Hannibal: The TV Series


As if watching Criminal Minds, Dexter, and The Following isn't enough, another station launches a new TV series that dwells yet again on serial killers.

Based on the characters in the novel Red Dragon by Thomas Harris, the series explores the relationship between FBI Special Investigator Will Graham and forensic psychiatrist/serial killer Dr. Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter.

After watching the first two episodes, the events are set prior to Dr. Lecter's crimes are discovered and he is viewed as a highly respectable law enforcement consultant.  He saw the genius of Will Graham and is manipulating him to realize that there is an evil inside of him that wants to be set free.  If there is a closet queen then Will Graham is viewed by Hannibal Lecter as the "closet killer" and he wants to set him (Will) free.

Will we see the agent become a killer?  I guess we need to find out in the coming episodes.  Remember, this is only based on the novel and the writers have freedom to twist the plot all they want.

Two episodes done.  Eleven more to go.  Airs every Thursdays in the U.S.

Bon appetite!
