Watching Hannibal

[przed]

Lured by the evil temptresses 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.

You are totally a temptress. *g*

See, I'm usually okay with the levels of violence and gore you'd get even in your more operative Hong Kong action films. Add in serial killers, and it wigs me out. But I can see from even one episode of Hannibal that it's a special case. I may push through another few episodes and see how far I can get. Or just read up on eps 2 to 6 and then watch 7 and 8, for maximum slash factor. *g*
