Hooked on The Strain

OH. MY. GOSH I just discovered a new TV series and I am so very much loooooooving it! It’s called The Strain.

How did I get to watch it?  Well, it was in our HD.  I was bored and I wanted to watch a new show.  I was browsing the folders and the I decided to just re-watch White Collar (because I so love Neal Caffrey) when I saw a new title – The Strain.  I got very curious and decided to watch an episode.  And the rest they say is history.  I saw all five (5) episodes in one night. That is how much I enjoyed the show.  I was so impressed and hooked on the pilot.  I don’t think there’s a show (this year) that got me hooked on the pilot alone.  I couldn’t explain it – but I was HOOKED.  I was looking forward to every scene, I was giddy and concentrated at the same time.  I was so excited – really really excited and I wanted to know what happened next. When my Panget got home – I gushed about the show.  I told him that he would love it, and that it was super duper nice.  He just said one thing ‘Guillermo del Toro’.  It was only then that I knew why he had that particular show on our HD.  My Panget has this talent for picking out TV shows – and this one, he has in our HD.  The only reason he has it is because of Guillermo del Toro.  My Panget is a huge huge huge fan of this man.  My Panget has watched ALL of his movies and is surely going to watch his future films – with me in tow (whether I like it or not).  My Panget then proceeds to tell me that this was a book that was made into a TV show.  I didn’t know that Guillermo del Toro wrote a book!  I then googled it and yeah – he did write it. Isn’t it exciting?  I don’t want to go into detail because I might spoil it for you, but I swear to you – if you’re a fan of sci-fi/vampire/suspense thriller – then please please, do watch this show!  I promise you, you won’t be disappointed!  Every episode makes you more curious.  I really wish I can be patient enough to compile the next few episodes so I can have more than an hour’s worth of episode to watch.  I keep waiting for another scene after the episode fades to black. Dammit!  Self control!! Hahaha… Oh, and Sean Astin is there.
