Hannibal and Bates Motel this year as part of my weekly TV queue. While they both started out promising, neither has finished their seasons at a point where I am looking forward to season 2.
Bates Motel is much worse of course. IT simply is just plain cheeseball and stupid. The forced conflict between the brothers and the high school beauty queen nearly made me turn it off during the last couple episodes. I'd rather browse online for a jandy led pool light. I didn't even care what happened after this point much less wanted to watch next season.
Hannibal still has a little bit more intrigue. IT certainly has better dialogue and the stories are of more interest. IT finsihed the season lazily, but there is still some intrigue left to it I guess. I will probably begin Season 2, but it isn't my next great show to watch at all.
