The Strain - new series on FX channel

Starts tonight at 10pm Eastern. I read and enjoyed the three Strain books, so I hope the series is good.

From FX --

The Strain is a high concept thriller that tells the story of "Dr. Ephraim Goodweather," the head of the Center for Disease Control Canary Team in New York City. He and his team are called upon to investigate a mysterious viral outbreak with hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism. As the strain spreads, Eph, his team, and an assembly of everyday New Yorkers, wage war for the fate of humanity itself.

Co-Creators, Executive Producers and Writers Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan co-wrote the pilot script for The Strain, which was directed by del Toro. Emmy® Award winning Writer and Producer Carlton Cuse serves as Executive Producer/Showrunner and Writer. Gary Ungar also serves as Executive Producer. The series is produced by FX Productions.

Sunday nights - Ray Donavan at 9pm and The Strain at 10pm.

It was very intense.

Is Guillermo Del Toro related to Benicio?

I like both of those shows too but for some reason, I keep forgetting about Tyrant. I have some catching up to do on that show. Is it worth me catching up on the last couple of episodes?
