The aesthetic, mixed with the scariness of human bodies being treated as fresh meat, is a positive and extremely appealing point for the show. As a TV crime show, I couldn't ask for more. It is exactly what crime and gore enthusiasts are willing to see.

We also have Mads Mikkelsen giving everything in front of cameras. Mads got so deeply into Hannibal's character that seeing him on the street I would probably run away in fear of being his next victim. He fits in perfectly. I could say maybe this is his best work ever.

The rest of the cast is also perfect. If you don't get mad at Jack Crawford onscreen, maybe you're watching it wrong. A very well-built character, though.
