That really doesn't make sense to me - Season 3 has only just started (I've the first 3 episodes queued up to watch) and the previous two seasons have been amazing (and had great reviews / good viewing figures).

** edit **

Hmmm - possibly a rights issue for Clarice

I also wonder if some other network would pick it up (although I guess Fuller is going to be busy on American Gods)

I quite enjoy Blue Bloods, though some of it's attempts to represent a 'balanced' viewpoint is fucking iffy, but I wouldn't be massively arsed if it got canned.

It's definitely very flawed but Tom Selleck and his character make it watchable in general. The grandpa character gets right on my tits though. I realise he's there to basically represent the 'grumpy un-PC OAP' demographic but he's so fucking one dimensional with it that he just comes across hateful.

NBC don't make it they just screen it, so it's very possible it could be picked up by another channel. IIRC Fuller has been quite candid about concerns about it getting further series after each one. I suppose it's down to another network to pick it up.

That's always the hope when a good series gets cancelled. But Hannibal's viewing figures overall aren't great. I'd say it's highly unlikely another network will take a punt on it.

A couple of shows have returned for the new series - Defiance and The Last Ship, both of which are good fun.

Depending on cost, and how much fuss people on the web make about it, there could be a decent chance of being picked up by Amazon, Netflix or similar.

Season 2 of Hannibal is ace (thus farly), I especially liked Eddie Izzard's final meal. Izzard was great and when he said "compliments to the chef" I let out an actual laugh. Like, out of my face.

I liked the Manhunter, SotL, Red Dragon & Hannibal films.

I dont have Sky, nor ever plan to, but I am envious, and hope it does show up on Pick sometime (as BSG finally did)

How does it compare / fit in to the 3 films and the 1 remake?


It's all pre-film. I didn't think there was any overlap for a start but I've just seen the episode where Hannibal meets the pig farmer from Hannibal (the book/film).

Whilst the flashbacks on all the show characters were interesting, I thought the overall prison plot suffered a bit. I don't recall once hearing how long any of the main characters had to serve.

Just finished watching Sense8 on Netflix. I have to say that it grew on me quite a bit after a shaky opening couple of episodes. 7/10

I gave up half way into the first episode. Didn't like the way it was done, the flow was terrible.

A few episodes in, and Entourage is already setting off the "oh shit, this is going to be really good" alarm in my head.

It's giving me a strong Californication vibe.

Also, the series of Scream starts tomorrow (am, our time). I'm going to give it a shot, but I'm not holding out much hope.

I've always assumed that's intentional so as they don't have to keep extending their sentences to make the show last longer!

Latest season of 'The Good Wife' was excellent. Only series left... Oh no!

Stupid title for a show, but the best legal drama in years, with tons of excellent characters, and loads of excellent actors guesting throughout.

Looks like there are some better quality releases of the X-Files out

I've had S1-3 on 1080P for a while, now found S4 in 1080p and S5-S9 in 720p

The 720p are around 1GB in size over 400mb for the previous ones I had

I did the whole of S1 yesterday, and I'm 1/3 of the way through S2 now. I love it to bits :)

My pal had to watch all 90-odd episodes over a few days for a feature he was writing - logging the number of women the main chappy slept with, the freebies he received, the drugs they took etc. By the end he wanted to do serious harm to Turtle.

The first episode of the Scream TV series is out there, and so far it's pretty damn good. It feels very much in keeping with the films, Nightmare on Elm Street and so on.

Obviously if slasher movies aren't your thing then give it a miss, but it's far better than I expected.

Just (finally) finished The Wire, brilliant show and well worth watching if you haven't done so already.

True Detective S2 is turning out to be good, although Colin Farrell's character hugely outshines Vince Vaughn's so far

New series of Suits is brilliant. Finally properly humanising Harvey, and the relationship between mike and Alex is developing really well. Also mmmmmmm Rachel.
