Mizumono

I can't believe I've never seen this show before. This finale was so compelling that it made me want to whip out my phone and review it which I don't do too often. Wow just wow I don't even have any other words to describe it.

A+++++ must see television and Great payoff to a great season

Just phenomenal. The music, the dialogue, and the intensity are there. Up there with The Shield's Family Meeting and Mad Men's The Suitcase.

The finale was in one word: Amazing. Mads Mikkelson was great and delivered his best performance of the series thus far. Fight scenes aren't usually my favorite part of any movie or episode but this one with Jack and Hannibal was done superbly. I got so into it I though Jack will successfully strangle Hannibal and forgot about the glass to neck part which was also shown back in episode one of this season. I don't think there was anyone who missed the after credit seen as they were in too much shock and remained staring at the screen as the credits rolled. This is a crucial part thinking a head to season 3. This episode was a visually amazing 40 minutes with top class acting all round. I can't wait to see where things go from here!

This season is tv perfection. The only show on the same level of Hannibal season 2 is mr robot season 3. No other show can touch this season. This finale is easily a top 10 tv episode of all time. If Ozymandias is a 10, this is an 11. WOW, this episode is beautiful, and horrifying in the best way possible. The "bloodfest" track made for this episode is amazing.

So I had doubts about watching this show, but I was very interested in watching this episode. So I started watching and I liked it from episode one. Both season 1 and 2 were incredible even before watching Mizumono, but when I finished watching I was just in shock. Then only tv episode that has shocked me more is Ozymandias from Breaking Bad( which is the greatest tv episode I have ever seen). Mizumono takes every aspect that makes this show work and elevates it to the extreme. The build up to the final confrontation is fantastic. The direction is incredible. The symbolism is simple the best from all episodes I have seen so far. The gore is so extreme that is disgusting and scary but it works because of the nature of the events that take place in this episode and the nature of the character of Hannibal Lecter. There were so many shocking scenes that I literally felt like I was just one more of the preys that Hannibal was hunting. The last 15 minutes are some of the best moments in tv history.

Silent of the Lambs might always be considered the best movie about Hannibal Lecter and it is still the best for me, but Mizumono is a very VERY close second. If the character of Hannibal Lecter was already inmortal because of Silent of the Lambs, then Mizumono just reaffirm just how terrific this character is. Simple brilliant.
