The reason the pacing is so good is because Bryan Fuller was fully aware that each season could be the last, so he crafted all of them with that in mind. He made the season finales able to be the *series* finale if need be. It was out of necessity but I realized that it’s actually such a clever way to make a tv show?? Because it has a set destination, all the pieces you leave to get there are important and nothing is out of place or messy. Other shows could stand to follow in Hannibal’s footsteps tbh

tbh, that could also really F up the pacing, as evidenced by Legend of Korra. That show has a bit of a start and stop motion because the show writers and runners thought they were getting canceled every season. I don't think Korra is bad or anything, but I think it would have been much better if storylines would have been allowed to breathe over several seasons.

I don't share the same enthusiasm....the show takes liberties that don't bother me but dosen't do , most of the cases anything...if you gonna swipe off the genders of characters may as well let them suffer the consequences of their actions...the reporter lady in the original movie is a sleazy scumbag...so he gets in an arc of redemption by confronting his actions to the killer....guess what... the women version dosen't spies on her faults and nothing happens ; only help characters for her own porspuses and okey doeky ! Can't say the same for the director who is also sleazy in a different level but he received a harrowing fate rather than the women.... Also lots of scenes with the psychiatrist are dull as fuck...smart writting...but the deliver fell so numb and narcissistic... And lots of Areas of season 3 are very rush ( also i can understand why due to the red light) but i have to have on account ... Will is not exactly a very interesting protagonist in my opinion, but Hannibal's actor is very good....my only gripe was he dosent fit the pattern of a sociopath, sadistic egotistical maniac....hannibal love is something more platonic , obsesive compulsive, who confronts morals and proclivities of other people in a very vicious manner...obviously a result of sexual repression....but here is a Don John... To me it miss the mark in so many things that i can barley give it a 7/10

Honestly I think (wait let me *explain*) that Made does the best Hannibal. BUT Hopkins was portraying post-capture Hannibal, and they have a very short amount of time to imprint a certain message on the audience: this guys in a basement of a mental asylum behind a solid plastic wall...and you should still be terrified of him. ....however I'd like to invite you to imagine Hopkins' Hannibal as your fucking therapist. Yeah, you'd need to see a second therapist to deal with the trauma of him being your therapist. But Mads? Theres one scene, with the guy who wants to be his bff, go watch it, where you CAN imagine everything he says in that scene from the patients POV and see how much he genuinely cares about his well being. And at the exact same time you can see he's never struggled so hard in his entire life to not eat someone's face. That is fucking incredible.

@ivansanger7985

The reason it feels romantic to you is because Bryan Fuller wanted it that way. He told Siouxsie Sioux (the Person who made the beautiful Soundtrack "Love Crime" from 3x13) this context for the ending Song: "This is a love story. A love story between a full-fledged psychopath and someone who has a nascent psychopathic abilities... It's a love relationship between two man: one of them is a cannibal and one of them understands those cannibalistic instincts all too well" He didn't intend on this love story but said "It naturally evolved because I guess I was absorbing so much of Mads and Hugh's performance, which felt like it was growing in intimacy, and it would have been inauthentic to not address it" But HELL YEAH I really really want a season 4 even though the cliff(hehe)hanger was so perfect! All I can do is hope someday he will have enough money or maybe Netflix covers them!

Mads Mikkelsen's performance makes this show worth watching all by itself. I honestly like his version of Lecter better than Hopkins'. He's just so much more nuanced and charismatic. He also feels more in control of his urges than Hopkins' take.

YES. I admit, I watched the whole show in like 6 days (oops) And dedicated a whole day just for season 2 (successfully), it's THAT amount of captivating. I love Mads so much, and I just wanna say... Hannigram lives on forever❤

Amazing how this show will continue to be studied in film schools for years to come. Not one unnecessary word, line or scene in the entire 3 years of the series. I am not one for lots of violence, but if you start from the first episode, and can make it through, you won’t turn back. I’ve probably seen it at least 10 times and I always see something new and fresh.

Oh my god I love this series so much, I always wished it got more attention so I’m extremely happy that you’re making a video about it!

15:16 are ya not going to comment on the paintings in the background on either side of the door one as Simonetta Vespucci and the other as Sandro Botticelli, will being Simonetta and Hannibal Botticelli symbolizing Hannibal's love for will... anyways after reading a little bit about the primavera it's now my headcanon that if will and Hannibal were to get married it would be in the spring...

I love that series!!! Madz Mikkelsen is a badass!

This video is an oldie but a goodie and I loooove to see people pouring love and admiration to this well-crafted show. The writing to this day makes me die, I remember loving the shit out of the show when it first aired, being hear-broken when it was cancelled but with time moving on. Now I chose to rewatch the show and I'm even more surprise at it, I used to not love that much the first season but now I realized how goddamn smart it is, literally it sets everything for the future, every episode, every conversation, every clever editing, everything is a clue... I can't believe this show... I only wish it can be revived

I only got through the second season (not because I didn’t like it but because I forgot about it during the season break) but you inspired me to rewatch it all the way through! 💕

Really appreciated this analysis. Such a rich show it's great hearing fellow fans picking out their favourite bits of cinematography

It's your Muse. I'll explain later. Anyway- I watched Hannibal from season 1, and even wrote a letter filled impotent rage to the network when it was cancelled.( I think it was NBC). Glad you liked it as much as I did.

This is my favorite show of all time.

Breaking Bad is almost tied with The Wire, and Rome as my ALL TIME favorites, but Hannibal is in my top 10. I love Anthony Hopkins SO MUCH ( seriously-- I'd marry that man, age difference be damned) and yet I still LOVED this casting of Hannibal the Cannibal.💕

Ooo I wouldn't mind being Hannibals lover. Then again I think Will Graham has that position. I'm devastated that something that's so beautifully crafted get's cancelled after three seasons. Always appreciate a Hannibal fan. It's funny you'd comment today, when I started rewatching it the day before yesterday. Just got up to the point where Eddie Izzard joins the show. Now I think S1 was a bit more formulaic than S2 and 3, but damn it's so good. A lot of 'detective' shows can become much of a muchness, where Hannibal explores the human psyche, with vivid and finely tuned direction, deep and complex characters performed to a t. It nails each aspect, where many shows would only shine in one or two of its components. Sorry, completely rambling at this point. Glad you enjoyed.

I'm going to comeback to this video as I'm so close to finishing Hannibal S2(with my personal rating of the show being around a 9.7 or 6 as of me being in Hannibal S2E11) and it's def one of my favorite shows def going to be within that top 10 range by the end of the show depending on how good season 3 is

I also watched many many episodes of Luther.

forgot a very important reason.. the main actor is danish :)

Also, I love Chopin!

I was very very sceptical about this series and decided to pass on it, because I love the books, and Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Lecter is one of the best casting choices I can think of. However, I hate the way they switched the ending of the move Hannibal to something very different - I guess the original ending was to scandalous. However, I always enjoyed glimpses into the past of Hannibal, and if you recommend this, I might give it a try. It does seem, however, that they mixed the "future" into the past - Verger feeding his face to pigs (Hannibal) instead to dogs, Lecter being found on the museum of torture devices and watching the crowd (Hannibal) and so on and so forth. Also the fact that Graham entertains a relationship with Hannibal, when Hannibal originally almost killed him the moment he found out it was Hannibal who murdered all the victims, and Hannibal gets caught immediately after.

You should give it a try! The reason why they emerged so many plot points it's because they have the rights of only three books of the saga: Red Dragon, Hannibal and Hannibal Rising; so without Silence of the Lambs and even without Clarice Starling, they had to go around that and find a clever way to adapt and tell the story, which in my opinion they did succed.
