The final season launched with the series' lowest Rotten Tomatoes critical approval rate to date and saw it drop below the 90% line. All five previous seasons have yielded an above 94% critical approval rate, with seasons 3 and 4 having 100% positive critical reviews. What We Do in the Shadows season 6 has only an 87% approval rate among 15 critical reviews at the time of writing. Despite the drop from the previous seasons, this would still qualify the season as "fresh." So far, there's not enough data from the audience side.

Our Take on What We Do In The Shadows Season 6 Rotten Tomatoes Score
Too Early To Say
The series' audience scores also don't tend to behave in the same way as critical scores. Despite season 3 and 4 being the most critical approved seasons, both seasons saw a drop in the audience approval rates, with season 4 having the lowest score to date (89%). Season 6's low Rotten Tomatoes score doesn't necessarily mean that the audience wouldn't like it. There's a very high chance that the final season might have a higher audience approval rate.

Despite what critics are saying, What We Do in the Shadows season 6 is a mix of nostalgia and new adventure. It also marks the return of Jerry the Vampire, who has been sleeping in a coffin because his other vampire friends forgot to wake him up. With season 6 being the last season, there's a very uncomfortable, outdated feeling, especially with Jerry's return, working on creating a monster and conquering the world. It makes sense that some might not like how the season is bringing the series to an end.
