I can't wait until everyone that threatens to quit watching every week actually quits watching. When I watch the show it seems like it is over in 15-20 minutes. Which to me means that it is a very interesting show.

That's my experience so far, too. Sure there are flaws in the show; there were in early Star Trek, in early X-Files, in early Walking Dead, in early Breaking Bad... (shall I go on?) as characters are being developed. But the premise of the show has roots in both science and superstition, current events and future possibilities (bad ones). Could wind up going apocalyptic like Walking Dead, where the zombie class are really some kind of parasitic vampire breed. But it may remain limited, more modest, with a political intrigue undercurrent working the CDC and Dept. of Health, Human Svcs. And peoples' personal lives being impacted.
Either way, I'm enjoying what I'm seeing.

Let the haters go watch something on their level and quit tearing it down for the rest of us. Too much group-think goes on around here sometimes.

Lol at mentioning this in the same breath as Breaking Bad

Comparing the flaws in The Strain to the flaws in BB should be criminal.

The Strain looks pretty and has a great concept, but it has some of the worst writing and acting I've seen on TV in a very long time.

I like The Strain, it will get better now that the new vamps will get active. Will we start killing them? Who will do it? True Blood has wussed out and sucks now and the Tyrant sucks. I quit watching after 3 shows, no good. We are fighting those guys now, and more of them later.
