Hannibal

So, like the rest of the internet, I've started watching NBC's Hannibal. It's brilliant, no regrets! I'm a little bit worried about how long the hiatus will be, but on the other hand I also watch BBC's Sherlock, so.

I don't know what I expected when I started watching, but whatever my expectations were, the show exceeded them. By a large margin! Once I'd seen the sixth and seventh episodes, I was completely in love, heh.

For many reasons Hannibal actually reminds me of the Silent Hill games; the same psychological horror, the same distortion of reality, except that in Hannibal the distortion in completely in Will Graham's mind. It's not at all a supernatural show, despite being horror.
Apparently I can ramble on about this endlessly, so I'm cutting for length. It's just my general impressions though, no spoilers except of the casting kind. )
So if you like horror, suspense, a charged relationship between the two leads and don't mind gore or a bit of dark humour, go watch right now!
