    "The Strain"

    I loved the season premiere tonight! "The Feelers" -- blind kids now turned into vampires?!?!?! Now that is just messed up! That entire cast is just fantastic! I bet Michonne and Daryl from TWD would have a field day!

    I stopped watching after about 8 eps. I can't help it, I just don't feel a connection to the characters, and don't really like the "sucker-tongue" vampires Del Toro seems to favor.

      I watched a few episodes and just couldn't get into it. I couldn't really tell if it was the pacing or the characters. Perhaps it was both.

        I enjoy the show, but the acting is pretty darn awful. I think the big bad guy is creepy as all get out.

          My friend does the makeup for this, he sculpted the Master's coffin as well.

          We watch it although we missed the premiere due to seeing "Ant-Man" which also stars Corey Stoll oddly enough. I find it like a vampire version of "V", where they built this cast of resistance fighters and made their stories slowly intertwine.

          Season one took a while to get going, the highlight for me, being the episode where they were trapped in the gas station. Some creepy moments though and the added fun of seeing Toronto landmarks being passed off as NYC.

          I've been told Season 3 begins filming in the fall.

            I had not read that the show had been renewed for next year? If your information is accurate, that is great! Again, I am a huge fan of the show! The vampire makeup is simply terrific. Richard Sammel is a phenomenal actor in the show.

              Oop, I hope I didn't speak out of turn. I could be wrong as my friend would also be the first guy to prep such things so it could just be planning right now.

                Last week's episode really turned the tide for me. I hope Angel the limping busboy and ex-luchador sticks around for a while.

                  I watched the second season premier last weekend. It was freaking awesome. I jumped a couple of times, and I love that. It was cool to see WWE' The Kurgan/ Robert Maillet as the Master.
