Some critics questioned why the series needed to be revived at all, since Harris's four novels about Lecter had previously been made into five films, while others questioned whether or not an actor could be found to portray Lecter with the same memorable heft that Hopkins brought to the character.

While these novels appear different on the surface, there are a surprising number of themes which unite them. My central thesis explains that both the narrator of Invisible Man and Lot 49's Oedipa Maas are disadvantaged characters, due to either their race or gender, and their involvement in underground communities empowers them and gives them a new purpose.

The film presents the migrant worker's vision of the story, filled with mistranslations and misunderstandings, and, in doing so, the audience's understanding and vision of the story is filtered through her own experiences and interpretations.
