The pilot of the new Equalizer is on Youtube, full episode:
Should I mention Queen Latifah is awesome? Because she is.

I am actually really liking the new Equalizer. I like how it has some of the same elements, but a few new twists.

So is anyone watching Clarice ? I'm actually finding it surprisingly watchable.

Hmm. I still have heartburn about Hannibal (when I finished the book, I threw it across the room I was so mad at the betrayal of the character), so I wasn't inclined. Also, it seems like the kind of series that they would have used the Superbowl to promote and when they didn't, I thought it might be because it was bad.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
It’s a perfectly adequate procedural, and it takes place after Silence of the Lambs but before Hannibal.
The lack of social distancing in this week’s 911 is really annoying me. Double dating during the pandemic?

Wait, let me guess—the idiot protagonist character who started the series off as a probie bringing a fwb to the firehouse roof to bang during his first week on the job was involved?
It takes a lot to put me off a series with Angela Bassett as one of the main characters, but he managed it. (I do like the spinoff, though.)

Ghost Whisperer* actually made me cry a few weeks back. The situations are ridic but they can be pretty effective on characterization.
- The actress - I'm terrible with actor names so we generally just shorthand as whatever show we just watched them in.

No, Bucky has done a lot of growing up in the past few years, but he was on a double date with a friend in an apartment, AB's character went to her daughter's work (at the call center) just to say hi and interacted with several people without masks, and another character went on a date with a woman he's been seeing and then went home to his disabled son.

There's actually been very little mention of Lecter. He gets brought up at one point by her DoJ-appointed therapist, but his name is never mentioned.
the ongoing plot thread seems to be about some kind of corporate conspiracy, with a thematic thread of "things are not as they seem".
