The Strain on FXS1E2 “The Box” is reviewed. Did the momentum get killed in this episode right away? And how was the coroner not missed? Our reviewers ponder whether or not The Strain is a “guilty pleasure” show, and whether or not that’s a bad thing. What do the Nazi themes infer? Are the worms and blood-licking scenes too much, or just right? What about the cliffhanger ending, and similarities that it drew?
Ben Mankiewicz (Turner Classic Movies), William Bibbiani (Crave Online), Ryan Turek (Shock Till You Drop) and Alonso Duralde (The Wrap) discuss.
