Re: Rather off topic, but I thought I'd ask anyway

It's possible they'll never get the rights to Jame Gumb, but if they do, I imagine they'll put as much thought into that depiction as they do everything else. Gumb wasn't intended as a truly transgender person in either the book or the movie, but the movie's imagery was obviously a lot more powerful than a couple lines of dialogue (and a deleted scene I wasn't aware of but wikipedia says is on the dvd). They've already modernized and switched up a lot of things to bring the source material out of the 80s (particularly with diversifying the cast) and make this elaborate alternate backstory work, so I would think avoiding bad connotations or implications would be part of that. I couldn't say exactly what will happen later, but the motives of the killers on the show tend to be more abstract and creative than in most other crime fiction I've seen. Or in the nonfiction, even. Bryan Fuller has said he has no interest in depicting rape, which is part of what fuels a lot of serial murder, so it tends toward more far-out, interesting stuff. I wouldn't really call it mystery because most of the focus is on the effects the murders and their perpetrators have on the characters rather than the procedural element (so much that some people get disappointed at not learning more about murderer x or y), so the character study and drama is very strong. They say Season 2 is going to be a wilder ride, but Season 1 is a slow psychological burn. Can't recommend it highly enough, and feel free to ask about anything else you want to know.

No rape, you say? Serial killers with motives other than rape? YES! That combined with "the character study and drama is very strong" and "slow psychological burn" just convinced me to watch this show.

Absolutely! It really immerses you in Will's and Hannibal's lives, and you get all this intensity and intimacy with their interactions, especially in the therapy scenes. It was just announced that season 2 starts February 28th, and this is a show that benefits hugely from rewatching (plus it's only 13 episodes a season), so there's still plenty of time for that if you do end up liking it.
