Now, I ask you this: You have to be an idiot to read 'psychotic serial killer' in the plot and expect him to plant flowers and feed the children in Somalia, right? Damn right! I urge these people to go back either to 'Lady and the Tramp' (which was good by the way). Through the magic of deduction, those who complained and rated this '1' read the description (at least the one here on IMDb). I feel I have the right to call them idiots for a simple reason. Unfortunately, I immediately saw a great deal of idiotic, so-called reviews.
After delighting myself with this first take on 'The Following', I jumped back here to see how many people felt just as excited about this new series as I was. Excellent! Now for the second part of the review. The start of the series was off the charts, it was action filled, in a word - extraordinary! Half way through it, I immediately asked myself: How can they keep this up for at least a season?! The answer came in no time. The characters fit on Kevin and James like a glove and they, developing a 'nemesis relation' really highlight one another. We all know that having Kevin Bacon in a movie is a great plus but having James Purefoy as the charismatic serial killer is absolutely amazing. It's certainly a great start - and I'm not talking just about the good, tragic, dramatic plot but the cast too.
The first will be about the actual series and the second about, well.
I'm going to make this special - 2 reviews in 1.
