The Following

[SoCal]

A new show on Fox, starring Kevin Bacon as a retired FBI agent recalled to service when a serial killer he helped capture and put into prison, escapes and seems to continue where he left off.

Really exciting program. And I'm no Kevin Bacon fan. But the set-up was intriguing and the characters, compelling.

I won't give away what happened in the first episode yet, but you'll be knocked down and out of breath by the time the hour is up.

Also, there will be 14 episodes.....IN 14 CONSECUTIVE WEEKS!!! No stupid breaks or, that horrible word, hiatuses.

Watch and see what you think.

I watched, I saw, I think... the show is Criminal Minds on steroids!

SPOILER ALERT!

I set it to record and gave it the #1 spot so that nothing overrides it. I have heard of groupies, but these are groupies from Hell - or maybe Hellbound. I am always so optimistic that "it's going to turn out alright", but I know now to not get my hopes up for any of the victims in this show.

Looking forward to the next episode.

This second episode was just as good as the first. So, there was a little hanky-panky going on between Ryan and the sicko's wife. It bet that is really sticking in his craw.

And those accolytes! Man-o-man, what is it about a man who romantisizes the act of dying and death that is so appealing?

That ending! The person in the Poe mask throwing the flammable liquid over ANY person at a roadside food stand and setting him on fire! Yikes.

Oh, and the "safehouse" the feds discovered by accident. Again, yikes!

Hey, is that new female fed one of the sicko's followers? What book did she bring him in prison? What's her story?

Looking forward to chapter 3.

SoCal, I had made a thread for the second episode because I will create a forum for this if we make it through 3 episodes. I copied and responded to your post in that thread.

Thanks, kiddo. Good idea to create a new thread for each episode.

I am watching a 30-minute special "The Following Revisited" which is a good recap on S1. The actors and producers give personal comments on what took place.
