Six years after faking his own death to avoid being charged with attempted murder, a Georgia man has been located and arrested by Oklahoma City police.
Clarice embarrasses itself right away. The
Silence of the Lambs sequel series (premiering Feb. 11 at 10 p.m. on CBS) begins with Clarice Starling (Rebecca Breeds) in a therapy session that doubles as a Previously On sequence. It s one year since the FBI rookie hunted the skinsuited maniac Buffalo Bill. Their showdown provided the fearsome climax of 1991 s
Lambs movie, with director Jonathan Demme staging their darkened duel inside Bill s hellish mancave.
Clarice substitutes quick-cut flashbacks that look like bad cosplay. It s a clip reel of fan serviced trauma. Goodbye horses, hello reboot.
