The Strain

Season 2 Trailer: Hunt The Master (FX)

"Inside The Strain" Trailer (FX)

Synopsis:

Bold and different take on Vampires. In this case the condition is a disease spread by parasitic worms. Victims take on very interesting new characteristics.

Cast:

Ratings:

IMDB: 76%
Rotten Tomatoes: 84% (based on 4.2/5 average rating as of July 2015).

Length:

season 1: 13 episodes.
season 2: (current) 13 episodes.

Notes:

A pretty wide departure from "typical" vampire shows. Here the vampires are more monster than human, and there's lot's of comic book-style action. In the show, vampirism is often referred to as a "viral" disease. Presumably the parasitic worms carry a virus that transforms cells of the victim.
