Default 'THE STRAIN' (New 13-Episode Series on FX)

There's been 2 episodes on so far and I'm really enjoying it!
Here's the blurb from Wikpedia;

Quote:
The Strain is an American vampire horror–drama television series that premiered on FX on July 13, 2014. It was created by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, based on their novel trilogy of the same name. Del Toro and Hogan wrote the pilot episode, "Night Zero", which del Toro directed. A thirteen-episode first season was ordered on November 19, 2013.

Premise
A plane lands at John F. Kennedy International Airport with the lights off and doors sealed. Epidemiologist Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll) and his team are sent to investigate. On board they find two hundred corpses and four survivors. The situation deteriorates when the bodies begin disappearing from morgues. Goodweather and a small group of helpers find themselves battling to protect not only their own loved ones, but the entire city, from an ancient threat to humanity.
If this is your kind of show I'd recommend giving it a go! Thankfully it's not your average schmaltzy 'Vampire Diaries 90210' kinda' show.

Yep!
I think the poster was trying to give it an oldschool horror movie feel but it's not particularly representative of the show.
It's more ancient Vampire stuff, but not your average old two pointy incisors typa' vamps! We've only really seen one of the actual 'ancients' so far (don't know if there will be more ?) and he's around 8 or 9 foot tall and beastly as Hell!!!

It's quite high-budget stuff with great visuals and effects too.

I watched the pilot last night, thought it was brilliant. One of the best pilots I've seen for a long time. Really great story, acting and visual effects. I'm definitely going to keep up with this.

Great cast with Corey Stoll and David Bradley too

Definitely!
If it carries on like it's been so far i can see it getting a second season easily.

The little french girl from the plane in the second episode is awesome!

So this is not Pornographic adult like True Blood? Nor too childishly silly like Buffy The Vampire Slayer or TVD?

Anyone still watching?

I still am but finding some characters annoying now, that Ansel's wife annoys me just the way she acts then the female cdc doctor (Nora I think) she was doing my head in a bit last night screaming what are you doing etc when the old guy killed the girl and her dad, um you were just attacked before with one of these creatures you knew what they were fgs.

On another note does Ansel remind anyone of Steve Buscemi? the way he speaks really sounds like him imo.
