Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy delivered one hell of a pilot episode. Aired earlier tonight.

Top comment on the trailer - Looks dark. Compelling.  Ongoing story. Great cast. Fox will cancel this in a few weeks.
Here's to hoping they don't but it would not be surprising if they did.

You'll recognize Maggie Grace from Taken and Taken 2.

Basically, James Purefoy's character has developed an internet following of copycat killers that will follow his every word.
The show starts while he's locked up after Kevin Bacon's character caught him and saved his last victim (Maggie Grace)
Think Charles Manson with hints of edgar allen poe.

Audiences loved the prescreening, as did the critics, however it's now drawing criticism from the media and concerned parents due to the gore and subject matter. Do these people not watch evening television?

my mum wanted this to be our new show but I felt as though this could have been made into a great movie more than being a show.

When I see Kevin Bacon I think of Hallowman or that one episode of American Dad where roger looks like Kevin Bacon.

This show seems like it could be interesting though.

Sort of odd that Bacon's gone down the t.v. show route, did anyone else enjoy this? Might give it a shot.
