STALKER
October 1, 2014  | By David Bianculli

CBS, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

SERIES PREMIERE: Warning, warning, danger, danger! This is not a recommendation – it’s a big fat warning. Scream creator Kevin Williamson pushed the bounds of both logic and taste when plotting and producing The Following, Fox’s mean-spirited drama about a serial killer. That show appeared to get more delight in sadistically disposing of characters, and from the point of view of the psychotic killers – and Stalker, in its very first repugnant scene, ups that ante in a disgusting way, having a masked character assault and murder a young woman by dousing her with gasoline and setting her on fire. Do not watch. Dylan McDermott and Maggie Q star – but not, I’m guessing, for long.
