This show dives into deep psychological themes exploring the mind of a cannibal and psychopathy, with even newer sciences explored such as mushrooms decomposing corpses and psychedelic therapy. This show is a slow burner that you need to stick with because it just gets better and better and better. Superb throughout and beautifully created and executed. I could not imagine anyone else playing Hannibal other than Anthony Hopkins. I bypassed this show for many years, finally getting around to it by recommendation. Mads Mikkelson (Hannibal) truly took me off guard with an amazing performance that felt very synergistic with the rest of the cast. Everyone feels like a family in this show by the time you reach season 3. I personally cannot fathom why this was ever cancelled it is a real travesty and should be resurrected. I have a feeling that this won't be the last we see of Hannibal though .... You can't end a TV Show just when it gets to the point where the movies started.
