I watched the first season, and really enjoyed it, up until the final episode. I'm pleased Purefoy is coming back as he was the best thing about the show (Bacon was good as well). I liked how Joe Carroll was made to be sympathetic and quite grey at times, so I hope they don't make him an all out bad guy with no redeeming features.
At the end of the first series I was gonna miss the 2nd, but with Purefoy back I'll catch it and see how it goes.

I thought we already had a thread for this, guess I was wrong..
Well apart from in Season 1, the FBI came across as really stupid and incompetent, I didn't mind this show, It has basically set the scene for future 13 episode series with bigger named actors etc... So I wasn't too surprised when it got given a second season, below is some spoilers from Comic Con
Spoiler
James Purefoy, who plays the allegedly late Joe Carroll, is definitely returning to the show in Season 2. Purefoy was in the press room sporting a beard that would look right at home on Duck Dynasty, and he said that series creator Kevin Williamson asked him to grow it. "I've giving him the biggest blank canvas and all the possibilities he could want," Purefoy said. "Grow the hair, grow the beard, everything, and then he'll choose. We'll decide when we're about to start shooting what we're going to make of it."
The Following will also be moving away from some of the, uh, "less-solid" elements that kind of plagued the show its debut. "We learned a lot of things about our show that we wanna change by watching Season 1," Siega said. "We don't want the FBI to be dumb, so they're not going to be a big part of the show in Season 2, the show's evolving from that. I think Season 2 is going to be better than Season 1."
