"The Following" is probably the best of recent dark natured TV serials. "Bates Motel" and "Hannibal" have their charms but "The Following" has Kevin Williamson of "Scream" fame running the ship and Kevin Bacon as ex-FBI agent Ryan Hardy trying to recapture a serial killer who now has a cult behind him doing his dirty work. Don't get to attached to many characters for they come and go in very nasty ways. There is an air of paranoia running throughout where you can't even trust a nanny to be a good guy. James Purefoy deserves attention as Joe Carroll, Hardy's foil. He's so twisted. Charming one minute and a calculating psycho the next. "The Following" is a terrific binge watch. Season 2 is in broadcast now and the quality has not lessened. If you like twisty, scary and occasionally horrifying "The Following" is the one to watch.

I love Kevin Bacon. He is so talented and his role in the first season of "The Following" is well suited to him. Bacon plays an ex-FBI agent chasing a serial killer (what other kind is there?) who has just escaped from prison. Bacon has to deal with the loyal followers of this charismatic killer, and there are a lot of tense action scenes throughout. This FOX drama is getting ready to premiere its third season. This is a very compelling drama and I really love it.

I have season one and season two Best Buy for low-price waiting on season three

I like BATES MOTEL - it's an inventive reimagining of the classic Psycho, and it's sinister. I like HANNIBAL, too, another reimagining of a classic story, and truly elegant horror. I like SLEEPY HOLLOW - what a fun romp through the supernatural. But I love THE FOLLOWING. In fact, I'd admit to being nearly obsessed with it in an "I can't wait for the next episode" way when watching a season before it's released to video. Not since episodes of the old Hitchcock series, The Twilight Zone, and The Outer Limits has television honestly scared me. But THE FOLLOWING does - every episode. Each one is filled with surprises and shocks, and there's no sense of security at all left to a viewer. It's akin to what Hitchcock did by killing off Janet Leigh so early in Psycho, leaving viewers with no safety net about the characters living or dying from that moment on. Same here. Kevin Williamson of Scream fame, who created the show, learned his lessons well. You'll never watch in comfort. But the almost non-stop action, suspense, and shock will keep you wildly entertained.

Really a great series so far,its disturbing because of the sheer pleasure that the Carrol character gets from killing,& his Cult minions, they are relentless,& disturbing,but the whole thing really draws you in, due to the character base & very good acting,I think this is some of Kevin Bacons best work,the only problem is the one major flaw,that F.B.I. always go into situations in groups, & in this there are alot of times that they dont,leaving them in very vulnerable positions,but if you can get past that,Its great stuff!
