What do people think of the upcomming series that starts at the end of the movie silence of the lamb

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2177268/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

10 episodes, first ill be 60 min long.

Anyone know what dristributer will show it ?

I think it could go either way but im hoping its good.

It'll be airing on CBS, and it's hard to tell from just the trailers they've shown.

It's on CBS, so it'll almost certainty be terrible.

Maybe. Hannibal was on NBC and I expected that to be terrible, but it reached critical acclaim. This may work, or it may not. Depending how they follow her career following silence of the lambs.

i like your optimism I on the other hand will give it a try, the stand in airing on the same distributor, ill try 14 days trial

Hannibal was highly entertaining for the first season and then it did what all of these shows do. Lost, heroes, etc.. Even if they start strongly, there isn't a single one that hasn't ended in disappointment.

If it’s not hbo it’s not worth watching. Yes some of these steaming services ie:(Netflix, Amazon, etc) come out with some decent shows every once and awhile. But there are lots of misses in between hits.

Cable television shows are just not appealing and bad. I’ve been spoiled by too much great stuff outside the rules and budgets and limitations of cable

It's unfortunate, but the truth. They all follow the same pattern, hook you with a somewhat interesting story (using something familiar like a renown movie makes this easier), poise a question/mystery and have that be the driving force to keep people engaged. Then just never give any closure, you keep pushing that mystery out further and further and if closure is given, it's by revealing in the same breath that there's a more important mystery and the one you've cared about didn't matter. Then viewership declines when people inevitably lose interest, and the show finishes on the lowest note of all the seasons, leaving every semi-competent person with a bad taste in their mouth.

It's tedious and fucking annoying and until even a single show proves me wrong, I will never bother with this formula again.
