Just a few quick words about the new FX show The Strain based on the novel of the same title.
Now I haven't been a big vampire fan (I was forced to watch Twilight and got hooked on those films) but the previews of a virus on a plane got me hooked enough to Google the show and novel, and do a bit of digging as well as purchasing the novel.
After seeing 3 episodes so far; The Strain is one show that I am quite enjoying and I think I continue to do so (unlike The Last Ship for example).
Why?
The acting is quite good, the writing sharp and effective and the vampires are very interesting (and frankly quite scary).
I'll do another post later describing more, but I would highly recommend it if you're a vampire fan- as well as if you're fan of drama/horror which makes you think, squirm and is slightly campy in a good way.
