I had high hopes! HUGE Hannibal fan but this show despite decent acting and good production values relies to much on fancy murder scenes that are staged like world class art that would take a team of artist a couple of days to construct somehow one man does it without ever being seen, not to mention the overly artsy camera angles. Not every scene needs to be a masterpiece in cinematography. It makes me feel like the producers are trying too hard to deliver a story beyond just the script and actors. In the end, halfway through the second season even a laymen like me would see that the killer was Hannibal but yet everyone is fooled except Will Graham and despite his best efforts to convince ppl of the true killer no ones listens and of course that has to happen. How else can you extend the series another season! ...I think if they kept it at a two season mini series it would have been alot better. As is, it's a water down version of the movie!
