Never before has a show blended so many feelings together for me. This show turns the conventional emotional process on its head, and challenges what we normally would see as conflicting emotions. I found myself simultaneously feeling both disgust and appeal, sympathy and callousness, uneasiness and relief.

The show is a visual masterpiece and everything is cohesive. The editing and musical score give a sense of dark sophistication. The recurring themes and imagery strengthen the character roles (notably Will's view of Hannibal's true form) and give a sense of darker, intangible forces at play.

The roles are perfectly cast, I can't think of anyone more suited for Hannibal's role than Mads (Hopkins was excellent, but I have to say Mads takes it here for me). Hugh and Mads' dynamic is tangible.

I don't really have any critiques of this show, but if I had to give something, I would say the third season sometimes falls a little flatter than the first two, however it wraps up beautifully.

Over all, this show is a true work of art, and I encourage anyone with both a stomach for gore, and a taste for the finer things, to give it a watch.
