^^^ It is very different from the books, you are right, to enjoy it you'd probably have to look at them as separate. I loved the first three books, and as good as the movies were, they, like most books, read a lot better than the movies played.
Though, how Thomas Harris sold out with the last book to video, Hannibal Rising, I lost a little respect. So I don't really have a problem with them making this series more commercial.
I do agree, that the whole new serial killer every episode could really kill it though. Like I said, it starts to get into that realm of unbelievablity where you just stop caring.
But I did like the first two episodes. We'll see if they can keep it going without killing it, which I am worried about.
