First episode was on Sky Atlantic last night. I thought it was pretty good.

I thought it was good as well. Clever idea. I was disturbed by the fact I thought Kevin Bacon looked good in it!

DevlinMaccabee · 23/01/2013 11:49

Not so sure about him looking good, but better than some of his previous characters for sure!

I just watched this last night, I thought it was good, I certainly jumped in a couple of places. I love James Purefoy though.

Can't
We don't have Sky Artlantic Sad

I might watch this if people think it's good - can't get into Utopia

I LOVED THIS!!
I really loved how it was like a film in its own right - it could have ended there, without any further episodes. And they style of filming, and the subject matter was very movie-like. And SO MUCH happened - I get fed up of programmes that drag out an hour with very little happening.

Kevin Bacon did look quite hot - I think it was the very very very expensive shirt and suit that did it.
And James Purefoy was so brilliantly cast - really handsome but terrifying.
A lot of it was cliched, but thats ok - it's just TV.

Wonder what episode 2 will have in store for us?

Thought it was excellent. Very gory. I'm such a wimp I was behind a pillow for a lot of it!

Mosschops30 · 29/01/2013 21:24

Loved it too, and loved Kevin Bacon! I deffo would

BaconAndAvocado · 29/01/2013 22:48

Ugh! Both the Following and Utopia are a complete misery. DH has been watching both, whilst I'm on MN, and its one inane killing after another.

Downton Abbey anyone? Grin

DevlinMaccabee · 29/01/2013 22:58

Another great episode! What was that all about with that federal agent woman giving Carroll that book?

Omg I love it. I so wanna hate Kevin bacon but just can't. I'm looming forward to
No 3

HelgatheHairy · 29/01/2013 23:22

Not sure about the agent giving him the book. DH has thought that some agent will be involved but I doubt they'd reveal it this soon

ReindeerBollocks · 29/01/2013 23:24

Just saw both episodes, it was amazing. Really well acted by JP and KB. DH and I were also discussing who else amongst the police force will be part of the following. Am not putting ideas on this thread just in case I'm wrong!

chickensarmpit · 29/01/2013 23:26

James purefoy is my new obsession. Oh my god he's gorgeous!

DevlinMaccabee · 30/01/2013 08:00

I agree, I doubt they would reveal who else was involved so early on.

Why do I have to wait almost a week for episode 3?

I watched episode one a couple of nights ago. Looking forward to episode two. Looks like an interesting idea, I hope they keep it up.

glenthebattleostrich · 30/01/2013 08:11

Watching ep 2 tonight, very excited. I have had a little crush on James Purefoy since watching Rome a few years ago, so worth watching just for him.

Great to have some well written drama (hopefully it will continue to be) with lots of eye candy!!! (we need a dirty old woman smiley)

Nancy66 · 30/01/2013 11:00

I have to tape it and watch it during the day as DP is away and i'm too scared to watch it at night...

SpanishFly · 30/01/2013 12:52

I love how it has the feel of a movie, rather than a series - so much happens in the hour (45 mins after ad breaks!)

LittleAbruzzenBear · 30/01/2013 12:59

Ooh, a Following thread! I just watched last nights. It's really good, but won't ruin it for those who haven't seen it yet. I love Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy. Finally a gripping programme with great actors to replace 24!

SpanishFly · 30/01/2013 13:07

but it's easier to follow what's going on in the plot than it was with 24!

Kevin Bacon - I SOOOO would. I've always thought he was totally unattractive. Until last week :)

And Joe's wife - my new girl crush.

LittleAbruzzenBear · 30/01/2013 13:09

Some men are definitely better with age and KB is one of them. Agree, he is fit!

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 30/01/2013 13:12

Hugh Laurie being another :o mmmm dr house :o

KB didn't look bad I have to say I was sure I was gonna hate him in it!!

buzzgirly · 31/01/2013 13:14

I am really enjoying this. I think there will be a few twists, I just hope it doesn't drag out and get ridiculous like so many US dramas.

I agree about Kevin Bacon, I have never considered him attractive before but he seems to have become really hot in this.Wink
