The Following.... Really???

[Doshusallie]

Up to episode 6 season 1. Body count mounting to a ridiculous level. Joe Carroll has followers in the police force, and the FBI? Really???

Yep, everywhere

Barely credible though don't you think? Is it worth me continuing with it?

Just started watching this. I must say I'm really enjoying it so far. I never realised how attractive Kevin Bacon is.

Definitly.worth continuing if you can not expect it to be realistic. We are watching season 2 , dh and I have a bet as to how many dead bodies each week!

I gave up at the end of season 1 just got too ridiculous and repetitive for me

I am determined to see it to the bitter end coz I luv Kevin, but it is beyond daft now halfway through series 2.

Every episode :
Kev thinks he has figured out where Joe Carrolls followers might be.
Kev goes off all renegade on his own to find them.
Kev gets in a pickle / hurt.
Followers get away again.
repeat every episode

Oh it was awful

I lasted five or six episodes.

My DH and I watched S1 till the end but only because he was sure it would end as well as it begun. It started off so well then just got more and more far fetched and ridiculous. It gave me the rage. If the FBI really are that incompetent then the US is in trouble. Shame as it was an interesting idea.

Best bit is Joe Carroll's orgasm face when he kills someone.

Oh and how he manages to strangle someone sitting next to him in a car with just one hand by casually leaning over.

The man's amazing.

The man's amazing

Yes, and soooooooo charismatic or so the show kept insisting against all available evidence

Shame really, he was brilliant in Rome as Mark Antony.

I'm still enjoying it (and am loving Kevin too)

I've finished watching series 1, can't watch series 2 as I've missed the first few episodes. I'm new to sky and it was the first box set I watch and I really enjoyed it.

Any ideas what I can watch next? Is Game of Thrones any good?

Thanks

My theory is that it was supposed to be a zombie type series because no matter whether you shoot, stab and smack round head with shovel they always get back up and try again but the network didn't buy it so they changed it to cult members

No idea if this is true

I'm a bit freaked out as in series 2 I find I'm kind of routing for the old, horrible murderous baddies (Joe and Emma) against the new horrible murderous baddies (freaky twin mother etc). A case of better the serial killer you know?

I like it. Unbelievable trash but well acted by the main characters anyway.
