I was really hoping for this to be brilliant and like many i find the topic of hannibal very interesting. However for all the good elements to this series it was distracted by too many flaws and repetition.

I personally love the slower counseling sessions and reading between the words in conversation, but i found there are so many scenes repeated over and over that i detracted from what could have been a more cohesive and interesting series.

Firstly repetition of dreams while often stunning became a little tiresome and my word there are a serious amount of serial killers in this area! I am surprised there is anyone else left! And without giving anything away they are some seriously stupid FBI not to get a fairly good idea who the killer was!!!! I know people will say that the repetition is necessary as about madness of the mind as much as anything else which builds and builds but i would argue the audience got the gist and didn't need beating round the head with it to get the picture. Anyway, very brief summary but overall enjoyed it all but could have been a lot better considering some of the talented actors/actresses
