This is the first time I write a review on any cinematographic work, therefore I am not expecting anyone to trust my words. However, I felt the need to express my thoughts about this masterpiece, as I perceive it.

After watching Hannibal for the second time after four years, I can only say that it still impressed me and took me be surprise.

The way I would define the acting quality present here is in its purest form as I'd sometimes forget that I was looking at people interpreting a script. A personal note however is on Hugh's performance that did not always fooled me into forgeting this is a series. He seemed a bit too theatrical in the first episodes (maybe that's just me); I did enjoy his part from second season on when his character got darker.

Mads was truely impressive and I loved every scene he was in. Hannibal's character felt like a glove onto Mikelsen, as I could never suspect him of trying too hard. His presence, confidence, expressiveness portrayed a realistic image of Hannibal such that I could almost forget he was fictional. With all the burtality Hannibal was capable of, I still loved him and I think that was in part due to Mads acting skills (and I feel like mentioning that he reminded me of Kevin Spacey's interpretation of Francis Underwood, which was similar in excellence).

The secondary actors that are quite a few to enumerate were a great fit and their acting really convinced me. For a short series, the writers did a good job in offering a high level of detail on the other characters back story that tied really well with the main plot and main characters. All the interactions between characters had meaning and the writers did not waste any dialogue.

Colour wise, visually and in terms of sound...just delicious and sublime. So much to say about all the culinary moments, that were different almost in each scene, but also the colourful crime scenes that felt like art...and all accompanied by great music selection. I was in bliss.

To conclude, I do not wish to convince anyone to watch Hannibal, but this review was more of a display of my appreciation towards this series. "Thank you for your kind attention."
