In this premiere, FBI Special Agent recruits profiler Will Graham to help track down a serial killer targeting college students. Because of Will's intense empathy and fragile mental state, Jack enlists the help of a highly respected psychiatrist: Dr. Hannibal Lecter .
Agent Crawford, fearing for Will's mental stability, forces him to see a psychiatrist. This introduces Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Unlike the film adaptations where Lecter is already a convicted inmate, here he is a high-functioning member of society. Lecter is initially introduced as a support mechanism for Will, though the audience is aware of his sociopathy via the culinary imagery. Hannibal.S01E01.720p.English.Vegamovies.NL.mkv
