TV Notes: Bacon makes series debut in ‘Following’
Don’t miss
“THE FOLLOWING”: Kevin Bacon makes his prime-time series debut in this grisly and gritty thriller from Kevin Williamson (“The Vampire Diaries”). Bacon plays a burned-out former FBI agent who is called back into action after a psychotic serial killer (James Purefoy) he once captured escapes from prison. And now, the killer seems to have built a network of believers willing to obey his every command. Warning: This series is highly graphic in nature. 9 p.m. Monday, Fox.
