ChevyVanMiller Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Show is currently 4 episodes in. I've been watching and am still on the fence about the series. It is very graphic for network TV, close to HBO or Showtime level violence and gore. Has interesting Edgar Allen Poe/literary angle. Just wondering if anyone is watching and what you think?

outsidethebox Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) I am watching, I love it. It is a bit graphic. Hoping it will last. Don't know how far you can carry a show like this though. Once you catch them, the show is over? Edited February 15, 2013 by westside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that if the ratings are strong they will introduce a new cult leader each season (kinda like the Dexter formula for villains).

Dr. Fong Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I'm watching. I like it so far. Everyone seems really non-committal about the show, but I'm on board. I like it. Is it the best show on TV? No. But it's better than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I've only watched two episodes, but I am intrigued. Kevin Bacon is an underrated actor, and James Purefoy is very creepy in this. I too am surprised that this is on network television and at 9:00 p.m. The challenge will be if this show can have longevity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I've watched every episode and I'm just numb. There is really nothing to root for and it really isn't that deep. But I like Bacon and it's pretty mindless TV that is watchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I have the episodes recorded but haven't started watching yet. My wife and I are currently catching up with season 3 of The Walking Dead, after spending the previous several weeks burning through all 4.5 seasons of Breaking Bad.

outsidethebox Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 This show is so bad. Anyone else watching this mess? This show had so much promise. Is it possible to jump the shark in the first season? I can't believe I got suckered into this trash. I am a fan of Kevin Bacon, but he must be hard up for money to sign up for this garbage.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 It had so much promise but I find that the more episodes that air, the dumber it gets. Dumbest part of the show is that the killer had SOOOOOOOO many visitors in prision. Too many for someone who was on death row in a maximum security prision. Seems like he spends more time chatting with visitors than in his cell. Also, if this was real life, I am sure the guards would have suspected something or at least had his visits recorded. I doubt that they would just leave him alone in privacy to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyVanMiller Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Just watched the latest episode on TiVo and I'm just about done. Any show of this ilk requires you to suspend disbelief, but this one takes it to the outer limits. Aside from the many visits in jail already mentioned, what is too hard to swallow is the fact that this guy was able to, from behind bars with limited access, convince so many people to set up, year's in the making, alibis and planning that would allow them to snap into vicious killing mode at his signal. Only, the ex-wife is keeping me coming back at this point. Don't know who the actress is, but she is very easy on the eyes. I'm watching it, but Kevin Bacon isn't here. Nice, you'd think I'd mind my sentence structure better being a writer and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I thought the first episode was well done. It has regressed further with each episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I barely made it through the first one, and decided against watching further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a TV show and you have to suspend disbelief, but now it's getting ridiculous. More ridiculous than "24" ever was, but that show was just so damn good you could not take your eyes off it. What is it with these agents always yelling "FREEZE" or "DROP IT" to the criminals?! Shoot first ask questions later! You know what kind of people you are dealing with. I'll still keep watching because I like Kevin Bacon and I hope it can get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
