So to those living in not TV land aka "normal" people, there's this show on FOX called the Following! It's a crime-drama starring Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy (characters Ryan Hardy and Joe Carroll. Not gonna lie, it's a DAMN GOOD SHOW. Like actually!
Several years ago, FBI agent Ryan Hardy was involved in a case, searching for a serial killer murdering beautiful young women (and cutting out there eyes afterwards of course). The killer turns out to be Joe Carroll, an english professor at a local university. The man is obsessed with Edgar Allan Poe, and is convinced that there is nothing more beautiful than the death of a beautiful woman. Creepy, I know. So fast forward to the present, and there are murders popping up with the same M.O. as Carroll, who was long ago imprisoned.
The show is dramatic, inciting, full of action and a large amount of plot twists! For any crime and/or drama program lovers, I strongly suggest this show! It's very well done, and guess what? Season 1 just ended! And hallelujah it's been renewed for a second!
I'm definitely excited to see what's to come with the next season, too bad we're months away from the premiere.
Thanks for stopping by!
Stay classy internet.
PS - Full youtube review of the show coming soon!
Ok, I only have one question: do you discover who did it at the end of the episode or at least the season? Or is that kind of thing, like with "The Mentalist" (or the misteries on "Lost") where they just keep it rolling for far too long until you're past the point of... you know... caring? In my opinion there's this fine line between "suspense" and "suspension" that TV - specially American TV - will very often cross.
ReplyDeleteActually you know most of the time who did it! And the times you don't you usually find out by the end of the episode, and definitely by the end of the season! No drawn out suspense!
DeleteI was refering to the main storyline. As in who's coping the MO of the original killer/will they or won't they/who's Red Jon (The Mentalist) and so on. Not the usually predictable plots of individual episodes.
DeleteWell I can guarantee you it's not a predictable show! And you'll have to watch it to find out!
ReplyDeleteGreat! I'll give it a try sometime then. Also, go watch Dr. Horrible. Like... now!
