When I saw the previews and the commercials for this show, I thought to myself, this looks like it's going to be a really great show. As a huge fan of psychological dramas, I love this show. Hugh Dancy is fantastic as Will Graham, he really has gotten inside his character. He is deeply disturbed and troubled by his empathic ability, and being able to get inside the killers mind.

Mads Mikkelsen is so dark, cunning and brilliant as Lecter. Nothing against Anthony Hopkins by no means, Hopkins portrayal as Hannibal was deliciously evil, but Mads has really gotten inside his character, and knows what makes him tick, what drives him to do what he does. I love the fact that you know every meal that he serves, is human, and his dinner guests have no clue.

Every storyline so far, has kept me coming back for more, and I will continue to watch this show as long as NBC keeps it on the air. For once NBC has gotten something right. A character driven, psychological drama, that has been missing from their lineup for a long time now. Yes, there is a lot of gore, but it is so brilliantly filmed that it doesn't bother you, it adds a nuance to the show that if it weren't there, the show would not be as good.

Before I forget, the rest of the cast is just as brilliant, Laurence Fishburne is fantastic as Jack Crawford, and the other minor characters are just as good and really add to what makes this such a character driven show.

I give this show to huge thumbs up.
