What a good idea. Hannibal was a great show and the casting felt spot on. I loved the ending, which makes a rewatch that much better. Gore for it's own sake isn't my thing but the psychological aspects made it so much more.

Sounds good! Excited to bust open my Thomas Harris books and be a giant nerd about how much Fuller obvs loves the source material.

I'd like to hear this! I read Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon a long time ago but i don't remember much.

But the moment Mads Mikkelsen shows up it just becomes a completely different show, and all the better for it.

I think this is what made me fall in love with the show. It feels like any other crime show until Mads shows up. He's a looming presence, the monster just off screen in every scene. I also appreciate that the writers understand that we're watching a show about Hannibal Lecter and we all know who he is. We don't need to be teased or get his life story. In a TV-land where apparently 1 out of 10 people is a crazed serial killer he's still the scariest person in the room.

Also, Laurence Fishburne is a big guy but he looks huge to me on this show.
