I was wary of how the novel 'Red Dragon' was going to be portrayed as a TV series. But after only 3 episodes I am totally in awe of the adaptation and the wonderful acting. So far, 'Hannibal' has been deliciously intriguing and entertaining.

The main cast selection is quite remarkable...each character and actor fluidly blend with it each other. The overall dialog is also very intelligent.

Congratulations to Bryan Fuller for developing this series and many thanks to NBC for ordering a complete season. I can easily say that Hannibal is better and stronger than the other show in this time slot.

Mads Mikkelsen is a natural Hannibal Lector..in a style that is different than Anthony Hopkins, but very convincing. Laurence Fishburne's character's overall temperament as an FBI profiler fits the script. Hugh Dancy as Will Graham is a great lead character...so many facets waiting to comes forth. I can't wait to see how well he works with Mikkelsen through out the series.

Overall, it is an impressive presentation and I recommend it to viewers looking for something a bit different in the horror genre.
