I begin this having not watched the latest two episodes, because I am afraid that, once I do, I’ll have to delete its recording status every Monday from my DVR timer list and lose out on something amazing, simply because of what makes it amazing. Let me digress slightly by saying I love this show: Kevin Bacon turns in an amazing performance as Ryan Hardy, a disgraced former FBI agent turned alcoholic, and James Purefoy is deliciously evil as the charismatic, engaging, Poe-channeling serial killer Joe Carroll. The supporting roles are done superbly well, and the story is all too easy to lose yourself in, sitting on the edge of your seat while holding your breath, waiting for the next twist to wrench your heart.
