Hannibal (2013–2015)
6/10
Falls short

Okay, so this show is supposed to be intelligent -and to a degree it is. Compared to a show like NCIS, it's genius; unfortunately, NCIS doesn't exactly set a high bar. For example, Hugh Dancy's character is a guy who can empathize with serial killers. In terms of plot, this means that he uses this empathy to rapidly solve cases, pretty much single-handedly, by being able to understand what the killers were/are thinking. An innate ability to understand the killers motivations, a few clues tied together, and a possible leap of logic later, and voilà, they're knocking on the killer's door. Besides that, there's lots of other little stuff that bugs me. If I only I didn't demand intelligent programing to actually be intelligent, I might like this show. Regardless, this show has fallen short of my expectations. Oh, I do like Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal though. I hope to see more of him in the future.
