“The Following” created by Kevin Williamson first aired in 2013 was about a serial killer ( Joe Carroll ) that ran a cult while in prison. He would get many visitors from people who fantasize over the books he would write. What he would do is, he will give each person ( someone who visited him) a chapter, this chapter would be about someone he wants to seek revenge on, The person assigned was the designated person that had to kill whoever the chapter was about. Eventually, he escaped from prison which led to a wild hunt for him as well as the cult he created. This show is about three seasons long towards the end of the third season he was captured and sentenced to the death penalty.

This show accurately portrayed how the legal system works in many ways that show will give all is watching is an insight into how difficult it may be interviewing suspects or witnesses many people have this concept that solving murder cases will be easy however the show shows the month criminal criminals will go through to cover up the crime they committed. Not only does it show the professional side of the legal system it also shows the emotional strain that is allotted to these people who have to perform such jobs, such as holding extremely heinous cases. 

The number one reason I would recommend watching this show is that it shows how long a case could take to solve. Many people don’t believe that it may take years to solve a cold case or a murder case or a rape case. This affected my view of long because when I did watch it I wasn’t sure which field in law I wanted to professionalize in. Quite frankly, I thought the law was boring.  However, this show made me notice how intriguing law can be if you allow it.
