the whole show. Guillermo’s quite handy with a stake, and his regular wide-eyed peeks at the camera as he keeps rediscovering his talent provides a promising start for positioning this season around his journey. There’s a lot of potential to upend the motives of a guy who was inspired by Latin vampire representation after seeing Antonio Banderas in “Interview With the Vampire.” Season 2 finds it.īy the first episode, Guillermo’s still struggling to hide his newfound talent from his overlords, covertly dispensing of various undead assassins from the vampire council creeping into the house after its residents accidentally killed their leader last season. As the Costello to Nandor’s Abbott - and sometimes the Pinky to his Brain - Guillén could have been reduced to a simple punchline, but he’s instead the most obvious access point for mortal viewers. The portly aide to loony ex-conquistador Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Guillermo spent much of the season hoping his ignorant master would reward his servant with eternal life, only to discover in time for the finale that he’s a descendant of vampire hunter Van Helsing, and might possess the same killer instincts. That’s Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), the lovable familiar and main scene-stealer in Season 1. ‘Barry’ Enters a Strange New World - and Can’t Shake the Old One
