I haven't been this riveted by a tv show since I can't remember when. It's dark and grim and serial killer convoluted, with Hugh Dancy's Will Graham jittering along careening down the wilfull manipulations of Mads Mikkelsons Hannibal Lecter. It's always grimly gorgeous even when it's grotesque, espcially when it's grotesque with a grand guignol somber ghoulish beauty bathed in darkest blood and pathos. This Hannibal is under wraps and contained, all dressed to the nines in his suits, of humanity practicing his psychiatric skills on various hapless patients. Gillian Anderson guests as Hannibal's shrink and she's puzzling, haven't quite figured her out yet.
It's a great show and I hope it airs all 7 of the seasons Brian Fuller has envisioned. Apparently he has yet to get the rights to Silence of the Lambs from MGM, but if he doesn't, he said he would approximate the story line with similarly named characters.
