I have watched this show twice so far, and the second time was just as exciting and thrilling as the first time, or even better. Films empathize on psychology have always been my favorite kind, and this particular show have meet almost all the highest standards in my mind. Some think that it doesn't fit the the Hannibal character in those films or novels made before, but if you put that aside,I've got to say, this show basically blows all those out of the water. The show Dexter get 8.9 and Hannibal only 8.4well this is crazy.

What I want to say most though,are not the perfect taste, the dynamics between characters or how classic and elegant the show is as many viewers have already reckoned, but this, the concept of 'Empathy'. Hannibal's living a perfectly fulfilling life based on his outstanding intelligence, considering his taste and interest are intolerable by the society. But the existence of a person with the capacity of understanding him, a troubled individual between the dark side and the moral values rooted in himself, a kind of struggle Hannibal don't have yet could comprehend, get him involved in a series of contingencies, and thus the show began.

So at some level, I love season 2 more than 1 because the interaction between the two characters got more frequent and intimate. As sophisticated as Hannibal, he couldn't resist the inclination of intimacy, or more bluntly, of not being alone. But it got him weak, at least at some point, which led to a somewhat tragic ending of season 2.

The lines, especially those only involve Will and Lecter, are so beautifully presented, so you can feel the tensions between the two characters vividly. Though it's always vague, subtle and complex in the extreme and requires strong focus, but if you give it time and think deep into it ,you'll find yourself trapped in those words and emotions and couldn't even get out.

The moment I decided to write a review I found the depth of this show has somewhat beyond my expression and language skills, so I can't emphasize how much I love it. It's the perfect show in my mind.
