New vampire show by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan, based on their own books. I think it’s been on in the US about 5 weeks or son, on FX, maybe Sunday nights? I’ve always been a big fan of Del Toro, and was interested in reading the books, but never got round to it. Now the show’s on, so i’m watching it instead.
Anyway, i highly recommend it, has anyone seen it? It’s basically about a plot to spread vampirism to New York from somewhere in Europe, the first episode starts with a jet landing in NY, but all the crew and passengers are seemingly dead. A specialist biological-whatever-team is called in to investigate and it kinda moves on from there. I don’t want to give anything away, so i can’t even say much about it, apart from that if you don’t require immediate slam-bang action at all times, it’s a great show. Would probably suit watching a few back to back, but i’ve been watching it weekly and am always left wanting to see more.
Has anyone else seen it yet, and if so, what did you think?
I was excited when I heard Del Toro was doing a new show…but then I found out it involved vampires and I was a bit deflated…the whole vampire genre just seems so played outso I didn’t investigate further…but your description is selling me on it…I will check out an episode tonight…it should be on On Demand…
The only other shows I’m currently watching are The Leftovers and Ray Donovan…both of which I like quite a bit…aside from that just waiting for the final season of Sons of Anarchy and Boardwalk Empire…
I downloaded them, get them free!! I really like it anyway, i have to check out Ray Donovan, my friend gave me a lend of series 1 and i have True Detective here to watch as well. I hear great things about it. Hope you enjoy The Strain, i rarely bother with tv stuff, 24, Justified and The Wire were big ones for me, but this is great. It is very slow, i have to warn you, but if you can even get a couple of episodes done in one sitting it’s well worth your time.
The poster’s fucked up.
I’m actually reading Book 3 of the trilogy the TV show is based on right now. It kinda sucks. In fact, the whole series (which started off strong) kinda sucks.
Talking about horror shows, has anyone here seen a tv show called Penny Dreadful??
I’m told it’s worth checking out and the trailers looked good (ish).

I’ve heard very good things about that show, haven’t got round to it yet though. Decent cast in it, Josh Hartnett, Eva Green and her wonderful breasts and 007 himself, Timothy Dalton. Must check it out soon.
We have a couple of them recorded but we havent watched them yet
