CP you really think The Following is already better than 24? I thought the first episode was dope. I'll checkout the second episode later.
I'm disappointed the last season of Spartacus is only 10 episodes
Well, obviously I'm a little hype and 24 had nowhere to go but down after a couple seasons.
I guess what I should have said is "potentially" this will be better than 24 just in terms of where they can go, and what they can do. 24 was always just that, limited to 24 hours, they took as many liberties as they could but overall, they were limited to a single area and had to stick to that.
Following can be over the course of weeks/months, different states, cities, wherever and no clock ticking to fake pace everything. It goes as the game goes. As more players get introduced, and more followers come out the woodwork to cause problems for the FBI to handle. The idea of introducing a new killer every week, or multiple killers every week is very appealing. It takes away their limits. If it was just Joe, as great a killer as he might be, it's one man. He has limits. Hard to kill in 3 states in an hour, or something like that. With the web, and access to nutjobs worldwide, he can create so much havoc all while sitting on his chair. How does a goverment stall that, track that, find people they don't even know are coming? They've even shown the ability to flashback and and show you prior events, they could start to include actual killings in those flashbacks at some point as well. That's what I mean by lack of limits.
So if that route is followed (bad pun) then this show could be epic indeed and 24 will look like a daily infomercial next to it. IF, they stay on this track.
