The Strain continues to rely too much on action and not enough on compelling character development. The uneven results are entertaining but hardly infectious.

The great thing about the emergence of The Born and their masters, The Ancients, is that the show is shifting away from being just a story of humanity vs. vampires.

The Strain is the summer's most bizarre, addictive series, bewilderingly beguiling.

Even for a series that knows how to get under one's skin, these babes of the dark are incredibly squirm-inducing.

Sometimes we have to be incredibly bad before we can become somewhat good, and the good news was that The Strain came out swinging in the Season 2 premiere "BK, NY," hinting that a lot of the wrongs that made Season 1 such a chore have been righted.

The Strain is still camped out in the worst kind of uncanny valley, the one between the twin peaks of pulp and gore.

With a talented group of actors and a B-movie like repertoire of dialogue and action set pieces, The Strain should be on the top of your must see list for the summer.

You don't have to wait long for FX's vampire saga The Strain to deliver the creepy, cheeky shocks and gore that made the show a delightful summertime thriller last year.

The Strain works best when it knows exactly what it is: pulpy, goofy, comic book-like adventuring with a few creepy ideas peppered in to expand the lore.

The Strain has slowly wormed its way into my affections, as surely as one of the show's vampire worms burrowing into a victim's eye.
