Hannibal season 3 review

“Hannibal” the past six episodes has told a narrative quite like no other in their Red Dragon arc, one that started with a creepy villain and escalated into something else entirely: A story about “becoming,” and whether or not one can truly escape their past. For Will Graham, what we learned in the closing minutes […]

Saturday night’s new episode of “Hannibal” proved itself to be a thrilling one … and also one that probably grossed out out a great deal. This story contained what has to be one of the grossest and greatest moments in the history of NBC, and that may be the one silver lining in the show’s […]

We are now officially two-thirds of the way into the Red Dragon arc on “Hannibal,” and we are still having a hard time knowing precisely what we are to make of it. When it comes to describing the story’s positive attributes, one of the obvious ones comes courtesy of the performances. Hugh Dancy and Mads […]

Through the first two episodes of “Hannibal’s” journey into the Red Dragon story, we have not enjoyed it on the same level as we have the first part. Is there a definitive reason for that? More than anything, we cite the fact that for the most part, the story has been very slow-moving as we start […]

Saturday night’s “Hannibal” episode was strange … very strange. We almost wish we could take about ten minutes of the time-jumps out of the picture, mostly so that we were left with a more consistent product. We only have six episodes to tell the story of Francis Dolarhyde, and what all has really transpired through […]

Saturday night’s “Hannibal” was an introduction in many ways to the story of Francis Dolarhyde a.k.a. the Tooth Fairy, and after watching “The Great Red Dragon” in full, “introduction” may be the best overall way to describe it. It was a solid, necessarily entry into the series, but like the season 3 premiere we are […]

“Hannibal” may now be on Saturday night, but we really hope that American viewers took the time tonight to admire the beauty (oddly) of “Digestivo.” To us, this may just be one of the most powerful episodes of the entire series; it was emotional, visual striking, and it represents the end of a chapter. Were […]

The world of “Hannibal” has been crazy and complex more or less throughout the third season of the show so far, but through the majority of tonight’s new episode you started to get the sense that despite whatever craftiness Dr. Lecter a.k.a. Dr. Fell may have, this is going to be a losing battle for […]

Tonight’s “Hannibal” episode was the best of the season so far. Not only that, but it may be one of the greatest performances we’ve seen from Laurence Fishburne throughout his entire career. We’ve always found him gripping and magnetic on this show (the season 2 finale was some next-level fighting for him), but peering into […]

“Hannibal” so far this season has certainly been ethereal, to say the least. It has been beautifully imaginative, but one of the disadvantages has been that at times there has been so much imagery and time-jumping, the story has been somewhat hard to follow. Tonight’s episode “Secondo” to us still had some of that visual […]
