Summary: 

Will Graham is a criminal profiler who uses his ability to empathise with anyone to catch psychopaths. He helps the FBI pursue serial killers and enlists the help of psychiatrist Hannibal Lector. But during their partnership, he begins to discover the dark secret of the good doctor. As Will's brilliant but tormented mind begins to empathise with each serial killer, he becomes increasingly erratic. Will he succumb to the darkness?


Review: 

Warning: artistic, revealing and bizarre staging of bodies. Do not watch if you cannot handle grotesque and gruesome scenes.

 It is a work of art! Hannibal is a brilliant show – intense, dark & eerily beautiful. Each character is created superbly, all playing a part in uncovering the madness of the show – whether they’re part of that madness or they become a victim to it. Kudos to Mads Mikkelsen for playing Hannibal with so much class and sophistication and Hugh Dancy for being able to portray such a complex character. Hannibal is quite a slow paced show with full of intensity and mystery. It is a game of cat and mouse; a case of dramatic irony. Hannibal turns the typical gore-horror genre into something more disturbingly beautiful and psychological. If you are looking for something dark and intense Hannibal should be your first stop!
