Last night, NBC embarked on the 6th live action iteration of Dr. Hannibal Lector. When this series was first announced as just a prequel to Red Dragon following early exploits of Hannibal and Will Graham I wasn't very interested. But, things just kept moving in the right direction. Bryan Fuller? Okay, sounding better. The fact that he refused a 22 episode order in favor of a 10-13 got my attention mostly. This meant, he was bound and determined to steer this ship into the realm of focused, story-driven television. All the best dramas we talk about now-a-days run off the British/Pay Cable episode model anyway.
