Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh, Killing Eve
We’re not saying Killing Eve is “Hannibal with ladies” however typically Killing Eve feels quite a bit like “Hannibal with ladies.” Based mostly on novels by Luke Jennings, the collection stars Sandra Oh as Eve Polastri, a low-level officer for MI5 who’s freakishly in tune with (to the purpose of obsession) a well-dressed, skilled murderer named Villanelle (Emmy winner Jodie Comer).

Pushing Daisies
Watch it on: CW Seed
Pushing Daisies
Of all of the exhibits on this checklist, Pushing Daisies is the least like Hannibal. In actual fact, the one frequent threads are collection creator Bryan Fuller and a deal with memorable and classy murders. However simply because the collection differs in tone and coloration palette — the collection exists in a Technicolor storybook world — doesn’t suggest viewers should not test it out. In Pushing Daisies, Lee Pace stars as Ned, a pie-maker with the distinctive capacity to carry the lifeless again to life with a single contact — and ship them again to the grave with a second. He groups up with a personal eye (Chi McBride) to assist resolve some wild and unusual murders so as to make more cash, and while you add in a childhood sweetheart he saved and now cannot contact (Anna Friel), a coworker with an unrequited crush and a fantastic set of pipes (Kristin Chenoweth), and an lovely canine, the quirky present identified for its distinct visible type and wordplay is a whimsical delight. It is a disgrace it in the end grew to become a casualty of the 2007-2008 writers’ strike and solely ran for 2 seasons, as a result of it was not like anything on TV.
