One of the most fascinating literary characters comes to life on television for the first time: psychiatrist-turned-serial-killer, Dr. Hannibal Lecter. In this new drama from Bryan Fuller ("Pushing Daisies," "Heroes"), based on the characters from Thomas Harris' classic novels, we see where this incredible story began. Will Graham (Hugh Dancy, "The Big C") is a gifted criminal profiler who is on the hunt for a serial killer with the FBI. Graham's unique way of thinking gives him the astonishing ability to empathize with anyone - even psychopaths. He seems to know what makes them tick. But when the mind of the twisted killer he's pursuing is too complicated for even Will to comprehend, he enlists the help of Dr. Lecter, one of the premier psychiatric minds in the country. Armed with the uncanny expertise of the brilliant doctor, Will and Hannibal (known as a serial killer only to the audience) form a brilliant partnership and it seems there's no villain they can't catch. If Will only knew...

@GuillaumeVMaele yea :) it picked up again for me the episode after I commented this. The finale was incredible SHOW SPOILER and though I always wished they allowed Abigail to be more of her own character I was still impressed with the ending!
Who knew death could be so poetic and gruesome at the same time? One of the, if not the, best show in the last couple of years!
@kenneththepage And will you be back?
Renewed for 3rd season! http://www.deadline.com/2014/05/hannibal-renewed-season-3-nbc/
disappointed with the last few episodes. They're doing things that are completely out of character, not to mention SHOW SPOILER randomly killing all of the females for no reason. seriously, this show needs stable consistent characters other than will and hannibal. but i digress . Ill see how the season ends but if its like this, i cant say ill be back, sadly.
@moneynoob YES IT IS! :)
This is the best show on tv right now IMO, Game Of Thrones included
props to the set designers, the monster workshop, the chefs, the special effects department, the camera crew... i think i'm naming everyone even remotely involved with this show at this point
@az25 They are playing very different roles, but my god is Mads owning up to it. Genious!
@az25 WORD!
Sir Anthony Hopkins who!? I think Mads Mikkelsen is taking the throne from him, holy shit, he's fucking incredible.
@meerareed Don't let a fanbase affect your feelings on what you like! I'd literally watch nothing if I did, Supernatural, Scandal, etc. All really enjoyable shows, I just don't talk with people who seemingly would die to protect their favourite characters and know everything there is to know about the actors and everything. It's so not worth it.
Ratings are slipping everyone please watch live if you can!!!
This take on a dark(ly), beautiful world I like. Too many shows in the past 3 years have tried to be dark and/or beautiful and/or full of intrigue in the past few years -- the failing for most has actually been across the board -- design and cinematography, writing (dialogue and story itself), and acting. And even if it wasn't all three, it was one of them, bad enough to ruin the show on its own.
Hannibal has hit the niche perfectly, a truly gothic story and world-view, yet with some romanticism, stoicism, and (most peculiarly, as a successful addition) psychology, not just thrown in, but, blended together with the format -- and dancing beautifully between the actors and the art direction, the performance given by every person involved with the project as a whole.
In short. I think this may be the most technically inspired and just down-right masterfully produced show on the air at the moment.
@Baltimore Quote!
Can't wait for february, when second season will air!
I love how the pic features Will Graham and Hannibal's crotch. You don't need to know more, just the crotch is enough.
Great show, hate the fanbase but the show's worth it. I've been a fan of the movies and books for a while and really liked this interpretation. Excited for s2!!
Absolutely staggering. Took its sweet time getting started, but ended up being the best show I've seen in years.
Great show. Here's to season 2
