Hannibal-The Series
 

Just finished watching the first episode of this new series based on characters from Thomas Harris' Red Dragon. Promising start IMO, I'm looking forward to checking out next weeks episode. Anyone else watched this yet?

What channel is it on?
Thanks in advance.

Not yet, but it stars :cool:MADS:cool: , so I will be . . .

I think it has the potiential to be a good show, people have compared it to Dexter but I wouldn't know as I've never watched it

Well it stars :cool:MADS:cool:, so it's automatically cooler than Dexter :nod: . . .

Sorry, only just seen this post, I've been watching it via a streaming site, it premier's over here on the 2nd of May on Sky Living

I watched the 1st episode last night. Not really impressed. The only good thing in it is Mads Mikkelsen, and don't even get me started on Dr Bloom changed to a female, basically as a love interest for Graham.

Don't forget Freddie Lounds being turned into a female too.

I watched episode 2 this morning, definitely an improvement on the pilot

Ah, never realised that when they mentioned Loundes in the pilot. Surprised they didn't go and change Will Graham to a female too!

It has potential, the bodies are good, the flashback visions of Graham are good and Mads is fantastically spooky! It needs to show if it can stand up for a number of episodes though...

Agree with others second episode was a lot better, but I'm really enjoying the following , Kevin bacon is good but james purefoy is excellent. But think Hannibal has the potential to but just as good or even better, just hope this is not the start of a influx of serial killer tv shows

I dunno, I'd welcome a show about Ed Gein's early years :nod:

I thought second episode was brill! One to watch out for.
This and Bates Motel means for us "horror" themed drama fans, its a good time to watch TV shows. :)

The 2nd episode of Hannibal was a lot better. Still weird seeing dialogue in it spoken by Lecter when he was in prison in Manhunter/Red Dragon. But yeah, I enjoyed it a lot more than the 1st episode.

I've not checked out Bates Motel yet, I didn't like the look of it, but I am planning on checking it out, with The Walking Dead off air til October, I need something non comedy to fill the space

I hated Bates Motel, but that was purely on the basis of Freddie Highmore's non-existent acting!

I've been meaning to check out Hannibal, I'm unsure though so I'll let you know afterwards though I might stick it on this evening.
