      Audience Reviews for The Strain: Season 4

      • Feb 13, 2023
        Awesome end to this truly great series. It has everything you would want to sum up everyone's stories. I really hope that they expand on the series and possibly dive into more of Quinlan or Abraham's story. There is a lot of room to add to this franchise.
      • Nov 05, 2022
        The entire series is a pretty faithful adaptation of the source material. I enjoyed the fresh take on vampires.
      • Sep 05, 2022
        One of the most deliciously depressing series I have ever seen, as depressing as the Walking Dead or any global apocalypse scenario, where humanity falls into darkness simply because of arrogance, infighting and close-mindedness. The viewer might ask why this plague did not consume humanity before. As the series rolls out there are genuine reasons for that, based on our scientific progress, coupled with social isolation and mistrust. All the emo vampire shows with pale tall models are pathetic and bizarre compared to this realistic horror saga. To portray the strigoi vampire species as a pathogenic host-based organism is a genius move. The mechanisms and modalities of this species make sense as they are rooted firmly in biology. The special effects are equally compelling and gory, a real blood fest sure to please any horror fan. The characters of this show are relatable and memorable. Each person does their very best to turn the tide in favour or against humanity, based on their ethos. Certainly Abraham Setrakian and Thomas Eichorst tower over the rest, ancient immortal foes against each other. The other great strife between the Master and the Born is an epic duel of fates. The supporting cast makes a great team across the board, demonstrating the central theme of the show, that evil uses love to win. The deep roots of the series in history add tremendous depth to the events, showing the repeating cycle of good versus evil. This show embodies "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that the good do nothing". Though the series is a short 4 seasons, it completes a beautiful arc and ends with a clean slice. A really well-made show that puts you through the wringer with tension and shock, but does not once lose its footing and consistency.

        This was the scariest TV show I've ever watched. Just awesome! Mr. DelToro and crew must have had a blast coming up with ways to scare their audience. WELL DONE! Great script and dialogue. Solid directing and the casting was PERFECT! Just great how they use people of all ages, accents and backgrounds. Makes for a super colorful cast to compliment the super colorful bloody monsters. A side note: I was watching the season/episode where the zombies are after the heroes at midnight, quite spooky. As the zombies attacked, lights go out.... and just as that happened my lights went out and I lost internet service. What a great and terrifying coincidence! I hope it doesn't happen during this second viewing though. Ha ha ha

        awesome series good gore efects
      • Mar 26, 2020
        Pretty good show - especially in the midst of this pandemic.
      • Mar 01, 2019
        This series got progressively worse, with season 4 being so ridiculous I had trouble getting through it.
      • Sep 13, 2018
        Loved this show so sad to see it end!
      • Jul 06, 2018
        The earlier episode was better but im glad this show is over. Zombiesque monster shows have to end early rather than be the walking dead.
      • Dec 14, 2017
        This show got Dexter'ed. I suppose it's cancellation contributed to that, but Jesus Christ the show could've ended on a much better note.
