Reply to comment by claimingthemoorland in Red Dragon by Thomas Harris is a perfectly okay thriller with a gem of a sex scene of the darkest shade of violence. by claimingthemoorland

Isn't that the show where they covered up a buttocks with blood and gore, because they feared the ratings board would not let that much nudity fly?

I don't know about that specific example but the show certainly is gorey leaving little to the imagination, the make up work is fantastic.

Might be a factoid, but I guess the show is worth it for Mads Mikkelsen alone, if one of my stupid streaming services ever offers it.

I am a big fan of the movies with Hopkins and tried to read the novel "Hannibal" but that did nothing for me. Would you say red dragon and silence are still worth trying?

Mads Mikkelson does a great job worth the role. A more charming but sinister version of Hopkins for sure.

Ive only read Hannibal Rising and Red Dragon so far ad I'm reading in chronological order but I can't say I was particularly swayed one way or another about what I've seen so far.
