Such a strong cast for this, I wish it was another network than NBC though as I feel like it would have a better chance.
ReplyDeleteI know. I feel the same way. Great cast and the story could be good. But wrong network. I really really hope it is gonna be good.
ReplyDeleteGod I really want this show to be good and survive. The cast is promising, it's from the same guy as 'Pushing Daisies' and 'Dead Like Me' and it's about Graham and Lecter's early days. But it's NBC and I'm not sure if people want to see someone who isn't Hopkins as Lecter.
