When I first saw the advertisements for this, I will admit I was a little skeptical about a Hannibal television show. I proceeded to look up to see Bryan Fuller who not only created three shows I loved: Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, and Pushing Daisies which all ended way to soon. I love this show, I personally haven't watched Red Dragon, so I can not say if the characters are portrayed spot on to the movie. I can say that I love these characters, Mads Mikkelsen is an excellent choice to play Mr. Lecter. I hope this show does not go the same fate as Bryan Fuller's other projects, it would be so great to see these characters play out.
