The Strain (FX)

[magogian]

Who else caught the first episode?

Seems interesting but somewhat generic so far. I'll keep watching for now, but I'm not sure the show has staying power.

Whats it about?

I watched it. It was ok-- definitely nothing to write home about. I'll keep watching for a little while, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Having to look at the wig that the main character wears may be enough on its own to quit watching.

 

[johnnycando]

It's really catching steam.

I really liked it.

I'm looking forward to the next episode.

 

[woolybug25]

I watched the first episode and wasn't impressed. Is this really worth sticking through another episode?

Do you want an answer before another episode has aired?

 

[irishog77]

But seriously, I think I'll give it one or two more. See how it goes.

Ha! I watch everything on demand. I thought Cando's comment re: "catching steam" meant that another episode aired.

I don't know. There are a lot of shows i'm into right now. If I have to choose one of the new ones, then I am going to continue with "The Leftovers". I'm digging on that one. The Strain seems a little too contrived for my taste. Plus... I think I have had my fill with vampire dramas.

 

[Henges24]

I've really been impressed with the shows that FX has came out with recently. Like Tyrant and The Bridge. The Bridge is excellent. I highly recommend it if you enjoyed Breaking Bad. A little similar but not AS good. Just has the same feel to it, honestly. I'll be giving this one a chance this weekend since I have nothing better to do...fvcking Mississippi.

Tyrant is the shit. Im digging that one too!

It's alright. I really like the story line. It really gives it a lot of potential to have some crazy shit during the series. It's been a little slow since the first episode but I think it's going to start picking up, based on next week's preview.

The strain has nothing to do with vampires amigo.

I'm certain it has everything to do with worms.

But the premise isn't what caught me. It's the plot that has me hooked.

Damn Germans.

"The Leftovers" is ridiculous. I tried like hell, watching the first two episodes. They would have had me of they had stuck to what we could contrive to be the "Rapture" doctrine.

But the innocent remaining blew that out of the water. And there is no clue as to why yet and I feel it's developing way to slo0o0ow.

Vampire worms! The worst of the worm empire.

I think the fact that there are discrepencies in the biblical rapture is part of the storyline. Hence the last episode where it revolved entirely around the priest.

It's a "thinking drama"... so you know... jk

I love The Bridge. I'm still pissed at FX for canceling Terriers though. I like Tyrant, but don't love it. I thought Fargo was excellent. And of course, The League.

Lmao!

Thinking in the form of a weird occult that dresses in white, risky teenage behavior, and a random congregation of dogs packing up to kill deer.

What am I missing for a hook? What's the plot revelation? Pardon the reference lol.

no, it is vampires, but the worms tie in. The book series that the tv series is based on is quite good, I enjoyed it. It's written by Chuck Hogan (author of The Town, excellent book and movie btw) and Guillermo del Toro if I remember correctly.

You know, it’s a think piece about a midlevel cult struggling with their own limitations in the harsh face of stardom.

Did you wet yourself?

 

[johnnycando]

You guys that gave up, are really missing out.

Amazing plot and development tonight.

It's had me hooked this season.

[gkIrish]

Finally caught up on all the episodes. Great show.

 

[ShawneeIrish]

Most recent episode if the best so far. I was not sure about this show at first but lately have been really enjoying it.

 

[johnnycando]

Honestly.

Can not wait until the next episode.

 

[gkIrish]

This season has been a letdown. I don't know how many more times I can watch the main character get black out drunk.

 

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Looking over 1st page, I actually thought the 2hr pilot was great. Had movie quality feel and look, its just been a scattered mess since. I watch still cuz its diff and I'm a loser that basically watches everything on tv.
