I like it. Itd entertainment. ...just dont try to waste your time "solving" the show and why they don't do certain things to catch Joe.

Wow what a finale.

Well, now we have an entire offseason to wonder if Clair is dead or not.

And Emma will pick up the torch...

I'm betting they are leaving it that way and not doing a second season

Great finale, saw it coming but still great.

'The Following' Renewed: Fox Also Orders New Seasons Of 'New Girl,' 'The Mindy Project' And 'Raising Hope'


"The Following" has been renewed for a second season by Fox. The network has also ordered new seasons of "The Mindy Project," "New Girl" and "Raising Hope."

"From the very beginning, we felt Kevin Williamson and Marcos Siega had created a high-quality, edge-of-your-seat drama that could break from the pack, and it is exciting to see the audience responding,” Kevin Reilly, chairman of entertainment at Fox, said in a statement. “Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy have given us two of the most compelling characters on television and the entire cast is incredible. I’m delighted to have this thrill ride continue on Fox for another season."

I actually thought that was a perfect way to leave it. They actually told us how it would end when they were discussing "the manuscript" in the scene prior.

I thought the way it ended with Joe was pretty weak, but overall the first season was good

Joe, somehow, is still alive. It's TV.

Whether he is or not I think they've lost me for season two.

why?

The diversion is good. Is it real life? No. That's why I watch.

Okay I may watch the first episode next season but after one season down I just felt like it was a bit too over the top at times for my liking and that at times the writers got very lazy.

Watching The Following is acceptable, but not if you aren't also watching Hannibal.

Hannibal is 100x the show The Following is.

I'm still going to watch it next season, but for me, the buildup (i.e. "oh we are just getting started." and "this is just the beginning.") had me excited for the show. Then Joe kind of went crackers. I get that they were trying to show that he was unraveling and losing control, but I enjoyed the methodical and calculated character in Joe. After such a build up in his character, he loses his composure, then loses control at the very moment all of his efforts and scheming are coming to a head because Hardy temporarily diffuses the situation by saying Poe sucks, critizing him and insulting his writing? I don't know it was just a little bit of a letdown for me.

Now (assuming Joe's dead), his followers will pick up the torch and continue their chapter of Joe's book I assume.
