The Following on FOX.. starring Kevin Bacon.. I've been watching faithfully.. Pretty good so far, keeps me on the edge Anybody else watching??

I have watched since the 1st episode. It looked interesting and I like Kevin Bacon. But I'm getting frustrated because NOTHING good happens. I mean, for a show to keep a 'following' the good guys have to win once in a while, right?

The lead villain's cultish creeps are getting away with too much and I'm so sick of Emma till I'm about to stop watching. I'm going to give it one more episode and if something good doesn't happen (as in...EMMA DIES) I'm done. If Joe begins to indoctrinate his young son even more than Emma already has, that's it for me.

I grew up in a cult and there's only so much I can take.

I don't think Emma is gonna die soon enough.. She's as big a villian as Carroll. I hate them both equally.. Joe's charisma is a lil intriguing tho

I don't like the fact that you don't know who's a follower until it's too late. I think Special Agent Parker is apart of it.. or that might be what they want us to think

And Joey... Poor kid. I think he's gonna get outta there on his own somehow. He's a smart kid.. He should know by now he has to get away..

I missed the ending of last weeks episode.. How did the mom escape?

You know I really don't remember exactly how she escaped. The FBI just showed up where she was being held. I don't know if they traced her cell or what. I may have to go back and look at that episode again

But you get what I'm saying??...the audience has to have a few people they KNOW they can trust...not just Kevin Bacon. You have to give the audience a few people they know they can trust as a team. Then, you have to give the audience some successes….otherwise, why watch? If you know that every episode ends with a fail, why continue to invest in the characters???

I also think its a really stupid idea for Carroll to be in the same place as his followers and his missing kid. The FBI should not have a problem finding him... Right? The mom to me, seems like she should be freaking out way more too That being said, I am looking fwd to the nxt episode.. I wanna see where this is going

I agree with everything. I'll give it a few more episodes just because of Kevin.

I attempted to watch this twice. Couldn't make it to the next commercial. I've been desensitized by reality tv and other better crime shows. Still like Bacon.

Okay I'm just not 'seeing' the allure of this guy Joe. I don't 'feel' any charisma. And I really don't understand why these people are following him like this. They should have switched the roles and had Kevin as the cult leader.

At least some of the bastards got killed...

Last nights episode made him seem a little less charismatic, but I can still see his charm.. The guy that killed himself at the table freaked me ALL the way out WTF was that

I was screaming at the tv!! Get those motherfuckers!!! Finally some good, and I'm glad the young guy survived..I would've stopped watching if he died.

Best scene at the end of course when Rodrerick chokes that chick.. I'm looking forward to next week

Last night was crazy as usual. But at least it looks like things are unraveling within the cult. Jealousy, cheating, etc. I think the 'ties that bind' are going to loosen up and Joe isn't going to be able to control people as easily. That Roderick is a loose cannon for real.

Things can't roll smoothly when so many 'crazies' are in the same house. Going to end up like an asylum.

Something is definitely gonna happen between Roderick and Emma, I see one of them killing the other or becoming partners. Everyone seems to think Jacob is gonna kill Emma, but he's still a little bitch. I kinda liked Paul, he was cute and crazy (good combo)

This show is sooo gruesome tho, I was watching it with the lights off, I got scared as shit!

But I love it!
