A very intriguing and original first season, albeit not without its flaws. Even if it wasn't as good as it is I would still watch the next one on the strength of Mads' performance alone. My new favourite actor on TV (sorry Bryan).

I appreciate that Hannibal relates to other human beings, but the deeper the relationship becomes the more it deviates from normal interaction. Really well-acted rapport between Mikkelsen and Anderson.

Also hard to tell how much Gillian Anderson's character knew what she was eating.

I was in the U.K. during the News Of The World scandal and Rebekah Brooks and I thought, “Wouldn’t it be interesting if Freddie Lounds was more like Rebekah Brooks in her pursuit of journalism?” It felt like that was a good role model for us to take Freddie from.

On rewatch I am appreciating the sound design and musical cues even more. My initial viewing was very much influenced by the fact that I knew the nature of Hannibal Lecter's character. This time through, it seems really obvious that Will Graham is the killer. Completely believable that the other characters would think he was.
― beautifully, unapologetically plastic (mh), Wednesday, 9 October 2013 01:04 (ten years ago) link
Yeah tbh I was surprised that Alana Bloom believed Will when he said he was framed.

this show is weird, like, until that episode i felt like it didn't know what game it was playing, then the last fifteen minutes of that one (montage to chirpy classical of hannibal's recipe cards and offal cookery shots, cut to will and the medical examiners staring at series of bodies) was some of the most bravura tv i have seen
― ♛ LIL UNIT ♛ (thomp), Tuesday, 12 November 2013 23:06 (ten years ago) link
bravura is such an annoying emergent cliché to use of anything

Is this streaming on anything? I slacked off watching it on Hulu because watching stuff on my PC is an unbelievably aggravating experience and Amazon proudly announced they'd negotiated rights to stream it for Prime members, only to drop it a few weeks later...

or flavortown
i forget, did they actually discover/catch him?
because once he's caught they can probably get a lot of mileage out of reversing the whole visiting-hannibal-in-prison track that was laid down in prior verions
and then hannibal can let him out once he's wound him up
