Unless you have seen Hannibal, it is difficult to understand how can a horror story about a cannibalistic serial killer be so alluring. I have never before come across a show with such intellectually stimulating and intelligent dialogues. Visually, every scene is a masterpiece - the show is so artistic and esthetic, that I often wondered how can a horror show actually be so beautiful! It is dark, suspenseful, thrilling, and sophisticated - so much so, that it cannot be compared to any other show in the genre except for, maybe, the Bates Motel. If you are a fan of Mads Mikkelsen, you are likely to consider this show as his magnum opus. As Hannibal, everything about him appears mesmerizing and brilliant - including his accent.
