The Following (2013)
Pandering to psychopaths
1. The FBI and other authorities, despite being trained professionals, are incompetent in every imaginable way including they can't zip their fly.
2. The cult is masterful in everything all the time despite being composed of the worst inadequate people.
3. The plot is unrelenting repetitive without progress nor resolution.
4. The characters behave stupidly... utter lack of common sense.
5. The series panders to wannabe psychopaths. If they are too unimaginative... then this will help them on their way.
Yet another waste of bits.
Falcón (2012)
Unwatchable
I watched two episodes from Netflix. It was a painful, character-building challenge to sit through them:
* The storyline is confusing, murky, and meandering with flash-backs, flash-forwards and flash to I don't know where.
* The acting is weak ranging from A to B, and limited to long stare reaction shots.
* The dialog is clichéd and predictable.
* The blood and gore is gratuitous. It only exists to inject some excitement into the dreariness.
* The British accents are jarring when Spanish is expected.
* The lead detective is unprofessional and incompetent. He demonstrates terrible judgment and a complete lack of common sense.
* The sex is predictable and irrelevant.
Falcon is a waste of bits.
