The show at it's very core is detailed and enjoyable. There is a lot of fluff that doesn't add to the storyline, but seriously muddies it up. The greatest thing about this show is Hannibal. He is a great character and is acted out wonderfully. The character Will was terribly weak and poorly acted out in Season One, but things are getting a bit better. Overall it is a satisfactory show.

Season 2 in my opinion is the best season and the finale is by far the best hour of television I've ever seen. The story really picks up this season and the twists and mind games that transpire are exhilarating. I highly recommend watching this show. DO IT.

I don't watch to many shows anymore. When The Sopranos ended there wasn't a show out there, that I looked forward to watching. Now there is, Hannibal. Hannibal is the best network TV show out there(in my opinion) at first I didn't think there was a actor in the world who could play Hannibal. I was proven wrong. The dialogue in the show is so well thought out. I love the fact that this series really gives Will Graham his due. They really don't go in depth about Will in the books, this is the guy who eventually beats Hannibal at his own game. I recommend this series to everyone who enjoys shows that really makes you think. It's not just the killing and blood and guts that makes this show good. It's the amazing storytelling that makes this show one of the best. So whoever likes terrific storytelling, this is the show to watch. After 2 episodes of season 1, you will be hooked. Unusually after a great season 1 it's hard to make a better sequel. Well you don't have to worry about that, season 2 is just as good, if not better than season 1. And PS season 3 is on right now, start watching 😉 I'll be buying that season too.

Stylish, well writen and acted, brilliant, gorgeous and creative, this show is hands down the most genre-bending on primte time. The season 2 finale will have you stunned, for so many reasons.

Plot, depth, awesome characters. Very graphic but tasteful. Keeps you entertained and wanting more!!!

I haven't found any mistakes in the entire show yet. It's beautifully disgusting in a way that makes you crave more. I definitely can't wait until season 3!

As someone who has seen the films and read the books I was skeptical going in. However, after watching season one I realized just how beautiful this composition piece is. Season two is splendid, pairing nuance and subtlety in regards to acting with an almost operatic sense of style, the show has outdone itself once again. By far the better telling of Hannibal, once you watch this show you realize just how over the top the films have been (and sadly Hopkins in particular), and just how perfect Mads Mikkelsen is in the part. Each actor fits as if in a puzzle perfectly, and as a female in the forensic sciences, I genuinely appreciate the inclusion of intelligent women. I hope that of everything in Bryan Fullers' repertoire this will be the project that fulfills the potential we have seen in his previous works such as Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me.

The end will have you hungry for more ;)

I like the show but Jesus...the "Chesapeake ripper" is "maybe" someone new every episode. Starting to get annoying. I'm halfway through season two and yet still none of these super smart "FBI agents" know anything about ANYTHING.

If Hannibal’s writers were uncertain as to whether the series would live another season, this was the perfect conclusion: both open to possibility and nice closure—well done.
