LUFTHANSA YOU FUCKING DICKWEASEL
The Strain is a pretty good show. It's like they made a show about what would have been the interesting part of the walking dead. It starts off slow but it's building up to something it cool it seems like. I'll probably eating my words though.

Comedy is basically self-deprecation.
The Strain has some decent CG but the acting and writing is pretty awful, but it's still a better show than what the Walking Dead is now. Fargo is the best show to come out of FX is a loooong time.

hello :)
Dude, I am pretty easy on shows and movies. Like I can deal with what might be questionable writing and chalk it up to "well that person is just a little weird ok?"

But the writing and acting in this show is ridiculous. How this is popular I have no idea, I'm guessing its got some concepts that appeal to nerds but I couldn't make it halfway through the second episode so I couldn't even really get a good idea of wtf was going to happen

agreed. Justified is so good and FX's best, Fargo is a very close second and sometimes better but it also has only had 1 season so far so next season could suck horribly.

I kinda liked the strain at first, but I gave it up around ep4 or 5. the writing/characters are stupidly bad. the predictable vagina started crying about killing PEOPLE and there has to be another way!!!; the custody thing is loving dumb because who cares about that poo poo in 2014; some gay mexican dude and his boring junkie brother and fat friend escapes; sean astin is a gay whiny beta pussy; and too much boring lovely written personal drama and forgettable+unlikable characters.

Waldo frey is about the only semi interesting character and that's because he only shows up for a couple seconds. just give me sword slashing zombie-worm people.

Sticking it to THE MAN, assuming THE MAN is an innocent casual dining restaurant.
It's a fun show. I like to imagine they took some crappy characters and writing from a boring tv drama show and threw some campy horror in. It's good if you don't go in thinking every tv show has to be fargo or breaking bad these days like some kind of chump.

I haven't read the books, but it is looking like yes to the world ending, and yes the rat catcher is in it and has back story.

The first half of Justified's first season is probably the worst part of the show, and the answer was The Shield

Clearly anyone saying The Strain is the worst hasn't been watching the gloriously terrible show Under The Dome.

I made it half way through the first episode before shutting it off. The premise had some potential, but the writing, acting, and dialogue were really, really bad. The CDC people being super careful and wearing spacesuits on the plane but then casually handling a mysterious black box covered in skulls while wearing plain clothes was about the point where it got so dumb I just couldn't take it. In a post Breaking Bad world I guess I just can't suffer through badly written shows the way I once did.

yea it's not the worst ever; it's more like a lot of wasted potential and just not worth watching. i agree though that Under the Dumb may be the worst i've seen in quite awhile--you can't even hate watch it. the badlist was really horrible too, not the worst but really drat bad

What I love about the Walking Dead is that they supposedly didn't have any sort of zombie stories in that "reality". No one knows what a zombie is and the word basically doesn't exist.

Zombies in the Strain are just a way for him to spread his silly worms while eating people.
