The book series is great. The TV show does a decent job with some of the material. The biggest issue with the show is the casting and some choices in FX. Considering we are not supposed to like the ex-wife too much, I am fine with how much I dislike the character in the show. But, we are supposed to actually like his son. But, the casting change on the kid playing him is so bad that one actually starts hoping for the kid to die. When your biggest hope for a show is for the kid to get killed, and that isn't actually the intent of the story, you know you have issues. The kid makes it almost painful to watch the show. The big badguy is also fairly ridiculous looking. Extremely dated FX design.

Great show, loved the books and this did a pretty good job of translating them to the screen.

Now shudder. You’ve finally done something right. You’ve been lacklustre lately but you hit the right nail here. The strain is probably the best show and the worst you’ll see why I will not spoil a single thing. Everyone if you love vampires, parasites & a slow burn with high action involved. This is it.
