strupar-66747 I would like to know how this gets such a high rating... This is a program about a cult leader who likes poetry who kills people and he has many people who basically follow him and start killing people but they never explain why they follow him. They just do it... This is just so stupid...They also seem to have some super powers, they always find a way to get in houses etc even if the house is heavily guarded by the police lol And as for the FBI... My grand mother would be more efficient, they are so useless in this program. As an example, they found where the cult leader son was held hostage, so they decide to send a SWAT team with 5 (yes 5!!!) people in it and it turns out 2 of them were part of the cult...Another stupid one is when the FBI agent was held and beaten up by about 10 cult members, Kevin Bacon finds out so what do they do, they send Kevin bacon and the female officer to fight 10 killers!!This program was made to insult people's intelligence.
birgit_schuette How many times can someone "come back" and get so many idiots to "follow" him on some ridiculous quest? Not to slate the acting - James Purefoy and Kevin Bacon weere great, and the show started off really interesting. But it got kindof unbelievable and irritating. That being said - I still watched the whole thing, just got a bit tedious. I think the writers just ran out of unique ideas beyond the pilot (which is the best episode in my opinion). It's got high production quality and good acting, so give it a watch and see what you think.
mamossdi It amazes me that this show hung on for three seasons. With all the ludicrous plot twists, silly dialog, and implausible character developments, the actors deserve awards for delivering their lines without cracking up. But I did watch the entire Season 1. A testament to Kevin Bacon's appeal, I suppose.
Daniel Cooper One of the wrost series which I've ever watched,found it on TV and did watch couple of episodes but its just terrible.I cant find any sense in this at all,you have obsessed FBI hunter,way too much people following Joe and committing crimes which doesn't make any sense,I mean unless someone says that Joe managed to hypnotise/brainwash every person which he met then series doesn't make any sense,mainly because crimes and kills that Joe and his followers commit is nonsense. I mean, IMDb says "Did you know?-At least one person gets killed in every episode"I don't think that at least one person gets killed in every episode,at least one person gets killed in every 3 scenes.
