    Lost me at the promos.

    Don’t see anything here that entices me to watch.

    Pointless and cliched. It's connected to Silence of the Lambs because it has no other draw.

    I was hopeful when I saw the teaser for this, but right out of the gate, it's a network show, so it will not only be sanitized, but there will of course be pandering to certain demographics (women). That's a shame, because the character that Jodie Foster introduced us to, is the perfect example of a well written, female lead. Julianne Moore's rendition was pretty darned good too.

This will be a "I ain't gonna let no man tell me nothin bout to crime solvin." I already heard it in the trailer. I'll give it a go, but I'm already seeing problems.… Expand

    This is why the TV industry should stop making these adaptions and unnecessary sequels/continuations.

    The show works, great cast, great tone. I didn’t think I’d like the character of Clarice thrown into a classic network crime drama but I have enjoyed the first 2 episodes immensely and looking forward to seeing more.

    I want to like it better a d will continue to watch, for now ... however it’s so predictable. They threw too much at it at once and for so much to happen to one person? Completely unbelievable. Plus can we do something about Clarices hair?

    There is an interesting drama to be written about the future adventures of Agent Starling. Clarice (Alibi), unfortunately, isn’t it, but rather a by-numbers procedural.

    It tells instead of shows, maybe because its visuals are consumed with the stylistic tics of network procedurals: a saturated color palette, recurring images slowed down to a nightmarish crawl, exterior shots so gloomy, they’re almost Stygian. This is storytelling that feels the need to constantly regain its audience’s attention after each commercial break. More troubling, though, is the show’s tenuous conception of its central character.

    Aiding Clarice considerably is the performance of Australian actress Rebecca Breeds (Pretty Little Liars) as Starling. Breeds wisely patterns her diffident, even shy, Clarice after that of Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs, cloaking her intellectual capacity in bashful humility toward authority that sometimes cracks open to reveal repressed rage.
