Gifted criminal profiler Will Graham has a unique way of thinking that allows him to empathize with anyone, including psychopaths. But while helping the FBI pursue a particularly complicated serial killer, he decides he could use some help and enlists the brilliant psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter. The two form a partnership and it seems that there is no villain they can't catch together, but Lecter harbors a dark secret. His own brilliant mind has gone to the dark side and he has more in common with the criminals they hunt than Will could possibly imagine.

Pete Cashmore Guardian 01/15/2019
Once we arrive at the halfway point of the second series, though -- by which time, the spinning of narrative plates has reached a frenzy -- things get silly. Sadly, it is partly Eddie Izzard's fault. Go to Full Review David Sims The Atlantic 01/14/2019
This second-season run has been so extraordinary, and Bryan Fuller clearly has so much story left to tell, so the fact that NBC will continue to air this extraordinary show is really heartening. Go to Full Review Filipa Jodelka Guardian 01/14/2019
This programme certainly provokes some interesting questions: how narrow is the line twixt good and bad? Can one become contaminated by evil? How tasty is Hannibal's sausage surprise? Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand May 30
If American crime TV tends toward either restrained realism of television journalism or the lurid excess of the tabloid press, "Hannibal" draws from Bosch and Blake and the ecstasy of death and martyrdom in religious artwork. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media 02/12/2020

Of course, the most fascinating parts of Hannibal come from its titular character; and in "Kaiseki", we get to see the many layers of Hannibal (and the terrific, supremely underrated performance of Mads Mikkelson in the role). Go to Full Review Dan Seitz Uproxx 01/15/2019
So much of this show is built around talking that the actors need to be damn near perfect, and they usually are. Mikkelsen in particular stands out because although as a character he's utterly monstrous, you still feel bad for the guy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Natasha F @DeerTaz Jan 3 The best show I've ever seen. Spoke directly to my wheelhouse. The performance here were wonderful. The artistry of the set design floored me. The dialogue was so very pretentious in the most wonderful way possible. Then there's the plot...oh the plot. What a fantastic start to finish. It's been a few years since I first watched Hannibal, and I always come back. The finale was cathartic, devastating, and beautiful. Every important character felt complex, like the writers really understood exactly who they were. Not just tropes here folks! Fully fleshed out - somehow the absurdity of these villains, and our main cast, felt realistic. There will never be another show like this. Ever. See more James B @James_B Dec 15 Season 2 was just something else it's just spectacular and more interesting than the first. See more C S Aug 22 Season 2 was top notch. Perfectly executed series. See more Gareth v @geewah Aug 13 A daring and often brilliant season that occasionally gets lost in its own artistry. See more Ronak R May 18 More like a horror villain with supernatural luck than a real-world serial killer. See more Adnan R 08/20/2024 unnecessary, dragging like a soap opera See more Read all reviews
