It will take a lot for anything to fill my 10pm Tuesday slot recently vacated by the following - but this is looking promising so far.

Anyone else?

I've recorded it and will watch tomorrow, so will let you know what I think.

womma · 07/05/2013 23:20

I just saw it, it seemed good. I'm going to stick with it. I'm just pleased a read a write up of it in the paper this weekend which explained about it being set pre-Manhunter.
Fingers crossed it turns out to be worth sticking with.

I soooo wanted to love this! But really wasn't impressed Hmm gutted!

Stila · 08/05/2013 00:09

I watched one yesterday on catch up ? which threw me seeing as it started tonight. Anyhow it didn't grip me , I reached for a magazine after about 10 mins and needless to say I didn't have a clue by the time it finished.

On sky planner

Not sure when will manage to watch as going on holiday at the weekend and have tons to watch so have an emptish planner for me to record more stuff

So different views if good or not .....

Great actors and definite creepy David Lynch "Blue Velvet" feel at times - should work but not entirely convinced?

mumofthemonsters808 · 11/05/2013 14:11

I'm not sure if I liked it or not, I can't help but think I've seem this type of thing before, I will stick with it though. I'm missing the Following I can not wait for the next season. I also watched Banshee but it was a bit too raunchy and violent for me and generally ridiculous but my OH really liked it.

NadiaWadia · 14/05/2013 18:48

The first one seemed not bad, so I will give it a go for a bit longer. Did anyone else find Mads thingy hard to understand? He needs to stop mumbling and enunciate! (or am I turning into a deaf old woman?)

Yet another show about murder though. Why are there so many? Must be something unhealthy in our collective psyches.

RhondaJean · 14/05/2013 22:39

Yes about the mumbling!

I have to put the subtitles on when that Mads fella comes on! I think he has really funny shaped lips or something.

Oblomov · 15/05/2013 22:00

Loving it.

Vagndidit · 16/05/2013 20:37

I love it! The first episode took a couple viewings for me to "get" it, but since the 2nd episode I've been sucked in.

Once you actually put out of your mind any Anthony Hopkins versions of Lecter, it becomes far more enjoyable.

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/05/2013 17:21

Finally watched 1st episode

I really enjoyed / now to watch 2 and think 3

PersonalClown · 24/05/2013 17:24

I really quite liking it. (Although a bit Hmm at Will Graham being portrayed as autistic).

Have a few to catch up on but there is no word on whether it will be renewed for a 2nd season. All other US shows have had their news except this one.

SpanishFly · 24/05/2013 17:43

Is he autistic? I've missed something, then.
I have to say, I'm loving the programme

PersonalClown · 24/05/2013 18:28

In the pilot episode he is asked 'Where do you fall on the spectrum?" He replies,"My horse is hitched to a post that is closer to Aspergers and Autistics'.

The books don't mention anything.

SpanishFly · 24/05/2013 21:34

Ah so he did, I'd forgotten that!

dontsqueezetheteabag · 27/05/2013 16:24

I have watched the first 8 episodes (streaming on the computer). Sooooooo good!!!!

Keep watching It's great.

I am actually starting to have a bit of a thing for Dr Lector and kind of want invited to one of his dinner parties.... the food looks amazing!

BenFranklinGates · 02/06/2013 21:08

Mads Mikkelsen is Danish, he was the villain in Casino Royale...yes I have a monster crush on him which really annoys DH Grin
Thoroughly enjoying the series but I wish they would hurry up and set fire to Freddie Lounds already.

dalek · 03/06/2013 09:09

Watched the first two - they don't give the Lecter character enough to do - have deleted the next 2 and series link from planner

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/06/2013 10:52

I'm still enjoying - weird not being sir Hopkins but good

TheOrchardKeeper · 03/06/2013 11:59

I go a bit drooly over Mads Mikkelsen...much to DP's annoyance I TRY not to be obvious Grin

I actually really like it!

Wickedgirl · 24/06/2013 16:45

I've only watched the first 2 as I am finding it rather dull. Please tell me it gets better

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/06/2013 11:09

Still watching

Do kinda enjoy it - want to see lector caught

Mamf74 · 27/06/2013 20:54

I'm liking this more than I thought I would, and now don't want Hannibal to get found out Smile.

It just makes me feel so bloody hungry though, which I'm sure is a bit wrong!
