This show got an early 7/10 from me. The start was hella strong but it progressively went downhill faster than that time Neil Gaiman took over American Gods (2017) because Gods forbid a black man offend white people over slavery in America!
6/10 is the best rating I can give to Season 1, because as "good" as the Season 1 was, it suffers from the stupidity that became more prevalent in Season 2. So prevalent in fact that I just couldn't anymore by mid Season 2. How The Strain (2014) manages to retain it's high praise and high regard for it to remain in Recommended lists is beyond my understanding.
