TheStrain is an American horror drama television series that aired on FX from July 13, 2014, to September 17, 2017.[1] It was created by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, based on their novel trilogy of the same name. Carlton Cuse served as executive producer and showrunner. Del Toro and Hogan wrote the pilot episode, "Night Zero", which del Toro directed. A thirteen-episode first season was ordered on November 19, 2013.[2] The pilot episode premiered at the ATX Television Festival in Austin, Texas, in early June 2014.[3]

On August 6, 2014, FX renewed The Strain for a 13-episode second season which premiered on July 12, 2015.[4][5] On August 7, 2015, FX renewed The Strain for a 10-episode third season which premiered on August 28, 2016.[6][7][8] FX renewed the series for a fourth and final season on September 27, 2016,[9] which premiered on July 16, 2017.[10] During the course of the series, 46 episodes of The Strain aired over four seasons.


The show centers around Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, the head of the CDC's New York-based Canary Project, who is called upon to investigate an airplane landing wherein everyone aboard is dead. What his team discovers is a viral outbreak that has similarities to an ancient strain of vampirism. The virus begins to spread and Goodweather works with his team and a group of the city's residents to wage a war to save humanity. As the series progresses, Goodweather finds new allies as they discover a dark underworld, political corruption and a sinister plot for dominion over life.


In 2006, del Toro pitched The Strain as a television series, but negotiations broke down when the network president at Fox Broadcasting Company asked him to make it a comedy.[38] An agent suggested expanding the concept as a novel series instead.[39] Del Toro asked Chuck Hogan to co-write the series, explaining: "I've written short stories in Spanish and English. I've written screenplays. But I'm not good at forensic novels. I'm not good at hazmat language and that CSI-style precision. When Stoker wrote Dracula, it was very modern, a CSI sort of novel. I wanted to give The Strain a procedural feel, where everything seems real."[40] Hogan agreed after reading a page and a half of del Toro's 12-page project outline; the duo collaborated for the first year on a handshake, with no contract or publishing deal in place.[41] The first installment, The Strain, was released in 2009. It was followed by 2010's The Fall and 2011's The Night Eternal.


Regarding the style of the show's production, del Toro stated: "Basically I'm trying to do what I do in my movies which is to show it as a reality, but as a reality that is stylized. It's not like CSI or The Wire, it's real but it feels a little stylized. But the way the camera work will be is very realistic. We want to keep the camera very documentary even if the look of the show is not. The look of the show is very designed. The style of the camera and the storytelling will be very loose. It will evolve from that feel of reality, and little by little we want to evolve into more stylish, horror feel that requires smoother camera moves, more suspense and atmosphere-driven moments so it will be a mixture. I don't think that mixture has been seen a lot on TV."[44]


FX ordered a thirteen-episode first season for the series on November 19, 2013, and announced that the series would premiere in July 2014.[2] In August 2015, del Toro and Cuse announced a five-season plan for the series after the third season renewal, Cuse said, "From the very beginning, we had really talked about the first book being the first season, the second book being the next two seasons and the third book the last two seasons". He also said that beyond the first and second seasons, which are 13 episodes each, the remaining seasons were planned to each consist of 10 episodes.[45] However, in September 2016, FX announced the series' fourth season would be its last. Cuse stated, "After finishing the writing on season three, Guillermo, Chuck and I looked at our remaining story and felt the best version could be told in one more season."[9]


Del Toro and Cuse cast the series together.[46] Stoll was cast as Eph Goodweather based on his performance in Midnight in Paris.[46] John Hurt played Abraham Setrakian in the original version of the pilot, but later dropped out.[47] The role was recast with David Bradley and his scenes were reshot with Bradley.[12] Del Toro had previously expressed interest in casting Roy Dotrice, who played Setrakian in several live-action advertisements for the first novel.[48] Kevin Durand, who appeared in Cuse's previous show Lost, was cast as Vasiliy Fet, although the character was originally created with regular del Toro collaborator Ron Perlman in mind.[46][49] Lauren Lee Smith was originally cast as Kelly Goodweather, but was ultimately replaced by Natalie Brown.[50] Del Toro wanted Doug Jones for a major role, but the actor had to decline because of scheduling conflicts; he later played the Ancient and the Master's previous incarnation.[51] Sean Astin was cast as Jim Kent because del Toro and Cuse "thought it would be funny to have the most famous sidekick of all times be a betrayer".[46] For the second season, Max Charles replaced Ben Hyland in the series regular role of Zach Goodweather.[22]


The pilot episode began principal photography on September 17, 2013, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[52][53] Shooting of the pilot was finished on October 31, 2013. FX ordered 13 episodes. Season one was expected to film from November 25, 2013, to April 30, 2014.[54] A full writing staff was hired to script subsequent episodes. FX reportedly committed $500,000 to creature creation.[11] Twelve swords used in the series were provided by Missoula, Montana-based bladesmith company Zombie Tools.[55] Production began for the second season in Toronto in November 2014.[56]


The original key art for the series prominently featured a worm, a vector of the vampiric virus, burrowing through a person's eye. Following complaints from members of the public, FX announced that they would replace the artwork on several of their billboards.[37]


Additionally, a 10-part webisode series titled The Strain: Under Siege aired alongside the third season. It was also released on the DVD releases of the third season and the complete series.[58]


The second season received generally positive reviews and has a Metacritic rating of 66 out of 100 based on 8 reviews.[61] On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has a rating of 78% with an average score of 7 out of 10 based on 23 reviews. Its critics consensus states, "The Strain's gory action helps compensate for an unfocused narrative, while the show's political and philosophical subtext add necessary heft for adult viewers."[62]


The third season received mixed to positive reviews and has a Metacritic rating of 62 out of 100 based on 5 reviews.[63] On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has a rating of 55% with an average score of 5.8 out of 10 based on 11 reviews. Its critics consensus states, "Content with mediocrity, The Strain suffers under the weight of a stagnant story, scraping by on the pedigree of its style and visual effects."[64]


The fourth season received generally positive reviews. On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has a rating of 100% with an average score of 7.4 out of 10 based on 13 reviews. Its critics consensus states, "The Strain concludes on a high note with a climactic season that will remind viewers of the series' initial bite."[65]


I have this problem with my Series X. It is the same TV which I have zero problems playing PS4 and Switch. But since I hooked up my Series X, it gives me eye strain. At first, I had massive eye strain and headache, but after 2 weeks it became moderate, but still there. Is this because 4k res? I also disabled HDR. Also, using my slow motion camera, I found out that my Samsung tv had invisible flickering on low brightness/backlight. Therefore, I incresed the brightness, however, while the flickering is gone, the eye strain remains. Any hints?


I have same problem. The real issue is most likely related to pulse width modulation dimming used. New method used to dim screens the screens are flickering in lower rate than it should be the eyes notices it and pupils contract and expand very fast millions of times. Thats why eyes hurt. Google pulse width modulation dimming. Most phones have this issue most pcs as well. This is morr info about it.


I don't have an Xbox, but I have played a lot of PS3 and PS4 games, and while the majority of games was enjoyable, some of them did introduce eye strain. A few of them very strongly. So, if it is the same for Xbox Series X, there might be a chance the game you use is bad while others are good. Only a larger sample of games will tell.

My first PS3 game (Tomb Raider) was one of the eye strain games, so I almost gave up too early.


axlroselm Do you have a 4K TV? Switch doesn't really go any higher then 1080P and even that is a stretch in most games. Tons of games use dynamic resolution, for example Xenoblade Chronicles X docked jumps between 540 - 720P. If it's the base PS4 it's more or less the same but more between 720P - 1080P. The Series X would always be bumping you up to 4K. Higher resolution equals more motion blur. Another issue could be if your TV supports 120FPS but doesn't support VRR. You would have tons of screen tearing in that case because to my understanding most games are not locked 120FPS. Digital Foundry is a good resource on YT for figuring out which games run at 120 and if they stay at 120FPS. At least the Series X has locked 60FPS on pretty much every game unless you are using backwards compatibility. Even in that case if the game had an uncapped frame rate it gets bumped up to 60FPS usually. Good luck.


It's really hard to say. I find the newer XBox is harder to look at than the older ones, but I also find that any XBox One that updates past the 2018 August version is hard to look at. You have to remember that it uses Windows 10 rendering, and lags 18-24 months behind Windows on a PC. So right now today, the XBox version of Windows 10 is analogous to roughly 1809, or MAYBE 1903. These weren't exactly easy on the eyes. The update for Windows 10 that caused most of us eye pain was 1607, and the XBox finally got that update in October 2018 (2 years later). The version of Windows that WORKS for most of us is 2004, which I'm not expecting to see on the XBox until probably next year at the earliest.
