The Strain (2014–2017)
7/10
Great watch if you don't nit-pick too hard

Yes, it has its flaws. It's full of plot holes and annoying over-used tropes. Yes, the kid character is incredibly annoying but I guess he drives the plot forward. Yes, the actor playing the kid is terrible and only has two emotions: Squinting with his mouth closed and squinting with his mouth open. Yes, in classic horror movie fashion everybody takes horrible decisions, they don't make sure their mortal enemy is actually dead, they go on silly speeches before going for the kill, allowing the antagonist to escape.

But overall, it was pretty enjoyable and different.

Great acting, apart from the kid.

7/10.
