How thoroughly disappointing Hannibal has been throughout all three series.The only shining light has been Mads Mikklesen , although still a watered down Anthony Hopkins, and perhaps Raul Esparza , but only after his session with Mr Mikklesen at Hugh Dancy's farm. I feel, as an avid Thomas Harris reader , that this 'retelling' has been akin to a poorly cooked meal , the courses served out of order and 'complimented' by a rather ordinary house wine . I'm sure we have all heard the old adage 'if it isn't broken don't fix it' and it applies here . Manhunter was remade and was far better for it , but i fear this offering has been a waste of celluloid or whatever they use now. Please please please spare this tremendous story the indignity of a fourth series.
