Some crime dramas keep you guessing. Others leave you staring at the screen long after you planned to go to bed. The Following appears to be doing exactly that, with viewers describing the psychological thriller as dangerously addictive and admitting they had to force themselves to stop watching.

The series, which originally aired on Fox from 2013 to 2015, has resurfaced in conversations about the best shows to binge-watch, with fans recommending it to anyone searching for a gripping crime drama.

One viewer even admitted they had stayed awake until 6AM because they could not bring themselves to stop watching.

With a notorious serial killer, a growing cult of followers and an FBI investigation that becomes increasingly dangerous, it is easy to see why the series continues to attract thriller fans.

“I Had To Make Myself Go To Bed At 6AM”

The renewed interest began after a TikTok user named Robert asked for recommendations for a Netflix show so addictive that he would be binge-watching until 3AM and begging for another episode.

The request quickly attracted suggestions from viewers, and one title appeared repeatedly: The Following.

One fan wrote that they had watched the series until 6AM, adding that they simply could not stop and rating it 10 out of 10.

Another viewer also recommended the show, although not everyone was completely satisfied with how the story concluded.

One commenter admitted they had not liked the ending.

Still, the enthusiastic reactions suggest that the series has made a lasting impression on viewers who enjoy dark, suspenseful crime stories.
