Review of The Strain

The Strain (2014–2017)
8/10
[7.6] Worth watching for Richard Sammel performance alone
3 November 2023
A superb drama, fantasy, horror series by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan. I loved its uncompromising vibe and atmosphere, its "gruesome" screenplay, its near outstanding development and to some great extents its acting, besides Corey Stoll and Max charles who nearly undermined the series flow, especially in the last season.

One of the few series that truly combines horrific screenplay, storyline plots and gripping visual effects since the first episode.

Highly recommended and one of Guillermo del Toro's brightest and finest works.
