A New Low for Television
On The Heels of Mass Murders Across America, New Serial Killer Thriller Seems Poorly Timed.“The Following” is a new show by Kevin Williamson, the writer behind the “Scream” movie series. The show follows a retired FBI agent and his chase to catch an escaped serial killer. “At a time when real-life killings are at an all-time high around the country, the depiction of such events as entertainment is without question a terrible step for Williamson to take,” says Dr. Ted Baehr, publisher of Movieguide®: The Family Guide to Movies and Entertainment, in a recent article published on movieguide.
