i tried my best to hate on it, but it's incredibly watchable. i'm not hooked yet. like, if i never saw another episode, i wouldn't march on washington to get it picked up by TNT. but if i'm watching TV thursday night at 10, it's hannibal.

it's way too graphic and dark to ever do real numbers, but it'll do NBC one better than that-- it'll help them rebuild their brand. way more important for them than the viewership right now. NBC just needs to get (and keep) some good television on the air, if only to prove they still can.
