OK, So I've been watching "The Following" and though it's pretty good there are some giganticly impossible scenarios unfolding here.
For instance.
Kevin Bacon's character goes into the house that the cult has been using and he is attacked by the guy in the mask, who hits him and then shockingly, escapes. Now when he drove up to the house Bacon was with 20 cops, yet this guy was not only able to knock Kevin Bacon out but he was able to run out of the house, wearing a mask, without being seen by anyone.
The guy in the mask, who they were able to identify, is married and they take the wife into questioning for roughly 2 hours and then, inexplicable release her. Only after she goes back home (with one cop as a guard no less) it is then discovered that she is in on the plot, but not before she stabs her "guard" in the neck with a knife. She too escapes Kevin Bacon's character, despite being 10 feet from him when he shoots her husband.
I still like the show, it's weird, violent and though predictable at times it's really creepy and they push the envelope.
