The Strain<\/em><\/strong> is one of my favorite shows producing new episodes. \u00a0Based on the trilogy of books by\u00a0Guillermo del Toro<\/strong> and Chuck Hogan<\/strong>, The Strain<\/em><\/strong> tells the story of a vampire apocalypse… but these ain’t your pop’s or your little sister’s vampires! \u00a0They’re not romantic and they don’t sparkle.<\/p>\n One of the things that I love about apocalyptic stories takes place at their start when no one is sure what is going on or what is the best course of action to take. \u00a0You know, when Brad Pitt<\/strong> watches in amazement as normal citizens begin attacking each other, or when Barbara <\/strong>is attacked in the graveyard by the creepy guy in the business suit or when Rick <\/strong>wakes from his coma to discover… well you get what I mean.<\/p>\n That’s one of the reasons I’m such a fan of\u00a0The Strain<\/em><\/strong>. \u00a0We’re two seasons in and just 23 days have passed. \u00a0The audience knows what’s coming but the characters on the show have only slowly come to realize what’s happening. \u00a0The producers were brave (smart) enough to not just jump in to the frenzy. \u00a0A slow build-up has been such fun. \u00a0I can’t wait for season three to start Sunday night.<\/p>\n
