The Following (2013)
I have mixed feelings about this series. The premise is perfect and decently developed in the first and second season. The main villain is played by James Purefoy, which was a great choice, just like the casting of Kevin Bacon. But it’s beyond me why the first season makes every FBI agent or policeman come off as an unintelligent ignoramus. Another problem for me were the constant flashbacks. After a while, I thought I was going to see Agent Hardy making toast in 1986. The second season felt more balanced if it hadn't been for the terribly handled ending. The third season was a downright disappointment. The writers seemed to have taken the best of the first and second seasons and added everything they could think of. The density of serial killers per hectare was abnormal, as well as the amount of sappy clichéd dialogue.
