Hannibal premieres tonight on NBC.  My initial thoughts regarding Hannibal was that it was either going to be extraordinary or dreadful.  It’s not a middle-of-the-road type of series.  I’m happy to report that the series was done properly and is, in fact, spectacular.  It starts out strong and five episodes in, you still have that original … [Read more...]

Vikings_Gallery_Lagertha_Ragnar-P

VIKINGS premieres tonight on History and I strongly urge you to watch this visually stunning masterpiece created by Michael Hirst. Travis Fimmel’s brilliant portrayal of Ragnar Lothbrok, in the first scene alone, was enough to sell the series to me. I’ve always been a fan of his work and his presence alongside Patrick Swayze in The Beast really … [Read more...]
