    Good content/discussion
    I like the AfterBuzz podcasts. They’re interesting and concise without too much rambling or rabbit trails. They hit the major plot points and make interesting predictions.

    Stop gulping on air
    I'm not sure if it's the original host or one of the new ones, but PLEASE stop gulping and drinking in the mic!!! So unprofessional and just gross. And to the new guy, clear your throat! You sound like you're about to choke. Sorry, but the last thing I need to hear directly in my ear is smacking, gulping and sipping water.

    Good listening.
    I've watched The Following from the beginning, and I just found this podcast. I'm catching up -- just finished Season 1. Good crew, fun discussions. I look forward to following along (heh, following) in real time for Season 3, though it's pretty funny listening to the predictions portion from here in the future.

    Best Afterbuzz tv show!!
    All the hosts are funny and insightful. Love listening to them! Please keep the same crew for season 3. I'm talking to you, Joe K. Braswell! We need you!
  • Friscoborn
    Enhances the show!

    You guys are great
    I love watching the following and listening to you guys on the after buzz talk about it. It is a show with some plot holes but it's still good entertainment and I swear I've become paranoid with Mike possibly becoming a follower thanks to Nando. So I can kinda see that Joe Caroll is going to die this season and a new cult will rise trying to follow Joe Caroll's ideas with perhaps Mike the new leader thus making this a new challenge for Ryan and his niece. I hope I'm wrong. pretty sure it's far fetched but who knows. Anyways great show you guys do, love it and your insight. Keep up the good work, and "Theories..."

    CLAIRE IS THE FOLLOWER
    NANDO AND JOE HERE IS THE BEST PREDICTION OF ALL! CLAIRE IS THE FOLLOWER, NOT ONLY THAT BUT, SHE IS THE PUPPET MASTER BEHIND JOE! SORRY JOE SAN AND NANDO, NO OFFENSE WOULD IT KILL AFTER BUZZ TO HIRE SOME ONE OVER 40. DON'T GET ME WRONG YOU KIDS DO A GREAT JOB BUT IT MIGHT WIDEN YOUR DEMOGRAPHIC! KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB GUYS AND GIRL :) DAVE

    It's all about the mix that makes this podcast great
    I don't write alot of podcast reveiws, but this one is absolutely golden. The hosts are superb (can't think of a better word). Intelligent, Witty, Funny, Insightful, and Real. When they don't like the show, they say it. When they like the show, they say it as well. This isn't just a "geeky fanboy podcast". It's podcast excellence. They also do one on The Blacklist that is equally as good. Great job!!!
  • Hectic Diva
    Great team!
    One of the best podcast crews.
  • Pacman_93
    The Following
    I love The Following and the aftershow of it. I love hearing everyone's opinions and love for the characters. You guys are also great on Bates Motel and Hannibal! And if Mike ends up being a follower, you guys should get Nando a steak dinner. Keep up the great work!
  • marcuscantyrocks
    After-Show Fun
    I love watching these guys after my favorite shows (being following number 1) they really have a lot of chemistry and know about the show. By the way Nando, I'm with you - MIKE IS A FOLLOWER
  • phisigna
    Love this Crew!
    Best comment of the night “She had a full on psychic break” by Sanfelippo. It made me picture her dropping to the ground shouting out predictions of the future!! ha ha. The best compliment I can give this team is that they follow (see what i did there) 3 shows that I don’t watch, but I never miss a podcast. Keep up the good work!
  • poet2rule
    Mike - follower
    I enjoy listening to the after show for the following - and yes Mike is, was or soon will be a follower!
  • DaynaWithaY
    I know you love 5's, but...
    Joe Braswell - please, please, please stop using the actors' names when you are referring to the character!! I listen to quite a few Afterbuzz shows, and really enjoy the intelligent discussion heard in all of them. If not for this habit of Mr. Braswell's (that he repeats on other podcasts as well), I'd be able to give a 5 star review. Maybe it's just me, but this REALLY gets under my skin. I understand using the actor's name when discussing the portrayal, but not when it comes to plot.

    Show isn't over until......
    Watching The Following is never complete until I listen to this podcast. I love that they are not afraid to offer their honest opinion of the show. Even if they hated the episode. Thanks for the great content.
  • Pitt29
    Fantastic hosts. Great chemistry!
    Love their enthusiasm & knowledge of the show!
  • BigShane84
    Afterbuzz rocks!
    These guys are awesome, as usual. Joe, Joe and Nando have been great. I've "Followed" them to several other shows. Teresa has been a good addition. I too believe that Weston is a follower and my wife thinks I'm nuts. Keep up the good work!
  • ebeth23
    Nando is right! (Part 2)
    I'm not Nando's mama. I just agree with him about Mike Weston. If Mike isn't a follower then someone else in the FBI is a Caroller. I like that idea better than the FBI is a fumbling bunch of idiots. Mike Weston as a follower makes sense because it helps explain why the FBI has been so inept. And how Weston survived gun shot wound that killed other characters. I love the "reboot" of the show. I wasn't going to watch this season but I read EW magazine article that explained advance in time and it sounded interesting. Keep up the great work as your panel talks about the show. I look forward to hearing your thoughts, theories, and opinions.
  • TonyMovi1979
    Great Second season and great podcast
    Good job guys, followed ya'll last year, great to still be following this year. Miss teresa but what can ya do. I think Joe Carol is thinking that it is nice to be working with proper villains
  • Sucre and tbag
    love you guys
    Great, in-depth discussions that breakdown a very complex, and intelligent show with an equally intelligent review and talk. Can't wait until after the show ends so I can hear you guys discuss everything I wanted to hear more about. Thanks for making my night/day so much better. I'll be listening to/ leaving reviews off more. Can't praise you guys enough. I'll be FOLLOWING all of your discussions. Sorry, bad joke.
  • BoydChristian
    Lots of Fun
    Guys welcome back once again!!!! I cannot say enough how well you compliment the show!!!!! Really great perspectives!!!!
  • dwspell
    Great podcast!
    Afterbuzz does many great podcasts (Revenge, Defiance, The Americans and The following) that I listen to and has a bunch of great hosts. These guys know what they are doing and a do it better than most. Give them a listen, you won't be dissapointed.
  • boe830

    Fun and Thought-Provoking
    You guys are great! I love this podcast!
  • DABLOU
    The Best Group yet.
    The group really covers all the bases. Detailed talk about specific topics, that's what podcasting is all about and this exemplifies it. keep going afterbuzztv
  • Joey1957
    3 guys you have to love
    Still the best podcast in the series of Afterbuzz. The banter, the love of "their" character - all just super wonderful. Will be waiting for The Following to return along with Afterbuzz tv's perfect group. OH - and I do think the FBI guy is going to be a follower. And Joe is alive.
  • DallasPink
    I usually like it
    The last one was just all over the place .. too much joking .. I have noticed this on a few of the afterbuzz shows .. starting to look for other podcast .. I really like when they get into the show and not all these side topics that only the 3/4 people in the room know/care about
  • Crazy Cat Man
    Not Enough of the Show
    The hosts are okay, but try too hard to be funny/clever and more often than not fail. They don't spend enough time talking about the show. I honestly don't care how hot you think Claire is or what clever nickname you can give to Jacob this week. Just talk about the show and let the comedy/observations come from that. It feels that these guys sit around planning what to say, writing bits that come off as annoying.
  • Briahtarpit
    We love 5's
    Thanks for breaking down The Following each week. You guys and gal make serial killing fun ;-). Why are you dragging your feet with Hannibal? Great show that is yearning for a decent podcast. Hope you get back together for The Killing at least.
  • Ginger's_mom
    Love the afterbuzz love of The Following!
    This panel makes my day every Tuesday morning!!! Thank you for such great work!!
  • LLD08
    Great show!
    You guys were a little slap happy to begin and sort of all over the place (you cracked me up, though), but you settled down and did a nice aftershow for the most recent epi of The Following (The End is Near). Is Purefoy under contract for next year? Or has that been kept secret so far? IF the show continues next year with the Joe Carroll/Ryan Hardy story arc, I can see this year ending with Joe getting away alone or with the help of 1 or 2 followers and regrouping by calling on his many followers that we have yet to meet or have met only briefly. For example, he could go to Molly for medical care to deal with the stab wounds from Claire (Good girl, Claire, even if you didn't time your attacks all that well!). Though I'm not sure I'd trust a confessed "Angel of Mercy"! Lol. Or perhaps Joe has a psycho doctor somewhere in his stable. At any rate, I predict the following: Claire will live (girl's a fighter), Parker will die in her box, which will be hard for Ryan because I believe that Joe will put him in a position where he can only save Claire or Parker, but not both, and Molly may do something to mess with Ryan at the end. I don't see how Joe lives given that he has stab wounds that are festering away and he looks pretty hard-used in the previews for tonight's finale. BUT, I have wondered from the first show if they plan to continue the Joe Carroll plotline throughout the life of the show (not sure how that can last long-term, but hey, I didn't think they could drag Lost out as long as they did either. Or Revenge.) I have to say Kevin Bacon, James Purefoy, and Natalie Zea have been spot-on in this show. Excellent acting by all. Here is my hope--I hope Joe kills Emma in the finale. Slowly and painfully. Yep, she deserves it as much as anybody.
  • Dringle2
    Good show
    I enjoy your podcast, I just read an article with Purefoy stating that they have just focused on local followers and that due to the Internet they have followers all around the world they could go to, so it sounds like the show will stick with the Purefoy/bacon combo for next season.
  • Lindsey Becker
    Great Aftershow
    I love listening to your podcast! You guys always have me laughing and I hope you continue to be the hosts for season 2 of the Following. Since the beginning of the show I have thought that Joey was really Ryan Hardy's son because he looks more like Ryan than Joe and Claire was having an affair with Ryan. I also agree with you guys and think that Claire will not make it to season two.
  • Renegade Sades
    A little dry, but good
    Never really get a feel for their actual personalities, so I will continue to supplement with the really funny, yet smart, Baltic Effect show, The Following Podcast:)
  • Rachel W Spencer
    Mr. Eko's Walking Stick
    They have restored my faith in Podcast. If you watch The Following then you need to listen to them!
  • Gluegunky
    Makes watching the show so much better!
    I love listening to you guys break down the show afterwards. Your humor and chemistry is so engaging! What will we do over the summer?? We need a 'rad' drinking game to fill in the gap!
  • Quinsfan
    Wonderful Discussions and Hosts
    This is, by far, the best Afterbuzz podcast! The adult hosts are very knowledge and intelligent. They keep their discussions on-track with insiteful recaps and weekly predications. Their witty banter is just plain fun! I enjoy listening to the men recap each epsiode in great detail. Although, never and I mean never, play Joe's "RAD" drinking game. You could probably miss a lot of work. Great job!!
  • MsBklyn79
    Favorite Afterbuzz Show
    This is hands down my favorite Afterbuzz show. You guys crack me up on a regular basis. You mock the show in a way that shows that while you're poking fun at some of the more ridiculous moments (the pool table!) you still enjoy it. I've taken to calling Jacob "Tag Romney" too and I love the "Another Brother Down" phrase. I predict that Joe dies at the end of this season and Emma takes over the cult in his name. She's the last Follower standing (unless Mike Weston finally turns).

    Great show & very informative.
  • Mikah_Mc
    One of the good guys
    Havenport. Such an epic episode! This show had me goin! Did anyone else notice that one of Joe Carrols followers, is the designated tv remote control guy? LOLZ! Ps. If I was Jacob, and I had failed the mission I was trusted upon, I would have been too afraid to return to Joes. For realz. This is a 10 Bacon episode! 🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷
  • freemdoom
    Not the best show, but the best afterbuzz show
    Walking Dead is my favorite show, but this is my favorite after show. Good to hear a show from a bunch of guys my age for a change. The right amount of snarkiness. Proves you can still enjoy a show while calling out its absurd plot holes. Now do an after show for Orphan Black and Hannibal.
  • TimEady
    Outstanding podcast
    I have thoroughly enjoyed the witty banter between you guys. They guy who thinks Mike is a follower is hilarious!! Keep up the great work!
  • c0rinnem
    Awesome
    I've been listening to previous episodes of the show while at work and I think people might start wondering if I'm insane because I keep laughing to myself.
  • Missysue100
    The Following
    I love your podcast. I listen to alot of podcasts and watch a lot of TV and yours is number 1! You guys make my hour drive to work so much easier. You guys give a great podcast and hit all the major plot points. 5 stars for all of you. I also listen to The Americans podcast and I am so excited that the Joe's are going to be doing Mad Men. I'm a product of the 80's and think your podcast is RAD!

  • dabaze1983
    The following
    Love the podcast!!! I think that Joe is wanting Clare to fall in love with him and then he will kill her once he has gotten her to fall for him and it will be right in front hardy.
  • AppleLovesPi
