whoami: I am in my 40's, love almost all genres of movies but especially drama, scifi, fantasy, action, horror, chick flicks, and cartoons.

Silence of the lambs was brilliant. Every Hannibal movie afterwards was disappointing. Like so many others, I went into season 1 with apprehension. But this is series that will be legendary one day, much like the T.V. show Profit is. This is way ahead of its time. Great acting, great story that makes your think and horrifies you.

There are other similarly violent shows i enjoy today like walking dead, Game of thrones, and most medical shows, but this is different. It makes me think so much, testing my anticipation abilities, and build suspense (a lost art). If each show was a 1hr movie, they would still be great.

If you like a show where the characters don't necessarily have to die (G.O.T.) but change in front of your eyes, this is the show for you. If you like a little fear, a little suspense, and serious gore, this is the show for you. Enjoy while it lasts, there aren't enough of us watching to keep it around for much longer.
