Just seen the first episode and really liked the portray of Hannibal. Gentleman serial killers are always strange and hard to play as an actor but so far Mads Mikkelsen doing great job.

Here is the review of Screenrant for episode one:

Watching dr. lecter slice the lungs of the girl and make a meal out of it felt incredibly weird. I can't watch this show.

I loved the first episode, esp how they don't jerk over how awesome lecter is, and actually have another interesting character.

First Episode was done pretty well. The figure of Lecter is portayed pretty awesome . This show could be great if it keeps it up . Hopefully they don't drag out the story too much and keep it interesting .

Thought it was pretty good... Did Mads always have a lisp like that or is that part of the act? I don't remember him ever having a lisp in his other movies.

Haven't watched it yet but I will, because Mads Mikkelsen is the best.

Really enjoyed this first episode. It's got so many interesting factors going for it all at once. It's very similar to the overarching setup of dexter but the tone of the show is much different. It seemed more somber the whole way through whereas dexter oscillates between warm/happy and death/darkness. I'm not entirely sure whether the viewer is supposed to support Mads as a protagonist though? He seems rational and likable enough minus the whole serial killer red flag thing.

Also, I'm curious to know whether there will be a version of doakes in this, so to speak, who saw through to the serial killer/dark part of dexter. Mads seems to have a bit of an odd persona so I wonder whether anyone will start to pick up on it and begin suspecting anything.

This show was tense and turgid. Engorged and reddened by blood. Mads Millkensin was a German lover, caressing, massaging the scenes of the show; while Mr. Claire Danes had the same energy of a skittish nubile milk maid.

That's my phallic review.

Good show, but I think it moved way too fast. Do we get some new serial killer in every episode now ? Liked the pacing of the killing much more.

Really liked it. I hope they don't overdo the "backtrack and re-enact crime scene" kinda thing. Where it goes slow-mo and that beam of like oscillates back and forth while the set backs up so he can re create the crime.

I feel if they keep using it a lot, it'll just get annoying.

I have watched two of the movies and i knew what was gonna happen. I am not saying this show is bad or anything like that. This is not my type of show, i just couldn't bear watching some scenes.

Hannibal will most likely be one/the one they are hunting without knowing it. He wants the main character to go full psycho serial killer so he will try to affect him as much as possible.
