The Strain
So I'm halfway through the first season and this shit is kinda ass.
Does it get better?

That's a shame.
Guess I'll finish the season and be done with it.

I think its serviceable through first 2 seasons, then it kinda goes off the rails and becomes 'pointless'. Everything kinda happens too 'easy'. It has some amazing moments tho, especially Guillermo Del Toro's directed episodes.

The kid actor in season 1 wasn't annoying enough for where the plot was going, so in season 2 they recast him with the most obnoxious little cunt possible.

I'd say writing wise it gets more interesting after season 1. The one thing overall that makes the show interesting is they show the city devolve. But yeah you have to put up with crappy actors and it being generally schlock.

Also the spic mary sue/del taco self insert is an enormous scumbag nigger and the show tonally glazes him.

Only the first episode is good. Government agency vs vampires is great. Same formula as an X-Files episode. Then it quickly becomes nonsense.

It's perfect, the entire series is flawless. The best horror series ever except for The X-Files and Del Toro's best work by far.

The pilot is the best episode in the series.

In the show the worms go in through the skin or through the side of the eye but never in the eyeball like in the poster.

It gets a bit odd. The series is adapted from a book trilogy that Del Toro co-authored. The first season covers the entire first book. Then they decided to do four more seasons, two per book. So seasons 2 and 3 cover book 2. Then they got cancelled and so the last season has to rush to wrap everything up.
So yeah there's some issues, but desu if you're enjoying season 1 it doesn't take a nosedive or anything in future seasons, it stays solidly consistent

Corneal cut/tear/abrasion can feel like that, not likely you actually have something in your eye for that long

On a visual level it's very good, and the vampires are hardcore like the ones from Blade II.

The writing is just ok for the most part, and the kid and his Ma were insufferable. Unfortunately they dominate the screen time and I noped out.

There isn't a single tv show that /tv/ won't shit on.

At this point they just watch shows, then go on here to pick apart and shit on every little thing.
Then they say it sucks.

When it happened to me i could see the damage by shining my phones flashlight from a real close angle from the corner of my eye. If theres any chance of a penetration though you should go to a doctor, if piece or metal or such gets "shot" into your eye past the cornea itll cause an infection and RIP eye.

I have to use eye drops twice a day or my eyelid sticks to my cornea & rips pieces off every time I blink. Feels like that

Kind of shit but sort of watchable slock. It is surprising who ends up the worst characters. It was fun when /tv/ discussed it with the memes.

Show has the same quality throughout. Some of the best threads on the board where The Strain Generals. You had to be here and experience them live.

Also, you are now aware of this

Please go see an eye doctor, the test is super simple and painless and cheap.
They put a drop of eye in your eye that stains your cornea and then they shine a blacklight on it, it takes like 30 seconds or something.

At the very least use eyedrops, you're probably rubbing and poking at your eye and making the irritation worse, but still if it persists for another day I'd make an appointment or go to a walk in clinic or whatever.

It gets worst after the first quarter of season 1 and degenerates into worst soap opera slop as it goes along.

I enjoyed it, despite the multiple annoying characters, if you aren't enjoying it now, give up, it doesn't improve in the later series.
