      Did a search and got no results, so I figured I'd go ahead an start a thread.

      Hannibal is a new series on NBC following Will Graham and Jack Crawford (from the Red Dragon book) and, of course, Hannibal Lector. It's a completely original story, however.

      It just premiered on NBC, and it's quite good. It has had some badly cheesy moments, but it's also had a few strong and creepy psychological moments.

      And, to top it off, Mads Mikkelsen (best known as Le Chiffre from Casino Royale) is pretty damn good Lector. Not Hopkins good, mind you, but that's not fair.

      Hugh Dancy is also quite good as Will and shouldn't be overlooked.

      ! When he shoots Hobbs, that whole scene was great.

      The episode will be up on Hulu tomorrow, so be sure to check it out!

      Also, they've got someone really good in the dead body department. Don't know who it is, just that it's not Greg Nicotero, but all the dead people look very convincingly dead.

      EDIT: Here's the Hulu link: http://www.hulu.com/watch/475305

        It's a shame this is named after the WORST one within the trilogy. Yeah I know it's his name, but still…

          To be fair, if we look at the books, Hannibal Rising is the worst.

            I like to plug my ears and stick chopsticks into my eyes whenever that book is mentioned. What a disaster…ugh (heck it actually has a movie too done by the guy that did the Stretford wives movie...wasn't that a match made from heaven). Though Hannibal should have been better. I mean...c'mon Ridley Scott :getlost:

              Thoroughly enjoyed that first episode. Though the show is about Hannibal, I believe Hugh Darcy (who was awesome in that first episode) will steal the spotlight from Mads Mikkelsen

                Well, I'm in love with this show. That was one of the best second episodes of any show I've ever seen.

                I like how it's a pseudo-procedural where the case takes a backseat to the character work, which was fantastic. Hugh Dancy became the unquestioned star of the show tonight. I also hope Freddie sticks around, she could be an interesting catalyst for Will.

                Now, let's talk about a create freaking way to kill people. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. And when that one grabbed Will, that make up job was amazing. That made The Walking Dead look amatuerish.

                Seriosuly people, if you are not watching this show get to it! Watch at least these first two episodes, because the second one is leagues ahead of the pilot, so even if you weren't wowed by that, this one could get you hooked!

                  This show is grand. Best new show on NBC since Awake.

                  Note I've not read the books or seen any of the movies.

                  I should change that.

                    The only thing I dislike about this show is how it makes you think that every single food item you see is human.

                    Yes we get it, he is a cannibal and others in the show are too. If it isn't human they are eating, don't make us believe it is. Like tonight, your thinking "that's not pork, that's the reporter lady" But no, then she is alive later.

                    Then the drinking of the wine, they later talk about wine with the bodies and mushrooms? so was he drinking wine made from humans?

                    It's a great show and all, but wish they would lighten up on the whole "what are we eating now" Feel like I'm watching pokemon and before the break they are like "Name that meat he's eating" So you sit and think "omg its human" Then later to be shown it wasn't, or no idea if it was or not.

                      I like that aspect, because you know one of these times it is going to be human. I think it adds a subtle humor to it. As long as they don't over do it.

                      Don't bother with the books outside of Red Dragon. DOn't bother with the movies outside of The Silence of the Lambs.

                        I just feel like this series will be better watched in hindsight later. I'm enjoying it now, but the second watch through will be neat to actually know whats what. Like know what he is eating, who he is helping, who he knows, ect.

                        So much is ambiguous right now

                            I love the cutaways to food. It's one of the more interesting, unsettling aspects of the show because, as the audience, we're unsettled and horrified by the possibility that Hannibal is feeding his guest HUMAN FLESH, but dammit, does it look tasty. It's a very entertaining feeling to feel oddly hungry despite that faint inkling that it could be somebody.

                            "I'd love to have you and your wife for dinner." also made me lol.

                              One thing I don't get is why no one mentions that Hannibal is creepy at all.

                              I mean sure jumping the gun and saying "are you a cannibal" is crazy, but everyone should be leaving his talks with a shiver going "man that guy is creepy"

                              You always hear serial killers neighbors go "oh he was the nicest guy, or never suspected him, ect" With Hannibal, it should be the hugest DUH moment when he is arrested.

                                Yeah, it was, but the book version was better. In fact, it's the only one of the books I like.

                                –-----

                                Honestly, Kitsune, I'd recommend avoiding other Hannibal related things until this at least finishes its first season. That way you're not comparing. Especially since the Will Graham in Red Dragon and the one in this show are rather different. For reason that will become clear once you read the book. Plus, as great as Mikkelsen is, he is no Anthony Hopkins.

                                  Well it certainly helps that a fair share of the books were bad in general.

                                  Really need to start watching this show, but too damn busy now days.

                                    Well just sacrifice the hour you were probably going to fart around on this site tonight and go to nbc.com and watch the first episode now. I'm sure they probably have it on there.

                                      Yeah, I kind of like the idea of going into this blind. I don't have to sit and compare x to book x or movie x. 😛

                                      Even after the first few minutes, I found Will Graham immediately compelling, so I wouldn't want to ruin that by seeing what he's like in Red Dragon (assuming this is a sort of prequel to the book or something to that effect?)

                                        Yeah, I kind of like the idea of going into this blind. I don't have to sit and compare x to book x or movie x. 😛

                                        Even after the first few minutes, I found Will Graham immediately compelling, so I wouldn't want to ruin that by seeing what he's like in Red Dragon (assuming this is a sort of prequel to the book or something to that effect?)

                                        Well he is played by edward norton in the movies.

                                        So take that how you will. But good luck waiting. After watching the first episode i was super tempted to watch the movies all again. But they weren't on netflix so I gave up. But if they were I would have probably rewatched them all.

                                        Besides the movies shouldn't really spoil the series too much. None of them deal with these events. They are either before or after what this first season seems to be doing.

                                              Probably not. Though that'd be a cool little nod. Just considering that doesn't crop up till after the events of Red Dragon…

                                                    Never quite understood it when people talked about how something was expertly/beautifully shot, beyond that sth. looked good.
                                                    After watching this episode I do, it's really intriguing how they present food scenes, graham's fantasies and reconstructions, and how it plays into accentuating a feeling or simply visually presenting what the story is trying to tell.
                                                    Also this murder was quite… creative, which made me think back to the early seasons of criminal minds where you really felt sick about the murders.
                                                    The show kind of lost that after they kind already did everything that seemed violent or textbook appalling(like cannibalism or body collectors.)

                                                      Okay, now that I've seen the second episode I'm really starting to like this show. I was immediately intrigued by the cinematography since I'm a sucker for visually interesting television, but not until the death-by-fungus was I hooked. It was awesomely creepy, or perhaps creepily awesome.

                                                      Granted, the dialogue and imagery is a tad ridiculous to me at times, but the good stuff is so good it balances out. I adore the colour correction and the use of ambient, atmospheric music and sound effects. Not to mention that the acting is great pretty much all around. Mads Mikkelsen may not be Anthony Hopkins, but every time he's on screen my skin starts to crawl. The accent fits the role too. It's just, agh, it's all really promising! Can't wait for more~

                                                        Another solid episode. Not as good as last week's but still pretty good.

                                                        Anyway, I got picked up to do regular coverage of this show for my school's newspaper, so I figured I'd start posting my first drafts. I contractually can't post the review itself, but I can share my basic ideas. Though, it should be noted that 1) I get paid by the word, and 2) This will probably end up looking a lot different after my second pass. It'll be much more structured that's for sure.

                                                        [hide]
                                                        Today is my lucky day. I got signed on to do regular coverage of “Hannibal” for the rest of its season! The Powers That be liked my first two reviews, and it seems like viewership is strong enough to justify keeping me on board for this, so hoorah! Paycheck! But enough of my joy; it’s time to chow down (please don’t murder me for that) on another strong episode of Hannibal after the jump.

                                                        If one thing can be consistently said about Hannibal week after week, it is that the show is absolutely gorgeous. I said it last week, and I will probably be saying it every week here on out: the cinematography is phenomenal. Even an episode like “Potage” which features almost no blood and gore, still manages to dully shine out in a way that is becoming distinctly Hannibal. In the shadow of lauding the cinematography, there are two aspects of the show that have been overlooked: makeup and costume design. Both are subtle, understated even, but they add so much of to the show’s gorgeous look, that I simply wanted to bring attention to them. Next time you are watching, just look at how well the makeup and costumes blend with the overall look of the show. In all honestly it is not something that is difficult to do per se, but somehow it is often not done as well as it should be.
                                                        But how about the episode itself? I am rather mixed on it. I thought it was better than the pilot, but it did not reach the heights of “Amuse-Bouche,” episode two. That said, outside of Jack Crawford, this was definitely the strongest script of the show so far. From front to back everything was well paced and delivered. Nearly all the dialogue worked, and there was only one cheesy line. Bloom was better handled this episode than she was in either of the first two, and Lara Jean Chorostecki continues to impressively sleazy as Freddie. Even little Kacey Rohl was able to hold her own as Abigail Hobbs (her glance towards Hannibal as the man on the phone was mentioned was perfect.) Hugh Dancy continues to impress. I wrote in my first review that he was overshadowed by Mads Mikkelsen, but with each episode that passes he becomes the star. He is utterly fantastic, and I cannot tear my eyes away when he is on the screen.
                                                        What this episode does best is the subtle development of it Hannibal through the development of Hobbs. That opening scene is just fantastic in explaining Hobbs motivations in eating his victims, and I wish the writers had trusted it to speak for itself. Instead the had Abigail restate it plainly later on, which lessened the impact for me, but it still worked on the whole; no matter what the implications are the strong part. Hobbs, in a way did honor his victims. He never let them go to waste. So what does that say about Hannibal? He does not honor his victims. He does not eat them out of a sense of duty, but because he wants to. Even though that is never stated outright, it is still an idea the show lets present itself, and I thank it for that.
                                                        It also allows for an interesting idea to be presented: is evil genetic? It is not a new argument. The nature versus nurture debate has been around for a long while, but it will be interesting to see how the show handles it. By the end of “Potage” it almost seems as if the show is saying yes, it is. Abigail murdering that guy, was probably self-defense at first, but by the look of his body, she went a little too far. Though, stranger still, she didn’t seem like she enjoyed it. Unfortunately Abigail is gone for the rest of the season according to IMDB, so we may never actually get an answer to this question, which would be quite disappointing.
                                                        Earlier, I singled Jack Crawford. To put it as short as possible, he bugged the hell out of me. His attitude in this episode was just revolting. I have no idea where it came from. What happened to the man who was worried about Will? Hopefully he is back on track next week, as he nearly ruined every scene he was in this week. Though, credit to Fishburne; the writing definitely let him down.
                                                        The episode was also rather uneventful. It tied up the Hobbs storyline in a neat enough way, but only for Hannibal (before I forget, it was nice to see the first hints at his fascination with certain women which will later bloom with Clarice) and Abigail. If the story in this episode had been told through Will instead of Hannibal, it would have felt more filling. It also would have been nice to have a case this week, much in the same vein of the one last week: nicely in the background. The episode would have felt much fuller, and would have benefited from having some kind of b-plot. I still do not want this show to turn into a procedural (which I fear might be about the happen,) but a b-plot case would go a long way each week.
                                                        That is really what is keeping this episode in B+ range for me. The episode just felt lacking, so I could not justify anything higher. It’s like a serving at a gourmet restaurant. It’s good, but it’s not filling, and leave leave still hungry. And by the time this episode ended, I just wanted more.
                                                        I am excited for a new case next week, I just have to hope that there is a major plot that continues, especially since this one was tied off so cleanly, and Rohl is not credited for any more episodes this season. My biggest fear coming out of the pilot was that we were going to end up with the strangest of buddy-cop procedurals, which is why I was so delighted by episode two. Needless to say, I will be quite nervous sitting down. However, based on what I have seen, I have enough faith to trust that the writer’s will deliver.
                                                        On that note, I shall bid you adieu. See you back here, next Friday, for regular coverage Hannibal. And, as NBC is so fond of pleading, remember to watch it live, this show deserves another season.

                                                            Well, okay.

                                                            Was afraid something like this was going to happen.

                                                            Guiltily I thought of this when the Boston bombing happened. Feels like every time there is any sort of accident some show ends up not airing an episode cause it happens to be similar enough to the event that its "too early" type of situation.

                                                            Though no idea on why this episode would get canceled. What does kids killing people have to do with Boston Marathon bombing?

                                                              Not sure but it was Bryan Fuller's decision and not the network's. The plot details will be available as a clip show of sorts online, but the episode will still air internationally. I'm sure digging would yield the episode, not to mention it will probably make the DVD release.

Seems strange they can pull an entire episode and not be too worried about missing plot. Here's hoping it was just a random episode that doesn't have much driving plot force and just deals with more random death.

I do think there will be "cases of the week", but that's not necessarily a bad thing I don't think.

The man is a monster, a charming intelligent one.

                                                                              Kudos to the writers, great pacing and it still keeps my interest every episode, I really like how Mikkelson portrays Hannibal, he has that dashing sinister vibe with him...not to mention that somewhat european accent of his, really entertaining. I suggest you guys here should watch it too. 🙂

                                                                                                  It's quiet remarkable how hannibal can pull me in so much.
                                                                                                  I mean I could distance myself from it and brush everything off like I do with any horror movies allowing me to laugh at them, but I kind of don't want to.
                                                                                                  I want to take the series seriously and be affected by it.

                                                                                                  Which on the other hand takes a considerable toll on my mood after I finish an episode. I really really dig how they try and often succeed to play up the psychological angle.
                                                                                                  One of the things I think the show is weak at is pacing their character arcs, everything feels a bit disjointed in my opinion.
                                                                                                  It feels especially more obvious because Will and Hannibal are so well done, for example Jack, I didn't feel the resolution for him for his wife's problems.
                                                                                                  I mean yeah there is no real resolution but it felt pretty abrupt for it not to be mentioned again for the next episodes and instead placing the whole trainee problems on him. I mean he should by all means crumble but it feels more like that each of these things just affects him separately one at a time.

                                                                                                  Sure you could argue that he probably trained himself to do so, but I don't know, the character just doesn't feel quiet graspable for me yet.
                                                                                                  Same thing with freddie and abigail.

                                                                                                    Well I may have lost a bit of time, but that happens when you try to fall asleep and can't.

                                                                                                    Darth's post reminded about Jack's wife and Hannibal. The first time we see her she's at one of his dinner parties and he's leaning close to her when pouring wine iirc. I wonder if at that point he also smelled her illness, and that was why he decided to take her as a client.

                                                                                                    But yeah I'm kinda wondering if she'll make an appearance this season or the next. It did seem weird to devote part of two episodes to her and not really do anything after that, just a brief mention that she was out of town.

Hannibal finally showing people the monster he is by framing Will and most likely killing Abigail is awesome. If Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy aren't nominated for their roles it would be horrible.

                                                                                                      If you are gonna shoot, shoot. Don't talk

                                                                                                        ! The final scene with Hannibal visiting Will in the insane asylum that Hannibal helped put him in was beautiful. With the opera music in the background and Will saying "Hello, Dr. Lector" to Hannibal, who busts out a little chuckle and smirk is probably one of the best final scenes to a show I have seen

                                                                                                        I need to find a gif of that scene

                                                                                                        If you are gonna shoot, shoot. Don't talk
