Unrelated to Hannibal, but I thought it was interesting that they're still trying to get more mileage out of the IP: CBS says hello to Clarice, a Silence Of The Lambs sequel series

Coincidentally, I've been rewatching the show this weekend. It's one of the few--maybe the only--series that I've ever rewatched start to finish multiple times. It never gets old.

Just saw Hettienne (Beverly) Park in the new HBO series "The Outsider".  She's still in law enforcement, playing a cop/detective.  It's only the first episode - she had 2 quick scenes but hopefully there will be more.

I want to watch this, but I bought the book when it first came out, and never got around to actually reading it - so I want to read that first.

It appears to be on CBS.  The articles I've seen say it is set in the 1990s.  If I recall correctly NBC couldn't get the rights to Clarice, and that is why she wasn't a character in Hannibal. 

While they may not have Hannibal Lecter in the announced plans, his shadow will hang over this series, and they might be tempted to bring him in for a ratings boost one day.  However, it wouldn't be anything like the Mikkelsen/Fuller version, since that belongs to NBC.  Or maybe they'll have a Hannibal-lite character.

It may be for the best that this is divorced from Hannibal if it ends up a standard procedural.

I just started watching this series and I thought season one was a little slow, mostly cause I didn't care for Abigail, but my goodness season two was so awesome! That season finale was gasp after gasp.

I love all three leads, Jack, Hannibal and Will, all the actors are so good. The show is graphic (I'm surprised it aired on NBC) but the shots are so beautiful as is the scenery and set design.

Can't believe I missed this when it aired, but kind of glad because I think waiting week to week would have been horrible.

Edited to add the music/score is perfect.

I read somewhere that Fuller says that no one's given up on a Season 4. and that a love story between Will and Hannibal might be on the table.

Having just watched Season 3, Ep 10, I have to say that the homoerotic undertones have never been stronger.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Came into this having read all the books and with the movies as my baseline. Had to get through 2 or 3 eps before it started working for me.  I'll probably go back and watch them all again when I finish Season 3; at this point I'm certain that there was a lot that I missed.

Mads Mikkelsen Admits He Got Very Close to Kissing Hugh Dancy During Final ‘Hannibal’ Scene

Quote

“We actually did a couple of takes of the very last scene where we were looking at each other, and it was a little too obvious — it was almost a kiss,” Mikkelsen said. “Me and Hugh were like, ‘Why not? We have a couple of takes. Let’s do one. It might be cool.””

Mikkelsen and Dancy were all in on the kiss between Hannibal and Will, but showrunner Fuller knew such a moment would hit the nail on the head too much. As Mikkelsen explained, “We never went for the kiss. Bryan loved it, but he was like, ‘Too much, guys. It’s too obvious.’ And he was absolutely right.”

“I think we were just stuck on that. And a lot of the Fannibals wanted it as well,” Mikkelsen said about the cut kiss. “It’s been a subject of homoerotic fan art. And for good reason, because they are so united as twins in many ways. But we never wanted it to be a physical thing. It was something much bigger than that.”

Mads got a glowing positive review of his performance in that new Fantastic Beasts movie.  The Variety critic says that Mads is so much better than Johnny Depp was playing this character in a previous movie.  Of course he was... another example of the saying "we been knew".  Here is the review:  https://variety.com/2022/film/news/mads-mikkelsen-fantastic-beasts-3-better-johnny-depp-1235225472/

I tried watching a few episodes of the Law & Order reboot because of Hugh Dancy (and Sam Waterston), but found it disappointing so I was happy to see Dancy pop up in the Apple TV+ anthology series Roar with Alison Brie in episode 6, The Woman Who Solved Her Own Murder. He's playing a detective and even though his character is pretty terrible, I have a new appreciation for how much better a scruffier look suits him after seeing him clean-shaven in L&O.

Michael Pitt (Mason Verger) is going through it.  I saw a story that he was picked up in Brooklyn after he was caught throwing objects at people on the street and taken for psychiatric evaluation.   I've liked him since first seeing him in the movie "Murder By Numbers" with Ryan Gosling, so I hope whatever he's going through is not serious and he gets help.
