Rick Staff Posts: 379	Hannibal May 10, 2013 21:05:29 GMT Post by Rick on May 10, 2013 21:05:29 GMT Is anyone watching this series? So far I've thought it was pretty decent, it has an actor I know Anna likes in it (don't know his name) I mean it seems good but it has to have something to push it over to great that is missing at the moment. Other half loves it. Written by Bryan Fuller, which shouldn't stop you watching it Pete as I know you dislike his work. It is good, he has a seven series plan apparently I read on another forum and will tackle Red Dragon in series 4. Think you guys should check it out if you haven't already!

Rick Staff Posts: 379	Hannibal May 23, 2013 1:03:59 GMT Post by Rick on May 23, 2013 1:03:59 GMT Well I'm going to keep my thread alive, really enjoying the series. Next episode tonight. So far my favorite episode has been ... SPOILER: Click to show Entree. Really liked the throwback to Silence of the Lambs. Also Eddie Izzard was great and it was really the start of Hannibal becoming the focus of the show instead of Will Graham. To be honest I can't even remember the next time trailer from the end of the last episode I think I was talking to my OH about the episode. Have to say we've enjoyed the weird and wonderful murders in it, nice to have some originality something the CSI franchise doesn't really have anymore. All the actors are top class as well, though I have still to really enjoy Mikkelsen as Hannibal. I might pop in later after seeing the episode and give a short review!

Pete Starting your own clone race... Forum Idiot Posts: 255	Hannibal May 23, 2013 1:15:37 GMT via the ProBoards App Post by Pete on May 23, 2013 1:15:37 GMT Because she hasn't answered you I will. Yes I believe Anna is watching she seems to have the reviews of the first load of episodes coming out on her blog at the moment so I think she'll talk to you bout it. Personally didn't like episode one much. Probably will catch yo when the series has ended.

Rick Staff Posts: 379	Hannibal May 23, 2013 1:26:48 GMT Post by Rick on May 23, 2013 1:26:48 GMT You have to watch another episode, give it a proper go it really is quite brilliant. You'll really enjoy some of the stories, I know what you are like. Give episode 2 ago don't wait for the series to be over. I have seen Anna's blog suddenly spring most of the reviews in the last week, I knew she'd like it purely because she always speaks so highly of Mikkelsen as an actor. Her blogs can be fascinating on the show though but if she doesn't want to talk about it here I'll talk to myself I don't mind. I have more then enough opinion to keep the thread running.

I only started watching it last week, caught up on it though (and isn't the episode tonight?) I didn't realize it had started! Because it is on Sky over here and to be fair I only watch BBC shows (and a handful of ITV drama) I haven't seen any adverts so it wasn't until it popped up on Tumblr I knew it had began. SPOILER: Click to show My favorite episode is the same, though that could possibly be down to the fact that I love Eddie Izzard! The last episode Fromage is also a favorite I really liked seeing Hannibal become the focus and actually meet an equal! Though I loved Franklin and am sad he's dead now poor Franklin-baby! Can't wait for episode 9, to be fair on you I thought it was on last night because I've been off work now for over a week and totally forgot what day it was so I got all over excited left Giants Lair early for nothing could have been down there till late! Anyway.... I can't remember what I was writing I left this page up for over an hour with all that written out and only just came back to it... Oh yeah, Abigail and Freddie, can't stand those two characters. The actresses are quite weak and the story for Abigail is weird. She seems to be... Hannibal types of intelligent and cunning and she really looks like she is hiding something but then there are other times when it is obvious she isn't... Not the actresses fault I know but it bugs me and she's just unlikable. Freddie is a poor imitation of a stereotype of a journalist. I mean really?!

SPOILER: Click to show For an episode that basically revolved around Abigail with a sprinkling of Freddie it wasn't too bad. Was disappointed that so much time went to Abigail though and that the Totem Pole murderer basically gave up and we didn't get any real story out of him other then the story of the first and the last. No indication of why he killed others, how he did it or who they were. I like that we get this story all the time running through the series but at the same time I am interested in the individual murders of the week as well and like the one with the lady kidnapping boys it felt like the story was added on to another character developing idea and the interesting parts of the murder story were left out for the character development. That being said the episode was very enjoyable and I like how Will is slowly getting so crazy that everyone is just flat out telling him he's batshit crazy. Though I'm not sure I buy Abigail's "poor me the victim" act, though I'm starting to feel that is the actress and not really the script/story. And Alana is still SOO badass!

Really liked the ending... SPOILER: Click to show Will be interesting to see how series 2 pans out with Will in Baltimore. Also to see how the pacing goes, series 4 is when Fuller wants to hit Red Dragon isn't it so Hannibal needs to be found out and presumably caught. Seeing they've moved off the line of how he was caught in Red Dragon I guess we'll have him on the run. Did Fuller ever say how he wanted everything before the events of Red Dragon to happen? Alana and Dr Du Maurier were awesome in the episode and so happy that Abigail died I hated that character, though there is still 3 series of Freddy cringe. Still upset they killed Gideon .

Some brilliant and unique ways of killing people, really interesting characters and some terrific acting. Happy to see a season 2 announced would be pissed if they ended like that without a second season!

They brought out a promo picture of Will last month or the month before and that got me excited! Bryan Fuller is posting pictures of scripts and all that on Twitter all the time and every time I see him post I squee! I really loved this series and can't wait for its return!

I do hope it gets a season 3 because we'll be getting closer to Red Dragon then. If they can I'd like to see their take on that! Mads looks amazing but it does kind of give away where the series is probably going to end up.

I believe Cynthia Nixon has been announced as being in a few episodes (or at least one I guess) can't wait to see how that turns out. Best known for being in Sex in the City. Yes I watched that show, so shoot me.

I was watching at 3am so it is a little difficult to say how I really felt!
