It takes a lot for a show to blow me away these days and that is exactly what
The Strain did as soon as started watching it. So you are going to want to make sure to check it out on FX tonight at 10p.
A plane arrives at JFK and no one gets off of it. In fact, there is not even a peep from anyone inside. So it is assumed it is a “dead plane”. Every government agency is called in and they all want to be the first one on board.
Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll) from the CDC has the biggest one, so his partner Dr. Nora Martinez (MÃa Maestro) and him are the first ones to check out what is going on. When they get inside the plane, everyone is dead. Or so they think. As Dr Martinez is in the cockpit, the pilot suddenly wakes and so do 3 of the other passengers. Why did these four survive and what killed the others is a mystery. A mystery that they will have to solve. Something that won’t be easy because it is unlike anything they have ever seen before.
But there is one man who has and his name is Professor Abraham Setrakian (David Bradley). He tells them that if they want to get rid of this mysterious virus, they need to destroy the bodies of everyone, including the survivors, who were on the plane. Of course they think he is crazy, until things he warns them about start to happen. Like all the dead bodies go missing, but no one knows where they went.
Where did they go? What is happening? Can it be stopped?
We will just have to tune into this thrilling horror masterpiece to find out.
Be prepared to scream, cover your eyes and jump out of your seat several times during each episode. I know I did that in the first four episodes I saw and I loved each one more than the one that airs before it.
Who knew summer TV could be so hot, and this summer is scorcher when it comes to television thanks to shows like The Strain.
