Hannibal Lecter influenced Hannibal

The evidence
The series adapts Red Dragon and material from the later novels, but spends its first two seasons in the years before them, on the working relationship between Graham and Lecter that the books summarise in a paragraph. Licensed from the novels without the rights to The Silence of the Lambs, which is why Clarice Starling is absent.
