I have to revise my opinion on Hannibal after watching all three seasons. They sure pushed the envelope for a cable series. In addition to how explicit the violence and gore often were, all the leads did a fine job making you feel whatever it was they were trying to evoke from the audience. It did get a little annoying with how elusive Hannibal was and the passive aggressive bromance with Will, and how much everyone took advantage of him. The Dragon was effectively creepy, and I loved the final episodes involving Chilton. Of course there was a cliff hanger kind of ending even though it’d be a stretch if either Will or Hannibal survived. There’s been talks of a fourth season.
But ultimately it made me interested in revisiting the films, starting with Red Dragon.
