Mads Mikkelsen is such a convincing actor it makes one wonder if meeting him in person potentially translates to my last day on earth, sliced, skewered and if I will be presented with a dab of foie gras on the side. Such is his portrayal of the macabre Dr. Hannibal Lecter, cringeworthy but with such Da Vinci palette strokes, one cant help but watch.

Gillian Anderson also showed a different facet to her, graceful , barbaric, unrelated to any of the past characters she portrayed , there will be no moment you will be reminded of those.

If the taboo is a form of fuel to the creative engine one soul represses, this is the material that will challenge you to think, not scream.
