Highly Recommended THE SERIES: Click an image to view Blu-ray screenshot with 1080p resolution. Subtle it is not, but Kevin Williamson’s The Following is crackling entertainment buoyed by strong performances from Kevin Bacon, as an FBI agent with emotional baggage, and James Purefoy, as a cunning serial killer and cult leader on the run.
