The Strain should be a story of hope and mounting odds which our Heroes face and battle against but always have hope in sight. In comparison to the books the story line has been all over the place mixing in elements from both The Strain and The Fall but not getting either right tonally. We won’t even speak of Kelly being the focus of a full episode when Gus still only gets 5 minutes at the very best of times. Quinlan appeared and they teased a team up but we will have to wait for that but in reality I don’t know if I have anymore time for this series. Gus went from initially being a stereotype to being a really strong character in the space of 4 episodes, we even got to see the virus humanised in his storyline but that only made the A story feel so weak in comparison. The initial survivors all the way back in the first episode were all well cast and interesting but sadly we did not see enough of them to humanise the process of becoming a Strigoi. Less successful was Eph who occasionally repeated himself with disease, while that maybe fault with the script and not the actor it was still hard to listen to every week. Fet and Nora all played their parts well.

Probably one of both the best and the worst aspects is the design of The Master, part practical effect and part CGI he often seemed fake but when moving at faster speeds he seemed like an actual threat.Ĭasting wise this series did a good job of picking actors Setrakian. Lets not give these guys any time this week, they are far too interesting compared to the main storyline.Įach week I held hope that this series would rise up and meet me halfway when it came to expectation but alas, every episode was a little worse, sure we had the flashbacks with Setrakian and the moments of charm from Fet but it was just a splash in a very shitty ocean. Decisions seem to be made without any consideration of timing or reason, there is no particular event that makes the crew believe they will win against an ancient slab faced monster but they have nothing else to do so, why not? This being the last episode of series 1 I was hoping that we would be building towards something but alas this week was another random choice to attempt to defeat The Master once and for all. Slab face, vagina monster with penis tongue?

Bolivar makes a return following last weeks brief cameo at the end, I do question keeping his wig despite now being full Strigoi but why question anything in this series anymore. Will they defeat The Master? Why am I still watching this expecting quality? Why do we need to see Palmer each week? Eph and Fet decide to scout the home of the vamps ready for the showdown of the year. So the Canary team have decided to take on The Master head on and take him down, defeating the strigoi and saving the world! Meanwhile Guy meets some rubber vampire costumes and Mr Quinlan. This guy is genuinely interesting and displays conflict of interest.
I will soon to do a comparison between the book and the series but for now PLOT! So far I have had mixes emotions about this series and the finale did nothing but make it more evident that they wish to veer wildly from the plot of the book. VAMPIRE WEEK! Well we made it everyone, here is the season finale for The Strain.
