Hannibal - TV Series Review

Hi,

A couple of posts ago I mentioned that we had just finished watching the Hannibal TV Series last week and I said I was going to write a review on it.

Let me start off with saying I was so pleasantly surprised with this TV series, I was not expecting it to be anywhere near as good as it was.

The actor who plays Hannibal, I was a bit unsure if he would be able to pull off the part but he did it so well. He does not play Hannibal in the same way as Antony Hopkins portrays him which is the sarcastic charming sort of nature. The guy who plays Hannibal in the TV Series plays the character is such an elegant, charming and seductive way. I know that sounds kind of odd but it’s the best way I can find to describe it.

The series is set before the trilogy of films, so before Hannibal has been caught. The main character along with Hannibal is a guy called Will Graham, Will is a guy who can virtually visualise a whole re-enactment of a crime scene and can tell you exactly what happened and who did it. Having a gift like this obviously has its toll on poor Will Graham as he begins to start losing his marbles.

The special effects in this series are incredible, it’s very graphic and the storylines are so twisted. If you are a horror buff like my boyfriend and I then you will really enjoy the gore factor in this series. I don’t want to go on to much as I am scared I give too much away and ruin it for you. I’m guessing that this will be signed up for a season two, well I hope so after the way that this first season ended. It left you totally wanting more, i hate when that happens! Oh well we will have to wait till 2014!

Thanks for reading
