The Strain on FX, S1E7 “For Services Rendered” is reviewed. This episode is incredibly fun, according to our reviewers– what did you think? “The Master” is coined, and long-held horror tropes and rules are established (and winked at) as we move through the story. How deeply will the conventions go? Has The Strain finally hit its stride?

Ryan Turek (Shock Til You Drop) and William Bibbiani (Crave Online) discuss.
