Were you aware that they're developing a "Hannibal" tv series

[Orrex]

Almost 100% certain to be the worst thing in the history of ever.

1. Who would be that stupid, to broadcast such a show?

Oh yeah. The Nothing But Crap network, which I haven't watched in years.

2. Fava beans and chianti for the premiere?

(or just drink to stupor levels of inebriation? )

3. Actually, a show set in ancient Carthage might very well be fascinating.

OK, most of the story would take place in southern Europe, but it would be about the Punic Wars.

4. Heh heh. You said "Punic"

Oh, wait a minute.

5. I've been following this since it was announced.

Manhunter is my favorite film so I'm looking forward to it.

[Orrex]

6. Interesting

I didn't think that it was possible to like Manhunter, so this has been educational for me.

7. Successful franchise of sympathetic serial killer movies leads to successful TV series about...

sympathetic serial killer (Dexter) leads to launching another TV series about the sympathetic serial killer from the movie franchise.

Makes perfect sense in that coked-out cannibalistic showbiz way.
