Fox's pitch: Edge-of-your-seat thriller The Following, created by Kevin Williamson (Dawson's Creek, Scream franchise) and starring Golden Globe Award-winning Kevin Bacon (X-Men, Frost/Nixon) and James Purefoy (Rome), premieres in midseason. The spellbinding and intense drama follows an ex-FBI agent (Bacon) called out of retirement to track down a devious and diabolical serial killer (Purefoy), the mastermind behind a nationwide string of murders.
My Thoughts: This looks dark, and there's obviously the baseline to build an intense relationship between Bacon and Purefoy's characters, but can a serial crime show withstand the distance? I might watch, but unlikely.
The Mob Doctor
Fox's pitch: The compelling new drama The Mob Doctor will debut this fall. Executive-produced by Josh Berman (Bones,
My Thoughts: This looks intense, with a lot of ethical and morals issues at play which is also good. Will be interesting to see where it goes from the pilot though, and it looks as if it will slip into a procedural. I won't be watching.
