Watch "Clarice" online and on CBS with fava beans. The new drama is a spin-off of Silence of the Lambs. Thomas Hari's novel was made into an Academy Award-winning movie in 1991.

You may have seen the trailer for "Clarice" in the commercials for this year's Super Bowl, CBS' much-hyped show in which Rebecca Breed replaces Jodie Foster as FBI agent Clarice Starling. The story takes place in 1993, one year after the events depicted in the book and film. After saving Catherine Martin from the Buffalo Bill, Clarice receives an urgent assignment from Attorney General Ruth Martin (Jayne Atkinson).

Clarice delves deeply into the FBI agent's background and personal life. Intelligent, brave, but vulnerable, Clarice has an inner light that attracts monsters and madmen. Her own complex psychology stems from a difficult childhood, which helped her make a name for herself in a male-dominated field. This work also gives Clarice an outlet to escape the family secrets that have haunted her throughout her life.

This is the second television adaptation of Harris' novel, following NBC's Hannibal, based on Red Dragon, Hannibal, and Hannibal Rising. Hannibal Lecter does not appear in "Clarice". In fact, rights issues prevent even mentioning his name.

To catch the predator, call Clarice Starling. Clarice's trailer introduces a young FBI agent with a reputation for "monster hunting." Even if, as she protests, she has "only done it once." Well, that one time (catching Buffalo Bill) was quite impressive.

The trailer hints at Clarice's childhood in Appalachia. She muses, "There are a lot of old ghosts out there." No doubt, they are ready to haunt her.

The cast of Clarice stars Rebecca Breed (from Pretty Little Liars) as FBI agent Clarice Starling.

Reviews of "Clarice" have been mixed, with some describing it as "bland" and others calling it "promising." Here is a summary of the critics' comments:

Margaret Lyons, The New York Times "From the five episodes released for review, I wish it were more special, not just another chunk of the crime show machine. The camera shutters are shuffling, there is a lot of gory footage of mutilated corpses, and of course everything is underlit and hard to watch."

Daniel Fienberg, The Hollywood Reporter: "In Clarice Starling, creators Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet have a character with enough untapped depth that by the end of Silence of the Lambs Their approach to the trauma she suffered is admirably complex. But the series is frustratingly difficult to stand on its own two feet.

Dave Nemetz, TVLine: "The absence of the indelible bond between Lecter and Clarice leaves a huge void that Clarice struggles to fill. The result is a disappointingly mundane procedural show.

Tara Bennett, Paste: "Given that we never see Sterling in the book or other adaptations, it's a shame. Her circumstances and feelings are fertile ground for exploring a great character, but so far it has been obscured by incidents that could have been better and a format that doesn't push the envelope."
