Carmilla Season 3

Carmilla Season 3 has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available. Across 1 season, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. An 8/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Elise Bauman is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

Carmilla Season 3 is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Carmilla Season 3 from the crowd. Following the dramatic events of the Season II finale, Laura and Carmilla are stuck in the basement of the ominous Library of Silas University. Of course, the only logical thing to do is to have a Hollstein movie night. How convenient that Laura literally happens to fall upon some old VHS tapes that might reveal some mysterious crime - Laura's curiosity gets the best of her and they're going back into the ancient year of 2012. Elise Bauman and Natasha Negovanlis lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2015. What keeps Carmilla Season 3 from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

Carmilla Season 3 is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Elise Bauman anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
