I watched part of the third episode. I thought it was okay. Although I didn't watch the first part so I don't know how they open the show - does it show the killer doing the killing and then the body being found?

It sounded a little bit like Columbo. Where they show the killing and kind of why and then you watch Columbo figure out how it happened and the prime suspect spends the episode being really super helpful and try and prove their innocence which 1) makes them look more guilty and 2) causes them to trip up and show their guilt. Although there is way less adherence to actual police procedure in Columbo.

A lot of the time it was seeing Columbo having a good time with the killer and feeling kind of bad that this interesting, complicated person had to go down. At least for me. It would have been nice to see how other people viewed Columbo, this rumpled, annoying person being the top detective in the precinct of the rich and famous.

That's more like "Rockford". When he'd go to fancy places and get valet on the Firebird, and they'd look like "WTF?"(Not the women, mostly.)

Hannibal has been picked up for a 2nd season! I think it'll be mid-season though.

Askye. The show an opening scene that isn't the murder and then do a close up of the murderer with text under his/her face saying killer or murderer or something like that. I guess the point of the show is to show how the person got to the point of murder.

Right - they don't start off with the crime. I'm liking it so far.

I finally saw a full episode. I liked it. Although the white v neck tshirt as office wear is kind of weird. But I like the lead actress.

That's the thing, I don't really like the lead actress. I think I'd like it better if it was someone else. Plus, I don't like stupid people, and it seems that it's the stupid shit that gets people caught. Which is realistic, but I don't want to see it.

I was afraid for a minute that the lead was Ally Walker -- afraid only because she only kind of looks like Ally Walker, so I was concerned about what she had done to her face. I was glad to figure out it was someone else!

I saw a promo for that the other day. I have vague fondness for Kristin Lehman based on her guest-star bit in an old X-Files episode, "Kill Switch". She was the hacker who tried to upload her consciousness to cyberspace or some such. I think it was written by William Gibson? Although the thing I remember the best from that ep was the rainbow lights and "Twilight Time" playing in M&S's car.

I may go looking for a pilot to watch...
