Plot introduction

All communication channels have gone quiet. Crews on the ground are lost for answers, but an alert goes out to the CDC. Dr. Ephraim "Eph" Goodweather, head of their Canary project, a rapid-response team that investigates biological threats, gets the call and boards the plane. What he finds makes his blood run cold.In a pawnshop in Spanish Harlem, a former professor and survivor of the Holocaust named Abraham Setrakian knows something is happening. And he knows the time has come, that a war is brewing.So begins a battle of mammoth proportions as the vampiric virus that has infected New York begins to spill out into the streets. Eph, who is joined by Setrakian and a motley crew of fighters, must now find a way to stop the contagion and save his city - a city that includes his wife and son - before it is too late.
Summary
When a plane lands in New York City with all but four of its passengers mysteriously dead, Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll) of the CDC Canary Project is sent to investigate with his team. Abraham Setrakian (David Bradley), a Holocaust survivor turned Harlem pawnbroker, claims to have encountered this disease previously and demands that the bodies must be destroyed.
Upon first viewing I was pleased that their take on vampirism as biological rather than magic. Current vampire adaptation in media rely heavily on magic as a means to advance the plot. No teenage bullshit so that's another plus. TWD with vampires (and without jumping the shark)
If you haven't seen this yet, you're wrong.
It definitely looks/sounds like something I'd be into though, I will for sure have to check it out!
