Review of The Following

The Following (2013–2015)
7/10
Interesting but not brilliant

Warning: Spoilers
I just watched the Pilot episode and while I enjoyed it, I am not sure I am going to be a huge fan.

Kevin Bacon plays a retired FBI agent, Ryan Hardy, who captured serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy). In the act of capturing him and saving one of the victims he is stabbed and nearly killed and now must have a pace maker to keep him alive.

Joe Caroll escapes and from death row and comes after the last victim who he was unable to kill and Hardy must try to stop him.

The love interest played by Natalie Zea, who happens to be Joe Caroll's ex wife and Ryan Hardy's ex lover makes for interesting viewing.

While the pilot really only just gets the show started it lays the foundation for what is obviously to come in future episodes.

I like Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy and will be watching future episodes at least to see where it goes.

It has potential and hopefully it won't be canceled before it reaches it's conclusion.
