Review based on season 1 and season 2, so far, pretty good. 'Hannibal' is based on the character from "Silence of the Lambs" and "Red Dragon." Both were books adapted into movies I believe, I did not read the books or see Red Dragon the movie.

Unless you lived under a rock, you know the story of Hannibal Lector: crime, serial-murder, mystery, psychological drama. The drama is well done from every standpoint: Acting, Production, and storyline. Laurence Fishbourne is excellent, solid performance by all.
