This series is quite brilliant on many levels. The acting is superb, the visuals are stunning and the story lines are intense. I can hardly wait until the episode comes out, but that feeling isn't induced by operatic cliffhangers. Yes, there are twists and turns in the plot, and they're also quite brilliant, but the overall feel of this series and suspense got me more hooked than for instance True Detectives did. The main actors are matched by their entire supporting cast, the score is amazing, and for a fan of Hopkins' Hannibal (plus the prequel), this does not let me down. In fact, Will Graham has never been better portrayed in my opinion. No Benjamin Raspails in this orchestra. May this series live a long long life (no pun intended).
