The Following on Netflix
The Fallowing on Netflix – Ryan is taken prisoner by the trio who kidnapped Joey Matthews and he immediately starts to create a wedge between them.
The farmhouse is quickly surrounded by the police and Ryan convinces them they have no way to escape.
Emma, the coolest of the three in a tense situation, contacts another follower, Roderick, who is keeping Claire Matthews captive.
It’s soon apparent that Joe Carroll’s influence goes very deep, and he has a great many acolytes.
Meanwhile Debra Parker, FBI agent in charge of the kidnapping case, recalls her own personal experience of life in a cult.
As the scene unfolds at the farmhouse, Joe Carroll tells his lawyer that a new part of the story is about to begin.
Storyline for The Following on Netflix
Bacon plays Ryan Hardy, a former FBI agent who tracked down and caught Joe Carroll (James Purefoy), a serial killer who mutilated and murdered 14 women.
Hardy himself took a knife in the heart and now has the scars, physical and emotional, to show for it.
However, Carroll has busted out of prison, and the FBI believes that Hardy — who wrote a best-selling book on Carroll — can help track him down before he kills again.
But that’s not Carroll’s ultimate endgame.
He wants revenge on Hardy in a subversively psychological way.
He wants his twisted acolytes, who follow him like a cult leader to write their own “chapters” by killing in his stead.
Apparently, there’s a crazy amount of people willing to do this, thus the paranoia-generating sensation of the series that anyone around you could kill you at any moment.
Especially if they get a phone call that tells them to do it.
