I am fine with a show that is dumb and knows its dumb (The Following). And intelligent shows where they know it is intelligent (Person Of Interest, True Detective) but when the show has misconceptions about itself, the result is not pretty. The cast looks stellar and is good enough but is treated badly. I cannot relate to any character nor can I empathize. I hope it gets better for the fans but I may not continue further. I can see why people like this show and have no complains for them but based on my opinion, this show loses its pace early on and gets really boring. I can call Hannibal "poor man's True Detective". P.S. big fan of Mads Mikkelson who is stunning at the psychopath.
