For the pursuit of crime dramas, American dramas will always have amazing and delightful dedication. This time, FOX’s "Killer Believers" really opened a new perspective (of course, I personally think that if it is a movie, it will be more tense). This time, the killer was not just playing by himself, but to train a group of students as a teacher, brought out a team, and set up a group buying feast about serial killers.
Of course, the subject of serial killers and followers is not a rare theme in American dramas. The new approach of this show is that the killer Joe played by serial killer James Bower did not cultivate one or two of his own this time. Followers, but a batch. And the purpose of cultivating followers is not to exonerate yourself or create a more profound influence for yourself. It seems that his purpose is to create pressure on the former FBI agent Ryan who once arrested him, his ultimate purpose Or to realize the beauty of art he has done. It is also clearly explained in the play that Joe is a loyal follower of Poe, so the pursuit of the desperate and extreme beauty in Poe's writing is the reason behind his murder. And what he conveyed to his followers is such a belief. So at the end of the first episode, the victim sought by one of the followers is the same type as Joe's previous actions. But since it is a killer team in a group buying situation, good and bad will naturally be mixed, so it is estimated that prison guards will soon be sold out. And it seems to have been said in "Criminal Minds" that most serial killers actually like to act on their own, because they don't look down on others of their kind. So this is really a contradiction!
But to make the serial killer into a group, let's not talk about the feasibility of this matter. What is more difficult to understand is that even if the type that Joe is looking for is the same, how can we ensure that these people's beliefs in him are perfectly executed? In other words, at the end of the first episode, where did Joe's confidence in Ryan come from? You should know that the thinking of psychological criminals is very different from ordinary people. How can it be guaranteed that all people will not derive other types of crimes and methods of crime? Simply speaking of Poe's roots, this is indeed a bit weak. What's more, besides the prison guards, the other team members who have come out seem to be very clever. So this drama is not so much about how Ryan manages the killer team, it is more accurate to see how Joe manipulates the team.
The so-called "The Following", on the one hand, is that Joe is Poe's follower, and he created his own followers; in fact, is Ryan his follower? Where there is a crime, there will be a detective, and where there is a detective, there will always be criminals. Who is following whom, is this really hard to tell?
