mnalyss As a student of psychology in love with the phenomena of perverse structure (a.k.a sociopaths), the Hannibal series - which I had already begun to watch in 2013, the year of launch - drew my attention. After watching two other series on mental phenomena, Mindhunter and The Alienist - the two, also, investigating criminals - the series directed by Michael Rymes was next on the list.The relationship maintained by the investigator and murderer was able to provoke me to various feelings, mainly anxiety.Hannibal, as Will was lead to understand, placed himself in the prision, where he would not fail to be seen. Hence, we can understand his surrender as an attempt by the serial killer to curb his deeds. Hannibal ended lives and gave up his own. "You know where I am," Hannibal says incarcerated. The final episode is of great mastery. "That's what I wanted for you - and for me," adds Hannibal. Since Will was already unable to live a life in which Hannibal did not remember his own evil, and his absurd acts, he participated in the plot with his rival - conscious The romance between a pervert, the mental disorder, and the common investigator touches us as he denounces us dark desires and interests. As Freud says, perversion is the negative of neurosis: what the neurotic fantasizes, the perverse does in fact. Hannibal takes Will, during all the plots, to acts. The last act, the most awaited, finally realized. Will embodies all humanity, doubt, fear, hesitation, madness. But it also borrows from Hannibal, which builds during the plot, certainty. Certainty this staged in a last act, that also causes its death.
grantss Will Graham is a special consultant with the FBI. He has a special gift whereby he can empathise with any individual and put himself in their shoes. This means he gets to help solve vicious murders, especially those involving serial killers, as he can profile the murderer - their method, motives and personality profile. For a particular case, the FBI also seek the help of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a highly-respected psychiatrist. Will and Hannibal hit it off, and Will becomes a patient of Hannibal. Little does he know or suspect that Hannibal might be the most wanted serial killer in the US.Brilliant..in spells. Started pretty conventionally and not entirely engagingly. The first half of Season 1 is all about Will Graham, and he's not a particularly likeable character. Nor are the stories that compelling, as they feel not much different from your average crime-investigation drama. However, as Season 1 goes on, Hannibal moves to centre stage, and the story becomes much darker and more original. Season 2 continues in this vein. Plot- and character- development in Season 2 is excellent and makes for very compelling viewing.Season 3 is a bit hit and miss, with some interesting twists and a powerful ending. However, it is also chock full of padding, and also feels like it should have finished after seven or so episodes. The Red Dragon development at the end felt unnecessary, like it was tacked on as an afterthought.The padding that is overtly apparent in Season 3 also occurs in Seasons 1 and 2, though to a lesser degree. This is the factor that prevents the series from fulfilling its full potential. After a great series of scenes and plot development we often have these drawn out navel-gazing scenes that ruin the momentum. Some of the more introspective scenes are necessary, as they reveal the evolving relationship between Hannibal and Will, but many are just there to kill time. Worst of all is the recurring stag imagery - it was relevant when it first appeared, in Season 1, and is occasionally relevant to demonstrate the mental connections Will is making, but is often just there as filler. It's as if the editor said to the producer "Hey, we still need two minutes of footage" and the producer said "No problem, fill it with stag imagery". 8/10 for Season 1 (was heading for a 7, but it then ramped up towards the end), 9/10 for Season 2 (the padding prevented a 10/10) and 7/10 for Season 3.
quantum_22 I rarely give 10 out of 10 stars. As a matter of fact, I only did this 2 times before "Hannibal".10 stars... What a truly wonderful show! Brutal yet sensitive. Gruesome yet artful. Highly intellectual, yet a careful homage to human fallacy. Love and hate depicted as an eternal dance of indistinguishable partners. IMPRESSIVE soundtrack, surrealistic, intricate plot, dialogues covering psychology, philosophy, art and history...And last but not least: breathtaking performances of Mads Mikkelsen, Hugh Dancy, Gillian Anderson, Rutina Wesley and so many more...
RIPxItachi The first two season are extremly good and exciting, but in my opinion the series goes into an average third season, sadly not so good like the first two seasons.
