Hannibal

I've seen two episodes, but actually one was enough for me to realize that I won't get into this TV series. It's diligently cool and it uses all possible popular and impactful tools to capture the viewer's attention, with an interesting environment, and mentally disturbed or exceptional character types, but somehow I'm missing the point with this style and I see it as mere purposefulness. If I'm being honest, the only thing that really works in the series is Mads Mikkelsen and his doctor Hannibal Lecter. However, he doesn't play a dominant role and, on the contrary, the main protagonist of the series is, in my opinion, a complete mistake and his interactions with the doctor don't work. If I were to compare Anthony Hopkins and Mads Mikkelsen, it would be very difficult for me to decide whom to highlight (although the classic would probably have the advantage in the end), but everything else in comparison to the legendary The Silence of the Lambs falls short in my opinion. Overall impression: 35%. (04.07.2014)
