The Strain is on slow boil but will be getting good the further the vampire plague spreads. It doesn't give it's secrets up easily or quickly to be sure. But it's a good wait. I will trust and enjoy as I have through the first five episodes. It seems like the creators have a vision here. They have frightened and delighted me all at the same time. Our team of monster fighting heroes is also shaping up nicely with the weird city rat killer and the gangster boxer getting closer to meeting the old man. Gives me everything I can ask for a good Sunday night summer show? (FX Canada -13 Episodes)
Anyone want to talk me into Fargo?

Fargo was great. Martin freeman did a great job, and billy bob was an amazing villain, you just wanted him to do his evil thing. Didn't care much for Colin hanks and his story but it tied everything together. Key & peele show up too as FBI and lighten things up a bit, all in all, it was pretty good.
And yes, the strain is awesome. Loves me some Guillermo! My wife said the show is spot on with the book (which he wrote).
That's what always bugged me. Why not reshoot a great comic book page for page instead of trying to do a rewrite of something that already worked.
I will give Fargo a try then J-swim. I need a new show in the hopper.
the happah!
Not sure how much I could into the Strain since I've read the book its based on already. Sounds like Gus and Vicilli are on board and may be getting bigger roles earlier on.
I would be interested what you think having read the book. I am waiting to read the comic after the show ends this season.
