The Following (Seasons 1–3)

The Following (2013) is a FOX crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM — three seasons, 45 episodes of cat-and-mouse that keeps rewriting the rules.

Literature professor Joe Carroll murdered female students while hiding behind a cult of Edgar Allan Poe and romantic idealism. FBI agent Ryan Hardy caught him. Then Carroll spent years in a prison library building a nationwide network of devoted followers, each one willing to kill on command. When he breaks off death row, the FBI pulls Hardy back out of retirement — because nobody else knows Carroll's mind the way he does.

Kevin Bacon plays Hardy as a man already half-broken before the case begins. James Purefoy's Carroll is charming in a way that makes the horror land harder. Shawn Ashmore rounds out the pursuit as Agent Weston. Stream all seasons of The Following online on iFILM.
