The script is finely crafted. It shocks you, then gives you security, only to rip it away again. This can easily feel cheap, or for shock value- yet with Hannibal it isnt at all. It reminds us that even we can be unreliable narrators of our own story. It challenges our perceptions of characters, and what or how they may be influenced or changed. I could go on for hours, really. There is a substantial amount of gore- some of it is even... theatrical. It is important for the overall story. I found myself being invited to psychoanalyze each character, each scene, each motive.. It keeps you on your toes, always on the cusp of falling over. But it almost never feels tiring.

This show desires so much more recognition. It is a work of art. The acting is incredible- especially Hannibal and Will. It is hard to believe the show was cancelled.
