I love everything about this comment. Hannibal inspires complicated feelings in me with regard to gender and sexuality, but I think working through those feelings (on my own and with my best friend, who got me into the show) makes me a better feminist, and because I still think it's mostly a positive force overall, I actually appreciate it more.

I second the recommendation for Orphan Black. I just finished watching the first season and am seriously impressed. It's like while every other show is tying itself in knots trying to explain how including complex female characters or any relevant characters of color or the word "bisexuality" is just way too hard and would make everything boring and terrible, Orphan Black is channeling that energy into making awesome TV.

Mmhmm! the reason I can keep watching Hannibal is that, compared to most other shows out there, it's doing a lot better on the diverse characters thing. S1 especially! (i have become frustrated with S2 though - i think it's less well-written overall in comparison to S1.) but still better than a lot of other stuff on TV at the moment.

NOW i'm just praying really really hard that they manage to get the rights to Clarice Starling. she is one of my favourite female characters of all time - and lbr, it simply won't be a Hannibal adaptation without Clarice.

ORPHAN BLACK IS SO GOOD. SERIOUSLY. I just love it so much and it makes me really happy! i recommend it to everyone :)

Yes, yes, Clarice, Clarice is awesome and indispensable and perfect in every way and I basically want to be her except maybe not have her life because it's so full of bullshit.

HOWEVER. Let's not forget the absolute best character in the entire series: ARDELIA MAPP.

Ardelia Mapp is already a WOC and therefore does not need a racelift or gender swap. Therefore, the obvious twist to put on her character is a nice, juicy storyline. Alternatively, her own spinoff show. Or both. Whatever, I don't care, as long as there's MORE ARDELIA.

Ardelia Mapp: because any character that makes me laugh that hard while reading a book deserves all the resources of television.

Ardelia, oh my goodness, yes! Their friendship was seriously the best part of the book & film for me. :D

I've heard about how they can't get Clarice on the show because of 'rights' issues? Why, I mean if all the Hannibal Lector books are by the same author, why can't they get her on the show?
