I'm watching the Following

It's a decent show on Netflix that was off for 8 years and they just put it back on. It's kinda gruesome but is pretty good. About a serial killer who creates a cult and tries to get at a detective who got him the first time. Kinda reminds me of a joker and batman type relationship. I haven't watched it in awhile so third time is a charm.

The Following was actually one of my favourites, especially season one. What hooked me wasn’t even the gore - it was that strange bond between Joe and Ryan. Less hero vs villain, more obsession dressed up as purpose. The Joker/Batman comparison fits, but this felt more intimate… almost uncomfortable in how close they were to each other’s minds.

I’ve always liked stories like that - the ones that stay with you after the screentime, where you catch yourself thinking about the psychology more than the plot. The private conversation...

@Eidolon Oh yeah it feels way more intimate than batman and joker. And I agree on the second part of what you wrote. For me I loved the second season more.
