Didn't see any mention of this show and honestly, I forgot about it until last night and watched in On-Demand.

This was basically a one-and-done for me. It barely made any impact on me and was just a big case of "meh." My wife and I almost didn't finish it, as it just wasn't very interesting.

Honestly, it felt like a typical CBS procedural with names changed to make it into a Silence of the Lambs series. The actress playing Clarice was okay, I guess. But that accent was just too much for me. It felt less like an attempt at a West Virginia accent and more an attempt to copy Jodie Foster's attempt at a West Virginia accent. It just got distracting over the course of the show.

This first episode was far less interesting than the vastly underrated NBC show Hannibal from years back. I doubt this show makes it past a half season

I just wish they'd promoted it more during the super bowl.

Exactly my thought when I saw a 30 second commercial clip of this. I ruled this show out after hearing her talk. Extremely over the top accent.

my problem with it is that Clarice was never the interesting character in all of the Hannibal "universe". No one wanted MORE Clarice.


And if they did, they got it in nell.


I don't care who ya are, that's funny
