Clarice

Overall this series is underwhelming, the storylines are disjointed and the subplots/tangents are unnecessary and distracting. The show tries way too hard to be 'Edgy', painting the main character as a psycho loose cannon who can do nothing right, which doesn't seem true to the character. A great premise that went wrong.

I had reservations when this show was announced because doing a TV show they would have very large shoes to fill but fortunately they nailed it, I'm very excited to see where it goes so please renew it & give it a chance. Too many shows these days get the axe before they are able to prove themselves.

I've only seen 2 episodes so far and they literally fix the drama between the two characters on the end of the second episode. Watching just 1 or 2 episodes doesn't mean you know what will happen in the series.

And tbh I prefer this instead of Hannibal.

Hannibal bored me but had cool gore.

Clarice was good. First episode wasn't amazing but after I finished episode 1 and 2 I was disappointed that those were the only episodes out.

And by that I am of course referring to the excellent series featuring Mads Mikkelsen's amazing portrayal of Dr. Hannibal Lecter. That series had great style, fantastic atmosphere, and stellar directing, editing, and acting. They planned to tell the ultimate Hannibal Lecter story but only were able to make three seasons out of a seven season plan. So, here we have a Clarice Starling series that had been in the works for years but didn't get the train running till now.

So the premiere - Meh. Rebecca Breeds makes a very good Clarice but nothing else is up to her level. The cinematography isn't bad but the atmosphere is lacking, the characters are none too memorable, and the storyline isn't attention grabbing enough. I give it about a season at least.

Wow. The writing on this, in terms of plot and dialogue is cringeworthy throughout. The acting as well is simply flat.
