Hannibal TV Series ( Season 01 ) :-
Finally completed season 01 Hannibal just for Lector , A good thriller series . Will ( Hugh Dancy ) has a special powers through which he can empathize with the Serial killers and once he steps in to a crime scene , he can recreate it and enact virtually how the murder took place. the catching point is..though he can see the way the murder happened , he cant see the killer but instead he can feel like the killer with a clue on how the killers mental condition was during the kill. Matrix star Laurence fishburne ( Jack ) comes in as Head of FBI . While Will helps is needed for FBI , it takes a toll on will mentally with many nightmares to follow. Thats how Hannibal lector comes in as a Unofficially appointed psychiatrist for Will by jack. So rest of season follows on how Hannibal lector manipulates the behavior of Will for his needs and to hide his dark secrets beneath it and how will starts to break down himself while he tried to save many lives and solves many serial murders during the process falls rest of story.
The only good thing on the entrie season is the stunning performance of Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal Lector. He just lives up to the name , be it when he fries the human liver with flava beans or when he dresses up the salad with human spleen and kidney. These scenes are awkwardly catchy and initially it kinds of irritates but later this gets normal as every episode starts showing his new menus with Human organs and how much he liked to cook using them and creating new recipes. Even till the last minute none able to find the actual master serial killer is Hannibal lector but when Will finds out that at last episode , he is already in jail as Hannibal perfectly execute the plan and uses Will for his needs. Hugh Dancy as Will did perform well atleast for the first 3 episodes , later on he catches up with the strange disease due to which he acts up as a drug addict till the end of season which is disgusting causing nausea after some point. To see it really , Wills power has nothing to do in solving the crimes , though they show as if he does something , but the fact remains is he does nothing but just see how murder is done without seeing the murderer face. I guess Dexter would find this in a much easier way with just Blood splatter analysis. I felt Dex is more good then this Hugh. Seeing how Hannibal uses Will , we can always feel that Will is a big time loser and he is no wonder boy anymore , a big time show stopper. Jack acting was good , running here and there with single barrel gun but not even a shot was fired. He should come out of the matrix feel and start to think this is hannibal. When everything is a big let down..the only perfect character lives up to it and makes us see through all episodes is none other then our Fav Hannibal Lector. Awesome and really wonderful performance. Natural acting. But fact i couldnt deny is that i had to place antony Hopkins in his place many times , just to feel the true Hannibal Lector performance. Damn if Antony Hopkins would have accepted to do this series...this would have been thunderous .
