A new month means the biggest streaming service adds a bunch more movies and shows to its lineup. If you’re still winding down from the post-holiday chaos, there are plenty of new additions worth adding to your Netflix watchlist this week, and that includes “The Following.” Originally airing on Fox from 2013 to 2015, this crime thriller ran for three seasons, with a story that gets darker with every episode.
“The Following” isn’t exactly original TV, given how many crime shows revolve around serial killers and police chases, but the storytelling is full of clever reversals and surprises that keep the tension high. Add in one of Kevin Bacon’s most intense roles to date, and you have a gripping show that makes for great weekend (or evening) viewing. With 45 episodes now streaming on Netflix, you won’t run out of suspense anytime soon.
