It’s interesting that the film isn’t believable, and that’s a major failing on the part of the filmmakers. But I’m also disappointed that it’s sheer violence. I hoped that it would be something a little more interesting than your standard horror film.

I like this list! Definitely need to watch Girls, Boardwalk Empire, and Game of Thrones, and you’ve made all of the shows sound worth watching.

Haha true! The association is too easy.

I struggled with how to start it, too, because on the one hand the article is about the madness and on the other hand, a lot of people don’t watch Hannibal. It’s hard to gauge who will read the article.

The fan base is small but passionate and the show is excellent. I think it inherently has a smaller fan base/audience because of the content, which cuts out a LOT of people. But at the same time it’s different, and good, and if NBC plays their cards right they could draw in a lot of people who ordinarily wouldn’t watch a show on NBC because they don’t do stuff like that.

The speculation is half the fun, even though I doubt it will be someone well-known, like you said. And even if it were, an actor is an actor for a reason-there’s no indication of how they’ll play the character before you see them play it. Great article!

I hope you enjoy it! It’s the best thing NBC’s done in awhile.

Mikkelsen plays Hannibal a bit differently to Hopkins but it’s a good interpretation. He’s just as manipulative and terrifying. Perhaps better dressed. Definitely worth watching.
