I watched The Strain more or less while it was being released and I had a lot of fun with it, but for some reason I never watched the final season. A few weeks ago, for some reason, I watched it. And I had a lot of fun with it. It’s got a nice B movie vibe, it’s competently made, there’s always a lot of momentum in the narration, there’s at least a couple of great episodes in every season, I liked the characters (Vasiliy Fet is amazing and I don’t understand how Kevin Durand doesn’t have a better career as the “co-starring” charismatic guy), the apocalyptic melodrama vibe is entertaining. The finale works and does what it has to do. Also, in season 4, that kind of second tier Paul Bettany, Quinlan, has got a line that’s very on the nose, like the whole show, but for some reason stayed with me: “Whipping yourself won’t make you stronger, it will only distract you”. So I had fun and I also found some meaning in it: what more should I ask for?
