Try as you might, “The Following”, you shan’t resist the charms of the ‘procedural’ for long! No! I won’t! I’ll never join you! You will. It’s in your script, your writing, your direction. You can’t fight your producers. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo- It’s too late. The transformation has been creeping up on you little by little. The rebellions…
