I want this to be good.

Ugh. Why does NBC always make the boring, whitest dramas on TV? Hannibal Lecter isn't that interesting, outside of "Silence of the Lambs."

You didn't like Hannibal or Red Dragon? I thought both were great.

I think this starts on Thursday? I'm a little nervous. Really sick of cop dramas, but it is Fuller/Mikkelsen, and the subject matter intrigues me, even if it has been explored quite a bit. I just hope they focus more on Lecter and not so much on Graham, though I have a feeling they won't. We'll see.

The facts are these:

Holy fuck, I'm excited. Fuller plus the cast PLUS the Sepinwall (among other great television critics) seal(s) of approval. Bring it on, 10PM.

Hannibal is the most beautiful series on network TV, alarmingly so. The people who made this series (including creator Bryan Fuller of Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me, and Wonderfalls) are fascinated by dream and nightmare imagery and visualize it with more panache than you typically see on a broadcast network drama.

Wasn't too excited for this but the early reviews are saying its great so ill check it out.

[Chiodo]

Sepinwall (my most trusted TV critic by far) loves it.

Hearing it's more extreme than any other horror-themed network show, but we shall see. I just hope it's not all investigation type stuff. Might as well be Criminal Minds or some shit otherwise.

Is this even a thing not counting anthology shows?

Can't wait

I don't understand the trepidation in terms of it "working," as if Fuller's record is anything but 1.000. If it's a cop procedural, then it's a Bryan Fuller cop procedural, which sounds phenomenal. I mean, at its heart, that's all Pushing Daisies was––a detective procedural––and look at that outcome.


All of that said, it's a Fuller series and it's on NBC, so I give it 6 episodes. Which is a fucking bummer.

Definitely watching tonight.

I'd say the most extreme show on network TV isn't even a "horror" based show.
