“#’Silence of the Lambs’ sequel is satisfying<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s always tough to turn an iconic movie into a TV series<\/a> \u2014 \u201cStay tuned for scenes from the next episode of \u2018The Godfather\u2019,\u201d said no one ever \u2014 but \u201cClarice\u201d is off to a solid, if unspectacular, start.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Silence of the Lambs\u201d sequel, premiering 10 p.m. Thursday (Feb. 11) on CBS, stars Rebecca Breeds as FBI agent Clarice Starling \u2014 the role that, 30 years ago, Jodie Foster stamped into movie history opposite Anthony Hopkins\u2019 Dr. Hannibal Lecter (\u201cI\u2019m having an old friend for dinner\u201d). She\u2019s got the same West Virginia drawl as Foster\u2019s Clarice (Breeds is Australian and hides the accent well).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s now 1993. Following on the events of the movie, it\u2019s been a year since Clarice shot and killed \u201cBuffalo Bill\u201d and saved his next intended victim, Catherine Martin (Marnee Carpenter), from the hand (and knives) of the depraved serial killer in his creepy underground lair. <\/p>\n

Catherine\u2019s mother, Ruth Martin (Jayne Atkinson), is now the US Attorney General<\/a>, and summons Clarice \u2014 who\u2019d returned to her forensic profiling \u2014 to Washington, D.C., after two women are found dead in the Anacostia River, the app<\/a>arent victims of a serial killer who viciously bit and stabbed them both, multiple times, before shooting them in the head. There appears to be nothing linking the victims, but we know better.<\/p>\n

Clarice, who temporarily moves in with FBI colleague Ardelia Mapp (Devyn A. Tyler), isn\u2019t thrilled about her new assignment; she\u2019s suffering from PTSD post-Buffalo Bill (Hannibal Lecter is referenced in passing, but not by name), and has been ignoring phone calls from troubled Catherine Martin, who wants to talk to Clarice about their shared trauma. <\/p>\n

She\u2019s also not so sure there\u2019s a another serial killer on the loose, which doesn\u2019t endear her to her new boss at the FBI, Paul Krendler (Michael Cudlitz). He thinks she was in the right place at the right time vis a vis Buffalo Bill and is still too green, feelings shared by his team members: military sniper Tomas Esquivel (Lucca De Oliveira); Shaan Trip<\/a>athi (series veteran Kal Penn, who co-starred with Breeds in the short-lived CBS series \u201cWe Are Men\u201d); and cynical technical guy Murray Clark (Nick Sandow).<\/p>\n

\"\u201cClarice\u201d
\u201cClarice\u201d is a sequel to \u201cThe Silence of the Lambs\u201d set in 1993 following the events of the movie.

The series opener doesn\u2019t waste too much time on exposition (always appreciated \u2014 it\u2019s clunky and often gets in the way) as Clarice works to prove herself and nab the killer, meeting much resistance from her colleagues and the attorney general back in Washington. As the episode progresses, the third victim is found and Clarice begins to piece together a pattern to the murders. <\/p>\n

The series\u2019 second episode gets a bit more into Clarice\u2019s back story as she\u2019s called to Tennessee with Krendler and crew to help the ATF navigate an armed standoff with a charismatic leader (guest star Tim Guinee) and his adjacent militia group. (Shades of the 1993 Waco\/David Koresh siege, which occurred in the 1993 \u201cClarice\u201d timeline and is mentioned several times). <\/p>\n

Still, there\u2019s a long way to go in to keep Clarice interesting and multi-dimensional while balancing her work with her colleagues \u2014 who will, as these things go, become her second family. Cudlitz does a nice job both overtly undercutting and subtly supporting Clarice, and there\u2019s a hint of something deeper between Clarice and Tomas, her only true ally on the team in the early going. Penn doesn\u2019t have a whole lot to do yet, and Sandow (\u201cOrange is the New Black\u201d) is always good. He\u2019s got that world-weary look you would expect from an FBI agent who\u2019s seen it all.<\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t call \u201cClarice\u201d gripping, but it does grab your attention and keeps it there, with the promise of an interesting Season 1 story arc and enough action to retain your interest \u2014 including flashbacks to Buffalo Bill, which should assuage the movie\u2019s fan base.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
