The Following

massphatness · 01-22-2013, 04:00 AM

Episode 1 hooked me ... any thoughts?

kelmac07 · 01-22-2013, 04:45 AM

DVRed it...will catch it tonight...very excited about this one.

Blak Smyth · 01-22-2013, 05:09 AM

I watched it, not what I was expecting but it was pretty damn entertaining.
I thought it was going to be more like CIS or something where each episode is a different story.

Spoiler Alert:
When that girl stabbed herself in the eye, it made me jump.
I think if I knew more about Poe it would prolly be a good thing, I did visit his grave though.

Much more well written than stuff like Criminal Minds. I tell my wife that most of these crime shows are so poorly scripted that it looks like the actors are just taking turns talking. I hope it makes the cut. They axe these shows so quickly now and it's up against Biggest Loser.

+1 Hooked!!!

Mr B · 01-22-2013, 09:43 AM

Hooked! Was done more like a good movie than a weekly show.

Mr.Maduro · 01-22-2013, 10:09 AM

I wasn't planning to watch it, but happened to catch it (@ work) and liked it. I told wifey about the encore this Friday and programmed the DVR to record the series. I really liked the actor who plays the killer (James Purefoy) especially in is role as Marc Antony on Rome.

jonumberone · 01-22-2013, 12:14 PM

Will have to set the DVR for Friday.

The Poet · 01-22-2013, 01:47 PM

It does seem to have potential, but I fear it may be a bit too gory to survive on broadcast TV.

emopunker2004 · 01-23-2013, 01:08 AM

Hooked for sure!

kelmac07 · 01-24-2013, 05:33 AM

Watched the pilot last night...kind of just grabs ya doesn't it?

WhoDeySchenk · 01-24-2013, 06:08 AM

This show is awesome....I'm hooked!

emopunker2004 · 01-24-2013, 06:29 AM

Anyone who missed the pilot, it's coming on again Tomorrow night 9e/8c on FOX

kaisersozei · 01-24-2013, 07:35 AM

Lots of potential here for a great show with a twisty narrative. Cool that it's set in Virginia/Richmond, even though it was filmed elsewhere. We had an article this Sunday featuring the writer, who said he's been obsessed with Poe since a trip to the Poe museum in Richmond back in the '80s.

Anyone still watching? I'm still into it, but I don't see how the show will carry over to another season without getting too convoluted. It's a great show, which is surprising considering that it's on network television.

kelmac07 · 03-06-2013, 04:06 PM

Big time into it!!

qwerty1500 · 03-06-2013, 04:54 PM

It's one of the few shows that I DVR because I don't want to miss it.
