I agree, the first episodes were incredibly slow, but I think the pace is better now.
Chiyoh puzzled me too. I can't recall her from the book, but then it's a long time since I read Hannibal and it bored me, so I read it a bit sloppily. But I think she is original for the show, in the books Hannibal's sister is killed and eaten during WWII, which obviously don't work for the show.
I like how opaque Bedelia is, I suspect that not even Hannibal fully understands her. She must have really excellent survival skills.
Margo and Alana would have benefited from a little more background, but I too like their chemistry. I also thik that they did a good job in moving that whole storyline to take place before Hannibal is imprisoned instead of before and after.
Can you not ship Hannibal/Will? It's probably the most homoerotic thing I have evern seen in a TV show. :)
