halotolerant, norfolkdumpling and dorinda, I decided to give the first episode of Hannibal a go.
Never have I been so conflicted with a show.
On the one hand, it's gorgeously shot, well-written, and Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen are fantastic individually, and an even better double act.
On the other hand, there are two scenes (just quick ones, involving a corpse and body parts) that got under my skin and had me obsessing over them whilst trying to get to sleep.
I should just call it quits there, but the good stuff is sooo good. And the promised slash looks, forgive me, delicious.
Damn you, Bryan Fuller, and your gorgeous, horrible show.

If I was smart, I'd just watch Rejseholdet for my Mads fix. As we all know, however, I'm not always smart. ;-)
