    Hey, if I'm going to have to watch the next few episodes because of the GF, misery loves company.

    I so have to revisit this. My wife has this thing about choosing one truly bad TV show to get hooked on per year, and last year it was THE STRAIN, to my dismay.

    I usually let her watch her bad shows on her own while I do something more enjoyable like rubbing habanero seeds on my junk, but for some reason I decided to stick this one out with her.

    It's GREAT! Not great in the conventional sense, but if you get any enjoyment out of badly made horror flicks filled with inconsistencies and flat out fuck ups, this show is for you! The dialogue and acting are straight out of the B movie vein, the plot holes are Grand Canyon style, it's just some priceless shit to watch.

    Yup the GF stayed hooked and we've watched them all.

    Craptastic but we can't shut it off.

    Not as over the top bad as The Sharknado Trilogy, but pretty bad.

    The Hispanic doctor chick is extremely hot yet the worst actress I have ever seen.

    The blonde English broad comes in second.

    Not sure what it is, the wife gave up on it long ago but I can not stop watching. Guess it's like a bad car wreck you just can't look away.
    The little skitter kids would be good target practice, put a dozen or so in a warehouse and open fire.

    Yeah, the blonde limey girl is the keeper for me.

    The long haired rocker dude vampire is probably the coolest looking villain I've seen in a while, too bad he got taken over by the master and ditched the wig (Or did he keep the wig? I haven't watched Sunday's episode yet.)

    And holy fuck, I want Eph's kid to die. They changed the actor for the son from last season and this kid's face is just intolerable. I root for him to die every episode now.

    I don't find much of the show truly "scary" but those little kids are pretty close.

    Lol I can't stand that kid. Every time he's on screen I'm yelling for him to die.

    That's a huge flaw because I think we're supposed to have empathy for the kid, be rooting for him in the battle with his Mom and all I can think is let her have him.

    The kid last year was totally likeable.

    Yep, he's really that bad. I watched American Sniper for the first time last week, and near the end of the movie you see him interacting with his son... AND IT'S THAT KID! I started talking to the TV, telling Chris Kyle to bring his son with him to the firing range.

    Too soon?
