Today I bring to you this new TV series called Hannibal,
based on Thomas Harris’s book, Red Dragon. Only some elements and characters are taken from
the story, as it’s not a direct adaptation, so if you’re a person that likes
reading the thing before seeing it as a movie/tv series, this might be an
exception! I cannot stress enough how much I’m enjoying this series, with its
convincing character development and brilliant plot.
Hannibal Lecter, a cannibal and psychiatrist, is a VERY
interesting character. Although I still haven’t gotten round to reading the
four stories by Thomas Harris, I feel as if though the actor playing Hannibal,
Mads Mikkelsen, does him a lot of justice, with his compelling looks, talents
and accent. I find the chemistry between him and our second protagonist, Will
Graham, very real, and I like how everything is progressing.
Another appealing thing about this show is that I felt
myself sympathising with a serial killer! This, if nothing else, should be an
indicator of how commendable it is. I urge you to try out at least an episode,
and see how it goes.
