At least dexter is every season. Only a few of them were geniuses as well. Also with dexter, the villains are characterized very well, same can't be said for this. It's a new super serial killer with no background/motive just for the Hannibal circle jerk. | ||

You realize the real villain is Hannibal right? Who's likely to get a lot more characterization then any of the villains from Dexter, not to mention that, despite how much I love old HBO actors (pretty sure the creators watched a lot of Oz), Hannibal has a better cast. Dexter also had the random serial killers he spends a couple of lines of inner monologue on before killing him to satisfy the whole dark passenger shtick, in that respect the episodic killers from Hannibal actually tend to have more screentime and background. Mind you I did enjoy Dexter for the first couple seasons, but despite the execellent serial killer of whatever season the Trinity killer was, the staleness of the series soon became an issue, and I don't know if it's the writers failing, me being more naive when I watched the earlier seasons or just a matter of personal taste, but Dexters inner monologue makes no sense to me anymore, all the whining about how hard it is to be him, never showing any progress and constantly emotionally retarded behavior. Anyway, greatly enjoying Hannibal, it feels fresh, and the acting talent is really what pulls you into what is a very character driven crime series, pretty irked about the missed episode 4, but I believe it will be broadcast on some Asian/American network (NBC Asia or something like that) on the 30th of April, so I as long as you can do some basic googling to find a stream or download, watching it should'nt be difficult. Mind you I'd be fine with providing a link here when it's released, but I'm fairly sure TL has some policy against that. | ||

I think he's wrong too I don't think any of the serial killers except Hannibal have been presented as geniuses. The mushroom man was a pharmacist obsessed with the fungus. Garrett Jacob Hobbs was a welder or something. Angelmaker had a brain tumor maybe. It's funny that the child brainwasher from the pulled episode does possibly fit the crazed visionary serial killer stereotype. Or, as Will has to say every episode, the brainwasher thinks she's a genius in some way. Very little has been shown of the investigation into the Hobbs "copycat killer" we all know is Hannibal. That's definitely going to pick up in the second half of the season. | ||

It is pretty macabre, but in a sort of gothic artistic way. Really neat sets, and good acting. I do not care if it is unlikely with the serial killers. It works for the series, and is inconsequential. If you want to you can just assume that they work nationwide and that there is more than a week between every episode. Problem solved. | ||

The first season of dexter wasn't like that and It was actually decent, the villain was dexter and his brother and that's it, the other people were rather normal people that killed somebody or something but not genius serial killers, I stopped watching dexter because I knew that after season 1 it was going to go downhill and from the bits I've seen I know it went. It was infected with hollywood bullshit after season 1, as far as I know, maybe some episodes are 'fun' but sure are intellectually challenging to watch, considering how unreal they can be, that means they are not worth to rewatch, which says a lot about art. | ||

Not that that has anything to do with the Boston bombings, but when something bad happens in America everybody has to be treated like overemotional babby's? | ||

I hope this doesn't get dragged out now with too many cases that don't have anything to do with the main story. | ||
