Bisschen spoilerisch, deshalb hab ich mal einige wichtige Passagen rauskopiert:
Having seen the first five episodes of the series, which begins airing the first season’s 13 episodes on Thursday, April 4th, the scorn and skepticism have almost entirely dissipated. The stab at classy horror mostly succeeds due to excellent performances from the leads, genuine suspense and surprises, well-constructed short and long-term mysteries, and an appropriately disconcerting mood that permeates the action right from the start. Like Fox’s The Following, it is also shockingly gory at times. Horror fans should be pleased.
….
Early episodes feature both a familiar killer-of-the-week format along with mysteries that are not wrapped up in a single episode. The first two have Graham, at the behest of Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne), investigating serial killers. While plenty gruesome, the killer-of-the-week stuff is the weakest part of Hannibal….
…
The show slowly and effectively teases out Lecter’s evil, dropping hints of his true nature along with showing him partaking in devious behavior…
Overall, though, the show steers clear of the blandness that plagues network TV crime dramas and successfully balances that which will be familiar to those who have seen the Lecter movies and that which is completely new. I was hooked after the pilot, and after 5 episodes that hasn’t changed.
Review: Hannibal | Shock Till You Drop
Ich halte eigentlich eh nicht viel von Fremdreviews, aber da hier bereits 5 Folgen gesichtet wurden, ist das vielleicht für den Ein oder Anderen ganz interessant.
