Hannibal (NBC)

I cannot blame them. The series was plagued with all sorts of mistakes, not talking about having several months long break in the middle of the seasons, and then continuing that same example by have more than a few week breaks between the episodes. I bet NBC even had their hand in the production, guiding the writers to write episodes to please bosses and so on. which is such a shame as this series had some potential.

Hurrah! NBC are giving Hannibal a third series!

'Hannibal' Renewed By NBC For Season 3

It may have low ratings, but it's critically acclaimed, has the youngest median viewer age for 10pm dramas, good DVR numbers, and, possibly most importantly, a very low licensing fee, which is set to become even lower.

Maybe we will see all seven series of Bryan Fuller's vision after all? :p

That is such good news!
 
That is good news. On episode 8 of the 2nd season and it is as good if not better than the S1.
 
Thought it was time to resurrect this thread. A while back, I bought season one on DVD, watched it and became hooked. I recently got myself season two. Once again, I'm mesmerised by this disturbing, classy and clever show.

Once you shake off the memories of the movies and watch it for what it is rather than what you think it should be, it's up there with the very best of contemporary TV. (y)
 
They've already got posters for season 3.:D
 
Season 3 Episode 1 "Antipasto" Bonsoir!
The art direction in this episode was superb as per usual and the new setting brings some really beautiful visuals as well. Great to see Eddie Izzard return even if it's only in flashbacks or Hannibal's imagination. (Not quite sure which.) Their dinner table scene was fantastic especially the "It's only cannibalism if we're equals" line. Weird not having much of Will Graham or Laurence Fishburne in this episode. Gillian Anderson and Hannibal carry the episode well enough and it was interesting exploring their weird relationship. This episode wasn't big on gore but it was there in subtle doses. What it lacks in splatter in makes up for in eerie mood and atmosphere, suspense and some pretty disturbing imagery.
The preview for the rest of the season looks insane I can't wait!
 
We loved the first two seasons of this. The end of season two was really good. This has to be the darkest most gruesome ahow on telly. I don'tthink I've watched anything quite as disturbing.
We will probably have to wait a while for s3 on dvd.
 
"Primavera"
Great opening scene. Not only is there a good bit of splatter and gore but Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy were great together. Glad to get back to Will's story. The wave of blood, Will losing consciousness and the tea cup shattering in reverse were all really cool visuals. Will's dream sequence was also very trippy and the knife stabbing through his stomach from the inside made me cringe. I thought the scenes with the Italian detective were interesting. Will's hallucination at the il Mostro murder scene was really disturbing and I liked the reveal that Hannibal was watching him. The catacomb scenes were pretty creepy and I love what this show is able to do with mood and atmosphere.
Preview for next week looks awesome.
 
I'll have to wait for season 3 to come out on DVD before I get the chance to see it.
After the quality of series one and two, it is a 'must buy' for me:)
 
I really liked the first two seasons, but the first couple of episodes of season 3 have been so excessively heavy and disjointed I'm finding it really hard to even follow them. I hope once all the pieces get put back together it becomes coherent again.
 
Episode 3 "Secondo"
Some excellent dialogue throughout this episode. The scene where the Italian guy takes the icepick to the head was fantastic. The fountain scene with the snails and lightning bugs looked incredible. Glad Laurence Fishburne is back. The Will and Chiyoh scenes were pretty good. The human firefly scene was just insane.
Preview for next week looks interesting.

I think if you just look at it as an 'alternative' or 'extreme' cookery programme you should be ok.
 
Just once I would like to start watching a series that is a little different and have it actually run its course. My wife has almost reached the stage of not watching anything until it has finished, so fed up is she with programmes getting axed just as they are getting interesting.
 
If one show deserves a bit of longevity, it's this one.
A work of quality, of which, the directors and writers can be justifiably proud.:cry:
