Reviews

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
yollya Writers got lazy is the best way to explain. Started off good but The last season was horrible.
kernterminator The Strain started really good and interesting, but the characters turns from "i wont kill someone" to bloody killer machines. Also I hope that i never ever have to see this KID in a movie anymore, he did the worst actress i EVER had seen, sometimes i skipped scenes just to don´t bear him. But all in all it was a entertaining and bloody series, maybe to less storry to watch it twice, but if u like ("vampires"; "zomies" or "infections") definitely cool to watch once
pietclausen It took me a while, back in 2014 when this series started, to convince myself that it was not just another vampire saga. And so it was not. It was a totally different zombies series with intrigue and lots of strain.Having watched every episode, with ups and downs for the heroes and master, it is finally coming to a close. Just 1 more episode and it is all over. I think we can safely guess who the winners are going to be in The Last Stand, so at this point of the game I can now give an overall rating of 7 for this series. That's a pretty good figure for this type of series, as I don't like vampires!
ed321 I love American TV. From the 1950's Sgt Bilko to Breaking Bad. American comedies and dramas are arguably the best in the world. Recently that reputation has been cemented by the likes of 24, Breaking Bad, The Wire, West Wing, The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead, Stranger Things and The Strain.I watched Series 1 & 2 DVD Boxset of the Strain and was blown away. The acting, the production values are first class. It combines good story telling with on-the-edge-of-the-seat action. These are not cardboard stock characters but well developed characters that you root for in each episode. OK there are some plot holes that could have done better but this fantastic and looking forward to watch the rest of the series.
