From the beginning of the first episode it's astablished that Will the protagonist has an ability to put himself in the shoes of the killer. The process is extremely cringeworthy and if you can make it passed the first time he uses this method to describe how the killer kills by his design then you may make it to the end of season one. You'll notice he also somehow psychic because some of the things he knows just isn't there to see. They also ignor things like footprint and tracks, typical evedence at any normal crime scene so they can make the writing sound smarter than it is. Hannibal Lecter is played very well and is written well I think without this iconic and likable psychotic the show would just of fallen below the radar. Season 1 was a great watch but season 2 where Will is supposedly exploring his own mind is poor and not enjoyable. More like a filler season you'd get while trying to stretch out an anime series. While filming this the cast must have tripped over eachother as the lighting in everybuilding is extremely poor, even in the day time people seem to want to talk in the shade...

Gillian Anderson's character is almost pointless and could of just been written in afterwards for the sake of giving her something to do. Other than subtly or accidentally implying that hannible copies his therapist technique from her in the form of a wine bottle she's completely missable. And her acting as remained the same as ever with each new role she seems to talk slower and slower mistaking that for skill perhaps.

I found the long drawn out twists were so obviouse it will have to be pointed out to you that they were supposed to be twists. And the dialog and the supposed battle of minds back and forth between Will and Hannable follow the same forumula of irelivant set up then over the top quip back and forth it's a shame the writer isn't as smart as the charatures he's writing about.

The suspense created is very... Vivid, and some of the visuals created are Terrific. The other killers in the series are a mixed bag but are mostly well imagined and when given some though they can be terrifying. They do however wander in and out of the series as it goes often ending with their deaths very early on in their story and I feel there isn't enough time spent exploring them or their mind set, behaviours and actions while the show being named Hannible, spends so long focusing on Wills mental state well passed having got the message across to the audience.

I've got more to say but I'm bored of writing this now, good luck

Yes you should watch the show
