THE STRAIN is a high-concept thriller that tells the story of DR. EPHRAIM GOODWEATHER, the head of the Center for Disease Control Canary Team in New York City. He and his team are called upon to investigate a mysterious viral outbreak with hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism. As the strain spreads, Eph, his team, and an assembly of everyday New Yorkers wage war for the fate of humanity itself. (FX Network)

The Strain (2014) 

English A pleasant genre piece that, after three parts, has no problem keeping the tone set by a somewhat overcomplicated pilot. Interestingly developing characters and the two biggest badasses of the current series - rat killer Vasilij and maestro Satrakian ensure a sufficient supply of platelets. Viggo Nekromortensen Thomas Eichhorst on the other side of the river only completes the beautiful panopticon. The fear that the wheels will fall off and everything will start going in circles disappears in part five. As soon as the fight for life and death begins, The Strain gets going in exactly the way that pulp demands. Te Nosferatu commando and the formation of vampirological-deratization-virological revolts are explicitly top moments. ()
