5 Things We Loved About The Following

By Jamie Baker /

1. The Set-Up

Not knowing who could be revealed as the next psychotic killer from behind their good-guy persona is a tasty concept. By the end of this first episode, we had already found out a number of the seemingly good guys were actually part of Carroll€™s secret following of serial killers. But who will be next? For the series to sustain some aspects of realism, surely there are not enough main characters for the story to continually reveal most of them as murderers in disguise €“ some new characters will have to be introduced. But I think it€™s safe to say the theme set out in this episode of €˜good€™ characters suddenly revealing themselves as part of Carroll€™s insane following will reoccur. And after all, as the tagline goes €“ €œThe FBI estimates there are currently over 300 active serial killers in the United States.€ €“ no doubt Carroll has rounded up quite a few of them and we€™ve only come across a handful so far. As we get deeper into the story, I think it will become apparent that no-one can be trusted, except maybe Ryan Hardy himself.
