Thanks for 3 great years. Too bad it was cut short. They could've added Clarice Starling had they went longer with the series but at least they brought back most of the Thomas Harris iconic characters from the movie and brought perfectly casted characters to the roles of each character that came back. Hoping they end up doing a spin off at some point. Clarice Starling could be the main character with a surviving Lecter. That would explain why we never heard of Will Graham in Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal. Just an idea.
The last couple of Scenes .. were so sensational and poetic Hannibal and Will become One ... and it is considered as an open ending where any other network can pick it right up and make other exciting plot ... and the scene of Dr. Bedelia !! my goodness so unprecedented ..
Yeah .. the first two seasons were so freakishly strangely catchy ... this season started ,well !! never slow, but with more philosophical style .. yet there were more than a punch of unbelievably intriguing with even more than 10/10 rating.
so this season overall ,, the story of the red dragon was Hannibalian freaky and creepy .. yes.. not like what we saw at the first of the season but still it had it's own amazingly catchy episodes where it leave you not sleeping well wanting to know what's next ..
would i miss it !!! oh hell indeed ... this series is easily impressionable and magnetic and not forgetting so memorable in so many levels ... we have heard of Hannibal so much before .. but with these three season .. the name Hannibal would make you see clearly that strange handsome character and that other hard-ass character of Will who'd give you these mixed signals of rooting for him then wait what is he doing then wait what's that now !!! so farewell to an amazing show that set the bar so high on the Drama and Mystery genre.
Hannibal tried to teach its viewers true beauty in a visceral and bloody world. This is not a realistic portrayal of characters and more a hyper psychological representation of good and evil with Will and Hannibal circling each other throughout the seasons and it's been done beautifully in absolutely every regard under the team led by Bryan Fuller.
This season/series finally brings this excellent show on another level yet again with a conclusion that's bound to be jawdropping, inspiring and emotional. We see Will and Hannibal finally reconnect again after living apart for two years, we see the Red Dragons cunningness and absolutely brutal nature be topped yet again with a performance from Richard Armitage that's Award worthy, we see a beautiful and well thought out ending to every character that actually works as a series finale which it wasn't supposed to be.
It is operatic filmmaking brought to perfection by the all equally superb cinematography, set and costume design, lighting, direction and writing, foremost the minimalistic acting of the cast and Mikkelsen; probably the best representation of Hannibal in film yet, where each movement and line seems dangerous and eerie, in scenes of him being locked in his "cage" he seemed to be lurking like a caged animal.
The shows writing gets absurdly pretentious in a positive way, it's a supernatural show where blood and mutilation is beautiful and the human psychic is a playground for monsters. We're not supposed to understand the characters, we're supposed to be transported to a place where poetry and melodies express themselves through disfigured corpses and broken and deeply disturbed individuals, to a place where Hannibal Lecter is the devil incarnate roaming the world.
It is in my opinion one of the few shows that can be considered art and it will hold a very dear place in my heart as something that inspired, shocked and transcended me every week.
Save yourselves.. and thank Bryan Fuller
