Mizumono

Well, the finale was unacceptable, unbelievable, shocking, mind-blower and unimaginable. I was not able to take my dinner after this magnificent Climax. Mads, The one and Only Dr. Hannibal, played a role which you have never ever seen in your life (Of course, we can't compare the act of Joker, played by Heath Ledger with that, but can still keep it in parallel). The End comes with one upon another shocking moments, which for the viewer is tremendously hard to believe, see and accept !! Its hard to say that how Directors and writers are going to come up with the new Season of Hannibal in 2015. But, I am sure, whatever they will make, it will bring you the goosebumps ! Be prepared. I would like to give 12 out of 10 to this episode (2 points for the dialogue delivery and the magnificent act of Mads Mikkelsen as Dr. Lector) Well, Thank you very much writers and Direction for giving a beautiful O' Henry Climax.

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

Mizumono in my opinion is the greatest episode of television ever made, it's bloody, poetic and the last 10 minutes of the episode was the most intense viewing experience I have ever had.

Mads Mickelsen (Hannibal) gives a award worthy performance and all of the cast do in fact. The visuals and imagery were both beautifal and haunting. This season finale gave us one of the most tragic losses and one of the biggest cliffhangers.

10/10

"Mizumo" did not pay much attention to Hannibal's culinary talents, since the episode itself was the last dish served this season. All the flavours and exquisiteness condensed into a single course, served with the astonishing visuals of a surreal masterpiece and Mads Mikkelsen's superb acting. Every episode this season was executed with a graceful pace that led the storyline into the right direction, while taking its time to absorb and explore the immense complexity of Hannibal's views on life and death. The finale started with that same pacing until it transformed into an agonising count down to the end. Everything was done masterfully, from the usual stunning surreal visuals to the music that evoked the ticking of a clock, from which both the characters and the viewer could not escape. Until it happened and the surprises filled our palates with an explosion of surprises and bitter revelations. This breathtaking culmination of events was unexpected and shocking, but it was not on this that the real magnificence laid. The skill and unique sophistication of how each and every element was executed was unprecedented in television. The true surprise lies on how the show's art department continues to exceed itself, by honouring the world's most charismatic psychopath. Everything in the show (and specially in this episode) complements the idea of a harmonious balance in the beauty of life and death. Hannibal is more but a mere serial killer. He is the ultimate artist and the world is his canvas. His brush is death; and Bryan Fuller's is Hannibal. The credits served as pack of ice to soften the wound made by the slap that the rest of episode delivered. Such a peaceful, melodic conclusion to a traumatic, exhilarating episode. Just like a digestif after a strong, yet exquisite, meal. I must say, it did open my appetite for next season.

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!
