    I think they have to give this show some type of award for its sound effects. It's the best I've heard from any TV series.

    I do wish it was more of one continuous complex story than a different case every episode or every other episode, it does have certain aspects that are continuous but not as much as I typically like in a drama.

    Great show. Acting is top notch. Seems more like an HBO-type show. Very gruesome and gory for a national broadcast channel. The guy that plays Hannibal is great.

    I wasn’t really sure about this show but I was impressed at how stylish and well done it was. The performances are all strong and I like where the overall arch is going.

    Personally, I hate procedurals but this one does enough outside of the usual to keep things interesting.

    This show would be so much better if it was on showtime or HBO. Also, does anyone else feel that the personality of this Hannibal doesnt quite match the one from the movies? possibly because he hasn't been caught yet?

    I was kind of hoping NBC would drop it and a cable network would pick it up (supposedly A&E had interest). I like the show a lot, but it'd be nice to see it move towards being more of a serial vs. a procedural. Could still be a possibility.

    I think that's the idea, this portrayal of Hannibal can't be too over-the-top since he's still trying to blend into normal society.

    Have y'all seen the unaired episode? It's on iTunes. Just bought it, wonder if it is that insensitive but it's a show about murder so of course one episode would be a little touchy. Btw episode is called ceuf.

    To answer your question, yes, this appears to be a television program.

    I think they've done a pretty remarkable job being gruesome thus far. There has been plenty of blood and gore...I'm not sure what more you would want.

    As for Hannibal, I would say it has been done well. You don't want to do an impersonation of Hopkins work but at the same time I do see similar cold blooded, calculating and psychological profiling I would envision a young Hannibal would do.

    I was very skeptical when it started but I have been impressed so far

    I'm actually surprised with how gruesome/grotesque the corpses and murder are depicted. I do wish it had less procedural qualities though.

    kinda feels like they have put themselves in the one season getting renewed for another corner, a showdown in the last ep, with Will either guilty or somehow turning it on hannibal...... unless of course will doesnt say anything about working out that is hannibal...... now there is another series, be interesting to see how Will gets off... perhaps hannibal will come to his defense... likely by committing another copycat while will is in custody
