The third season begins with new events, as Ryan seems to be trying to start a new life and is in a relationship with a woman named Gwen. On the other hand, the FBI is looking for a new serial killer with ties to Theo, which has sparked controversy over a long time. Theo and Penny are looking for someone who can take things back.
Like one of its insanity-prone followers, The Following re-stages the same crimes and re-visits the same story beats in its season 3 premiere, but still manages to entertain thanks to a game cast and the usual shower of guilty pleasure mayhem.
Dear Kevin Bacon, You can stop all this. You can just say you're not going to film any additional episodes of The Following, and I'm pretty sure Fox would have to let the show go. Say you want to spend more time with your family.
The series quickly settles back into its odious pattern: Grisly murders are committed, Hardy broods, and the always outsmarted FBI looks like it'd have trouble handling security at a Tony Bennett concert.
