The show’s description reads, “Brilliant and vulnerable, Clarice’s bravery gives her an inner light that draws monsters and madmen to her. However, her complex psychological makeup that comes from a challenging childhood empowers her to begin to find her voice while working in a man’s world, as well as escape the family secrets that have haunted her throughout her life.”
Absolutely. The 47-second clip introduces viewers to the iconic character, Clarice. Although she’s trying to forget her past, her overly-welcoming personality continues to be her downfall.
A voiceover says, “What do you do with all your rage?” To which someone responds, “Clarice.”
