    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gone is the lost the plot cult madness of Season 2, but "The Following" is still an imperfect watch. Kevin Bacon continues to carry the series, now also acting as Producer. The FBI may not be as inept as they were in Seasons 1 & 2, but they still don't instill much faith in terms of catching the guilty (Joe is behind bars and yet to make an appearance and Mark is a weak antagonist). The show does still have the ability to surprise and is still bloodier than almost any series except "Hannibal". Whether it has the lifespan story wise for a Season 4 remains to be seen. Still not for the squeamish and still bordering on guilty pleasure territory. Worth it just for Bacon.… Expand

    We don’t even get away from those awful homages to Edgar Allen Poe that used to stud the show’s Joe Carroll scripts--the new season contains murderous rhymes with terrible scansion such as, “While you lie/More die.” Written in blood, of course.

    The cast is actually quite good, including some interesting additions in the early going.... But the best thing now would be to provide fans some closure, while bringing The Following--and the killing--to an end.

    Bacon works hard trying to sell depressingly heavy-handed material, but The Following seems poised to remain one of the most unpleasant watches on television. [6 Mar 2015, p.74]
