Well in that case, I will continue and get up to speed on this.

Glad to hear it improves, as the fourth episode was very much like the second - lots of filler about bit part characters who only last one episode.

As a viewer, you just don't care about these characters - in the 40 minutes available there's not enough time to give them any depth and the main plot line is much more interesting, but is just fitted around the episode's plot.

The main characters are great, I'm totally hooked on finding out what happens to them, but there's just so little progress in some of the episodes.

Can anyone suggest where I might be able to view the remaining episodes ahead of time?

I'm sick of having to wait for months after their original airing and then have to watch them one per week - I'd gladly pay say £20 each to be able to watch several US series when I want and without adverts and without having to wait for over a year after its release in the US and it being aired in the UK, but for some reason this is not an option.

I had a look around and couldn't find anywhere so have gone to eztv dot it to get them as they get uploaded.

Had a bit of a session last night and caught up to Episode 9. It definitely does get better and I'm now hooked.

The "serial killer wrapped up in one episode" format is getting a bit boring though - the main characters are so well portrayed that I find I have no interest in learning about this week's killer.

Episode 10 is aired in the US tonight isn't it - so hopefully should be available tomorrow?

Just watched episode 10 - it is starting to get properly tense!

Do we know what happened to Crawford's trainee agent yet? A couple of episodes ago it focussed on her and they found her arm, but that's the last we've seen of her? Just wondering if I've missed something.

Despite fairly poor ratings, it's been renewed for another season of 13 episodes smile

Good news as there's talk of including some of the characters from the films in the later series if they can secure the rights.

rsv gone!

It's been very well received by the critics. Viewing figures are the ratings I mean, as in ratings wars etc...

Eddie Izzard made an appearance last night interviewed in a very Anthony Hopkins Lector manner, only missed off the bit about Chianti.

Very good.


I also have to say I prefer the TV version of Freddie Lounds smile

I like it too, he has an air of educated menace about him.

+1

I think he suits the role better than the Welshman.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel really hungry after watching each episode?

Loving the series though although the Glasgow Smile episode made me jump a few times...

Anyone else having trouble understanding a word Hannibal says? He mumbles frown

I've downloaded the series so far, but only watched 4 episodes because I can't understand him.

I don't have any problems understanding him either. smile

Just seen the last episode of the first season - can't wait for the second.

I'm surprised it hasn't been more popular in the UK, it's a slow starter, but gets properly gripping about halfway through.

That was a great ending to the series. Can't wait for S2.
