The final episode is on another level, though dont expect too many answers to the questions that the series posed.

I watched 'Awake' and have the last episode to view...
its probably the best, and most surreal, episode of the series. Thankfully it provides good closure too, but this is one series that should never have been cancelled.

I watched ep 2 of The Following last night and I loved it as much as the first ep. Hope it continues to be ace.

Just watching the Season 2 finale of American Horror Story. I love my tv shows as much as my films.

Episode 1 of The Following if brilliant, you have the feeling yo are watching a movie, not a tv show. Episode 2 is good, not as good as the first 1, but to me it was obvious they couldn't keep the same level of intensity throughout the whole season, however long it is. So far I would definitely recommend watching this.

Continuum is ok. Not too bad, not great, if you have time to kill I would recommend it as well, but don't expect too much.
