I was dreading watching this to be honest, I thought the trailer looked rubbish and I was dreading seeing someone mess up a character (Hannibal) who I really like, especially how it is portrayed by Anthony Hopkins.

However I was pleasantly surprised by how well it was done, the production quality was great and the acting was captivating. Some of the other reviews mentioned the pace being too fast, I don't find that to be a problem due to the amount of material the writers have at the disposal, I personally find the pace very satisfying as the first episode covered a lot ground and kept me riveted. My only complaint was that it was only 40 minutes.

As you can guess I really enjoyed watching the first episode, I just hope that the following episodes will live up to the high standards set by the Pilot! I look forward to watching them.
