    I never thought a character could be more unlikable than Joffrey or Ramsey from GOT....

    But this kid has got them beat hands down! I like the show overall and he's the only part of the show I could do without.

    I HATE THAT KID

    I loved the series. Would have been much better if they killed off Zack in season 1. That kid was a worthless character. But other than that aggravating annoyance, the series was great. I was hooked from the beginning.

    Great Show!

    I watched this show when it came out & now, 8 years later, I'm watching it again! Yes, it's that good! I recommend it to anyone that enjoys these types of shows. The special effects are outstanding! The actors are great & I wouldn't change any of them out for anyone else. If you haven't seen this, YOU NEED TO! Trust me, you will not be disappointed one bit! The storyline keeps you wanting more & makes you want more so you will have a hard time just saying " OK, just one more episode!" LOL! Yeah right, that would be really hard hahaha! I can binge watch if I could lol! So, enjoy and have fun!!!

    [7.6] Worth watching for Richard Sammel performance alone

    A superb drama, fantasy, horror series by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan. I loved its uncompromising vibe and atmosphere, its "gruesome" screenplay, its near outstanding development and to some great extents its acting, besides Corey Stoll and Max charles who nearly undermined the series flow, especially in the last season.

    One of the few series that truly combines horrific screenplay, storyline plots and gripping visual effects since the first episode.

    Highly recommended and one of Guillermo del Toro's brightest and finest works.

    A refreshing take on classic vampire / zombie shows

    I recently decided to watch "The Strain" as my Halloween series over October and can say I was pleasantly surprised by how well the story unfolded. The main characters, aside from the kid, were all fantastic. This show has a good balance of story telling, along with action and drama to keep you entertained. Furthermore, they did not stretch it out too long. 4 seasons was the perfect amount and the ending was good / provides closure to the series.

    Reading other reviews I did see a lot of negative comments regarding the kid. And while I agree he was not a great actor nor did his decision end of season 3 make much sense, I feel that season 4 built on his character a lot and made the ending more satisfying.

    • Trivia
      The brand of cigarettes that Mrs. Martinez smokes, Morley, is not a real brand, but it has been a popular fake cigarette brand in TV shows and movies since 1960, when it appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's movie Psycho (1960). Perhaps its best-known use was as the brand preferred by the "Cigarette Smoking Man" on The X-Files (1993).
    • Goofs
      Throughout the series whenever someone picks up a gun or is walking while carrying one, whether it is a revolver, semi-automatic pistol, rifle, shotgun, assault rifle or submachine gun, the guns make very noticeable clicking, clunking, and rattling sounds. A properly functioning gun does not make noises every time it is picked up, moved or jostled; if a gun is making noises like that when moved, then an internal component is broken and something is seriously wrong with it. The only kind of noises a gun might make when moving is if it has a sling, the point where it attaches might rattle a tiny bit, and rifles like the M16, M4 and AR-15 have a small weight in the buffer tube that moves a tiny bit; but these noises are very quiet and could only be heard in a very quiet environment, certainly not over the sound of people walking & talking.
    • Crazy credits
      Season 2 episode "The Battle for Red Hook" has an extended animated opening credit sequence.
