TV Series Worth Watching.

Banshee.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2017109/

Quote:Lucas Hood (Antony Starr), an ex-con and master thief assumes the identity of a murdered sheriff where he continues his criminal activities. His past seems to haunt him by those he betrayed years earlier. This ex-con imposes his own brand of justice where violence erupts at every turn in the not so quiet Amish town, Banshee, Pennsylvania.

Currently recording this. Its on Sky Atlantic and is three episodes in. So far its a good ride and worth catching up with. We have an anti-hero (Hood) who is ending up doing the right thing but for the wrong reasons. His past is being drip fed each episode and there are some good characters in it so plenty going on. It's fairly violent. So far so good for me.

Hannibal

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2243973/

Quote:Explores the early relationship between the renowned psychiatrist and his patient, a young FBI criminal profiler, who is haunted by his ability to empathize with serial killers.

I've got to say I'm a Hannibal fan. I watched 'Manhunter' (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091474/) in the 90's which was the first introduction to Dr Lecter and Will Graham before the Silence of the Lambs.

This series is pretty much a prequel to Silence of the Lambs where agent Will Graham works with Dr Lecter. I've only seen the first episode but enjoyed it and am looking forward to the second (recorded and waiting for a chance to watch this weekend). Mads Mikkelsen who plays Lecter is perfect for the part. He was Le Chiffre in Quantum of Solice and his looks and demeanour really suit this role. Hugh Dancy looks a good choice for Will Graham too.

Another series worth recording if you get the chance.
