FBI profiler Will Graham is recruited by Jack Crawford, the head of Behavioral Sciences, to help investigate a serial killer in Minnesota. With the investigation weighing heavily on Graham, Crawford decides to have him supervised by psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Initially, Lecter – who is secretly a cannibalistic serial killer – works to manipulate the FBI from within, but the bonds he builds with Graham begin to threaten his longevity. Lecter is fascinated by Graham's ability to empathize with psychopathic murderers, and tries to push the boundaries of Graham's fragile sanity in order to turn him into a killer himself.

"A gutsy move proven right to start from the beginning of the infamous novel, by focusing on the psychology and relationship of the main duo while complement it with imagery and cinematography to die for, resulting in a well-deserved faithful adaptation of the highest of quality."

+ Excellent addition and continuation / conversion to the original's lore and movies
+ Amazing ensemble of cast with standout performances by the main duo
+ Unnerving yet strangely transfixing imagery and exceptional cinematography that complement each other beautifully
+/- Unique twist on the procedural crime drama but can be too heavy or distinct to be appealing to the mainstream audiences
