Although this series is slow-paced and a bit weird at first with dream-like imagery and might take a bit of adjustment from normal network shows, the performances and relationships developed are outstanding. There's currently nothing like it that was released in the last few years.

The series finale and the Red Dragon's six episodes were particularly drawing. I was already a big fan of Richard Armitage, and thought his performance as Francis Dolarhyde was electrifying. Armitage managed to pull off a painful vulnerability struggling with a dark power that I thought was brilliant. I can't wait for Bryan Fuller's next series!
