TV: Game of Thrones and Hannibal

One is my guilty pleasure (is guilty pleasure something you are embarrassed to enjoy?) and the other is the most impressive show on television.

Hannibal is preposterous, but the preposterous is just what franchises need.  And make no mistake, Hannibal Lector, a fictional cannibalistic serial killer, is one of the biggest franchises around.  What Marvel Character can stand up to this?

Red Dragon (book)
Manhunter (film)

Silence of the Lambs (book)

Silence of the Lambs (film)
Hannibal (novel)
Hannibal (film)
Red Dragon (film)
Hannibal Rising (novel)
Hannibal Rising (film)
Hannibal (TV Show)

I'd say none.  What this says about our culture, I don't want to know. But someone ought to write a dissertation on it.

Hannibal the TV show is the third best of the book adaptations after Silence of the Lambs and Manhunter.

Hannibal the show is far more creatively ambitious than anything Marvel does with their universe in the film and television realm.

Nothing to say about GoT other than I'm looking forward to the next episode.
