Brilliant show! easily in my top 10 all time favorite tv shows of all time.

At first I was skeptical of another playing other then Anthony H playing Hannibal, but this guy is amazing! Oh and FINALLY a positive depiction of Aspergers on tv.

Is it really, Yvette? Why is it so good?

I'm a big fan of Anthony Hopkins and his character (and the first 3 films). How is this character/cast different?

The man who plays Hannibal should have a nordic accent and a flat, monotone voice based on his performance in Casino Royale.....I would be afraid that Hopkins owns this character too deep.

Only seen 3 episodes. Not yet hooked. Still trying to get into the show but maybe after a few more episodes I will

A promising first episode, I thought. I wouldn't be surprised if the show was binned off before reaching anything resembling a conclusion, but we'll see how it goes.

The show needs to hurry up and come back already

^ I agree. I didn't think I would be into the tv series but I love it. It's great. The characters are fantastic, the acting is fantastic. I also give props for how they treat females in the show, some male characters from the books have been changed to female because Bryan Fuller wanted more females in the show, and not just as victims, like a lot of other crime shows use women to be - I think I've seen more male victims rather than female.

I really hope it doesn't get cancelled though, Bryan has done some amazing shows but they seem to get cancelled after a few seasons, even when critics love the show.

Which hannibal do you guys like better- Hopkins or Mads?

 

I obviously like Hopkins better but Mads does a good job anyway.

 

I definitely feel like Mads is overdressed for the character.  He's too gaudy.  I feel like it's not appropriate for the character at all.  He's not a gangster with a pimp cane.  He's supposed to enjoy these things "internally" and not need to dress flashy just to attract attention.

Old post but I was surprised to see so many scenes and characters from the films reappear in the TV show (eg. manhunter/red dragon and hannibal)
