A breath-catching, detailed series. This is not a show for the faint- hearted. I will even go as far as to say that this will become the next Dexter. Mads Mikkelson delivers her performance rarely seen in modern films or series and the same can be said for the protagonist played by Hugh Dancy. 13 Episodes of mind-torture, mysteries and a guessing game that does not end. Hannibal does justice to Thomas Harris' writing. If you have not yet started watching this series then do yourself a favour - if you are easily disgusted pull closer a bucket or skip dinner and if gore is your god then sit back and wait to be intrigued and mesmerized. Well done to the creators, writers, director and actors - superb does not begin to describe the masterpiece you created.
