This is my first review for a show and it's because this is beyond masterful. The only complaint I have is HOW this did not continue after season three? This show was done a disservice in that regard.

As viewers, we aim to see shows with characters that are living, breathing, truly & fully fleshed out - this is the generosity we have been given with Hannibal. I too wondered how anyone can measure up to Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter and then THIS HAPPENED. The writing, directing, acting, story telling is so above par.

If you're squeamish, you might have to skip through or advert your attention at some parts, but even then I would not advise you to miss out on this. 10 stars, undeniably.
