The Following

Studio calculated plan to force a cult show into existence. That's not how it works.

got mixed feelings.

The epitome of generic studio TV made by passionless suits that pretends to be something new and daring.

A drab and unintentionally goofy, calculatedly "shocking" thriller. I watched all the first season but dropped out a little into the second, which got too insultingly dumb to watch any more. Their attempt at creating a classic TV villain in Joe Carroll was not successful; I've felt more personality and threat from villains on Disney Afternoon shows. Still, it had some real so-bad-it's-good, laughing at it appeal in season 1 though. Did some drunk watching.

Generic stough. Nothing special, but still I watched it all, I must have needed some simple to relaxe :-)

Started off with so many possibilities and chose to take the most generic route possible to tell the story. Bacon and Purefoy try and breath life into this series but the ultimate hinderance comes from the subpar writing when tackling such complex themes. Had the potential to become of the best in years, instead it became just the next show forgotten after the first season.

So many psychopaths, so little entertainment.
