I've been a huge fan of the Hannibal franchise. I've seen all the movies and was excited to see a show coming out. I watched it and was not disappointed in any sense.

The acting? Superb The sets? GORGEOUS The effects? Amazing The writing? Perfection

You can truly tell this show was made with a lot of passion and heart. Every time you rewatch an episode you see something new. A small set detail that speaks to the characters personalities, subtle foreshadowing in the dialogue, references to the movies and what inspired them everywhere!

Subtly and characters are really this shows strong points. Which is perfect for a story about a psychologist murderer. Each character has depths and are insanely well written, you really feel for them and feel as if they're real.

Also this is perfect as a sort of prequel/remake. They do make many changes but they never step on the toes of the original and the changes usually add to the story and even the movie at times, giving motivations for the movie characters and connecting things they say and do to that of the movie without repeating it all and keeping things surprising and interesting.

If you're a fan of Hannibal I highly recommend this. If you're a fan of psychological horror, I highly recommend this, if you need a binge worthy intelligent show, I highly recommend this. Overall this show is amazing and worth everyone time who enjoys smart, well written, and at times a little freaky, shows and movies.
