making me hungry for all the wrong reasons

[orangerful]

Some of you will be very happy to know that I finally watched Hannibal. Well, the first two episodes.

If I didn't have to be to work in 30 minutes, I'd probably finish off the first disc.

And WTF why is it not streaming on Netflix of Hulu? Who owns the rights to this show and is being such a dick about it??

I knew it was Bryan Fuller, which was what made me think I might like it, but I didn't realize Caroline Dhavernas was in it! :D Maybe they can get some other Fuller alums on the show...who will then probably die horribly but whatever!

(also, how awkward is the extras casting process for this show? "Hey Bob, I found the perfect part for you! Slightly creepy guy who turns out to be a horrible murderer! I think you look the part! Totally YOU!" ... "uh thanks?" "Sandy - you would be PERFECT as this week's corpse!" "yay?")

Apparently it's just US Netflix that doesn't have it! Stupid whoever-owns-the-rights! ARGH! Enjoy your ability to stream it! If you start watching now, we could both be spazzing out at the same time!! :D

So far, I really like it. I've only ever seen Silence of the Lambs so my knowledge of the character begins and ends there. I feel like the main character, Graham, has enough going for him on the positive side that I can root for him, and it should balance out the creepy side of Hannibal. But it's only been two episodes. I'm really curious where it's all going to end up! It's definitely on the gruesome side but right now the story is working for me.

Oh. I suppose people can use VPN to access European versions of Netflix, but that's a hassle. Maybe it's up for streaming somewhere else in the US? *clueless face*

Hm, I might start it soon. I have the house to myself this weekend, so lots of time to do stuff when I'm not at work.

I'm so much more squeamish about gore now than I was when I was younger, but hopefully I can stomach it!

Well, so far none of the gore has caught me off guard, plenty of time to cover your eyes. :)

Right now, Hulu only has the latest 3 episodes. I really wish the network suits would stop fighting streaming. Luckily, the library has the DVD of Season 1 so I can watch it easily.
