This was PURE ART. I hate that it got cancelled and seriously hope they eventually give it at least one more season with a true finale. I loved the gore, the production, Mikkelsen's acting is the cherry on top of an already superb cast and it was just breathtakingly shot. Also, the story is pretty exquisite for a crime show - as expected from a show about Hannibal Lecter, the most refined fictional serial killer of all times.
