New Hannibal Series

[Morrus]

Anyone in the US seen this? Dunno when we'll get it, but any reports?

Its kind of a mix between Criminal Minds and Dexter, but without the wry humor of the latter. Its not bad, but only time will tell if it is good.

Ah, I haven't seen either of those!

This was a great description, after episode 1, I am still watching.

First, you need to watch Dexter! Let's see a darker,modern version of Ripper Street?

Well, how to put it, then...

The show has a core trio of main characters. There is the detective played by Lawrence Fishburne, who is a strong commander type.

The hyper-empathic profiler is a quasi-Autistic/Asperger type who became a lecturer because he didn't want to talk to people who could talk back- he hates social situations.

And then there is Lecter, who, lizard like, is constantly keeping his distance while being hyper analytical. And yes, he is already a monster at the time of the series' pilot, but only the audience knows it. He has been called in partly to help Fishburne's character deal with the profiler; keep him intact and functioning, partly to lend his own insights to the cases.

You should watch at least the first two seasons of Dexter. Excellent tv.

"Hannibal" is a cooking show, right? I'm thinking of having some friends for dinner....
