Quick Take review – The Following 2×13: ‘The Reaping’

April 15, 2014 by Joe Lipsett

There are times when we stop watching shows and they get better, making us wonder if we made a mistake giving them up. The Following isn’t one of those shows.

Quick Take review – The Following 2×05: ‘Reflection’

February 18, 2014 by Joe Lipsett

I’ve figured out the recipe to The Following and it goes a little something like this: every episode starts off okay, lulling you into a false sense of security that it won’t suck.

And then it does.

Quick Take review – The Following 2×04: ‘Family Affair’

February 11, 2014 by Joe Lipsett

Every work week should begin with incest, no? There’s certainly a hint of “families that love each other too much” in ‘Family Affair’, an episode that manages to suck less than usual.

Quick Take review – The Following 2×03: ‘Trust Me’

February 4, 2014 by Joe Lipsett

The Following continues to dredge the bottom of the barrel. There are a few glimmers of hope, but as always this show simply can’t resist reverting back to its true form: a total suckfest.

Quick Take review – The Following 2×02: ‘For Joe’

January 28, 2014 by Joe Lipsett

After a so-so return last week, The Following immediately descends back into shitville with an episode filled with reminders of all of the things it does so poorly. The hate-watching is back on, folks!

Quick Take review – The Following 2×01: ‘Resurrection’

January 20, 2014 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of FOX

We like crime dramas. We like serial killers (on TV). We like Bacon (both the six degrees of and the breakfast meat). So why don’t we love The Following?
