- Welcome to my latest review. In today's video we will be taking a look at the TV series 'Hannibal'. Hannibal is without a doubt one of the best TV series of all time. It is a blend of psychological horror and crime drama featuring the cat and mouse games of Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelson). Hannibal is an utter triumph when it comes to the fantastic cinematography, editing and music.

The reason the pacing is so good is because Bryan Fuller was fully aware that each season could be the last, so he crafted all of them with that in mind. He made the season finales able to be the *series* finale if need be. It was out of necessity but I realized that it’s actually such a clever way to make a tv show?? Because it has a set destination, all the pieces you leave to get there are important and nothing is out of place or messy. Other shows could stand to follow in Hannibal’s footsteps tbh
tbh, that could also really F up the pacing, as evidenced by Legend of Korra. That show has a bit of a start and stop motion because the show writers and runners thought they were getting canceled every season. I don't think Korra is bad or anything, but I think it would have been much better if storylines would have been allowed to breathe over several seasons.
@@AnnekeOosterink f*** Nickelodeon for ruining the show but we should also thank them to giving us another avatar series. The animation and fighting scenes in Korra are top notch and Korra dealing with ptsd was really well portrayed.
@@avish878 oh absolutely, I think korra is great, I think it could have been a lot better if Nickelodeon hadn't screwed them over so much.
the contrasting sex scenes were incredible because the pairings switch in the end! margot ends up with alana and will end up with hannibal! Just realized that omg
also just so well done for a tv sex scene, something we’ve seen done to death but the directors and editors knocked it out of the park.
exactlyyyy, it's not alana and will, it's hannibal and will
i'm going to watch hannibal with my family soon- i've already seen it and i'm contemplating how many jokes i should make about will and hannibal XD
It’s like a kaleidoscopic dynamic, even the format in which the sex scene between Margot and Alana was presented is so suggestive
I don't share the same enthusiasm....the show takes liberties that don't bother me but dosen't do , most of the cases anything...if you gonna swipe off the genders of characters may as well let them suffer the consequences of their actions...the reporter lady in the original movie is a sleazy scumbag...so he gets in an arc of redemption by confronting his actions to the killer....guess what... the women version dosen't spies on her faults and nothing happens ; only help characters for her own porspuses and okey doeky ! Can't say the same for the director who is also sleazy in a different level but he received a harrowing fate rather than the women....
Also lots of scenes with the psychiatrist are dull as fuck...smart writting...but the deliver fell so numb and narcissistic...
And lots of Areas of season 3 are very rush ( also i can understand why due to the red light) but i have to have on account ...
Will is not exactly a very interesting protagonist in my opinion, but Hannibal's actor is very good....my only gripe was he dosent fit the pattern of a sociopath, sadistic egotistical maniac....hannibal love is something more platonic , obsesive compulsive, who confronts morals and proclivities of other people in a very vicious manner...obviously a result of sexual repression....but here is a Don John...
To me it miss the mark in so many things that i can barley give it a 7/10
Honestly I think (wait let me *explain*) that Made does the best Hannibal. BUT Hopkins was portraying post-capture Hannibal, and they have a very short amount of time to imprint a certain message on the audience: this guys in a basement of a mental asylum behind a solid plastic wall...and you should still be terrified of him.
....however
I'd like to invite you to imagine Hopkins' Hannibal as your fucking therapist. Yeah, you'd need to see a second therapist to deal with the trauma of him being your therapist. But Mads? Theres one scene, with the guy who wants to be his bff, go watch it, where you CAN imagine everything he says in that scene from the patients POV and see how much he genuinely cares about his well being. And at the exact same time you can see he's never struggled so hard in his entire life to not eat someone's face. That is fucking incredible.
Yeah I rewatched The Silence of the Lambs very recently and his portrayal of Hannibal is incredibly intimidating and so vulgar as well. I would've loved to see how Hopkins would've portrayed him pre-capture 😊 Thanks for watching
I love Mikkelsens tiny little face twitches when he glances for only a second at the dirty tissue Franklyn has dared to put on his end table. You can just tell he really really wants to gnaw Franklyn's fingers off at the audacity of dirtying up his shiny glass and chrome table but is really holding back. He manages to show that rage by only the tiniest of mouth twitches, so good!
Mads Hannibal was a kind Gentleman in the light and a terrifying Monster in the dark he was brilliant as Hannibal
Mads could have convinced me to cook myself. I think he’s got that kinda charisma.
Mads Mikkelsen's performance makes this show worth watching all by itself. I honestly like his version of Lecter better than Hopkins'. He's just so much more nuanced and charismatic. He also feels more in control of his urges than Hopkins' take.
Hannibal needs to be continued over at netflix! That final episode was.....amazing. It's also surprisingly romantic in a kind of asexual, alien way. And that cliffhanger!
The reason it feels romantic to you is because Bryan Fuller wanted it that way. He told Siouxsie Sioux (the Person who made the beautiful Soundtrack "Love Crime" from 3x13) this context for the ending Song: "This is a love story. A love story between a full-fledged psychopath and someone who has a nascent psychopathic abilities... It's a love relationship between two man: one of them is a cannibal and one of them understands those cannibalistic instincts all too well" He didn't intend on this love story but said "It naturally evolved because I guess I was absorbing so much of Mads and Hugh's performance, which felt like it was growing in intimacy, and it would have been inauthentic to not address it"
But HELL YEAH I really really want a season 4 even though the cliff(hehe)hanger was so perfect! All I can do is hope someday he will have enough money or maybe Netflix covers them!
I wouldn't prefer a S4,for Netflix I think that they would ruined like every series , putting too much effort in the intimacy scenes about will and Hannibal or they wouldn't do that,I just want a S4 like the others,by Bryan fuller
YES.
I admit, I watched the whole show in like 6 days (oops)
And dedicated a whole day just for season 2 (successfully), it's THAT amount of captivating. I love Mads so much, and I just wanna say...
Hannigram lives on forever❤
I'm conflicted that I didn't know about this show by the time it was airing.
Also in my top 5. Brilliant series. Season 3 is pure poetry.
tell me your top 5
@@vitrickmartinez7115 If you're interested, my top 5 would be:
Doctor Who, The Leftovers, Hannibal, Sherlock, True Detective S1.
Runners up; Mr Robot, Peaky Blinders, The Expanse, Boardwalk Empire, The Wire, Luther, Gangs of London S1, Game of Thrones, Vikings S1-4, Line of Duty, Gomorrah

Just pals being pals💀😂
I honestly started Hannibal just because of the fact that I am an ASPD (Aka Sociopath). I was curious to see what kind of stereotypies would they use on us. Wasn't really interested in watching, really. But oh boy how wrong was I. I am not a series type. This one is a piece of art. Well written, well directed, feels more like a movie rather than a show.
Highly recommended.
"I was curious to see what kind of stereotypies would they use on us."
And what did you think? Obviously no two people with asdp are the same (and won't have the same take on the portrayal of as behavior), but I'm curious and would like to read your thoughts
Amazing how this show will continue to be studied in film schools for years to come. Not one unnecessary word, line or scene in the entire 3 years of the series. I am not one for lots of violence, but if you start from the first episode, and can make it through, you won’t turn back. I’ve probably seen it at least 10 times and I always see something new and fresh.
yall study hannibal at uni
This show is a masterpiece.
I'm proud of Denmarks Mads Mikkelsen, for putting this show on one of my fave youtubers top 5!
I really hope we get season 4 in this lifetime 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh my god I love this series so much, I always wished it got more attention so I’m extremely happy that you’re making a video about it!
15:16 are ya not going to comment on the paintings in the background on either side of the door one as Simonetta Vespucci and the other as Sandro Botticelli, will being Simonetta and Hannibal Botticelli symbolizing Hannibal's love for will...
anyways after reading a little bit about the primavera it's now my headcanon that if will and Hannibal were to get married it would be in the spring...
This video is an oldie but a goodie and I loooove to see people pouring love and admiration to this well-crafted show. The writing to this day makes me die, I remember loving the shit out of the show when it first aired, being hear-broken when it was cancelled but with time moving on. Now I chose to rewatch the show and I'm even more surprise at it, I used to not love that much the first season but now I realized how goddamn smart it is, literally it sets everything for the future, every episode, every conversation, every clever editing, everything is a clue... I can't believe this show... I only wish it can be revived
Really appreciated this analysis. Such a rich show it's great hearing fellow fans picking out their favourite bits of cinematography
I love that series!!! Madz Mikkelsen is a badass!
This is my favorite show of all time.
I only got through the second season (not because I didn’t like it but because I forgot about it during the season break) but you inspired me to rewatch it all the way through! 💕
It's your Muse. I'll explain later.
Anyway- I watched Hannibal from season 1, and even wrote a letter filled impotent rage to the network when it was cancelled.( I think it was NBC). Glad you liked it as much as I did.
Breaking Bad is almost tied with The Wire, and Rome as my ALL TIME favorites, but Hannibal is in my top 10.
I love Anthony Hopkins SO MUCH ( seriously-- I'd marry that man, age difference be damned) and yet I still LOVED this casting of Hannibal the Cannibal.💕
Hello! Could you please share your top 10? I would like some good recs
@@mariafoivi3599 Top 10? DAMN that's a toughie.
What genre T.V. shows are your favorites?
I need to know if I should reccomend shows like:
"TRUE DETECTIVE" (CREEPY, GRITTY CRIME/(&Cultish for 1st Season), or if you prefer Comedy like the hysterical and oft underestimated/misunderstood; " It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia ", or
Sci-Fi/High Fantasy/Period- Pieces like; Raised By Wolves (straight Sci-Fi with undertones from other genres, or Game of Thrones which was EXTREMELY well done & Solid 'til last TWO SEASONS, OR just THE Last SEASON ( depending on who you ask);
which is now filming a prequel to "Game Of Thrones" and is named "The House Of The Dragon".
Mayhaps you are feeling in more of a "Futuristic "Morality-Tale/Sci-Fi/Post-Apocalyptic/Thriller/Mystery such as the excellent " Westworld".
Or maybe something that almost seems like it is a "Paranormal seeming Tale of God's and Demi-Gods like the troubled but fantastic show;
" American Gods " which just got canceled before it's promised Fourth season which was canceled prematurely because Starz couldn't get it's head out of it's ass.
I got tons I can reccomend, just let me know! =)
Rome & Hannibal are my top 2, Rome lost it because of their super compressing multiple seasons into season 1&2. I know Rome was supposed to be several seasons 5-6? That would have been great. So much story! But stuffed into 2 seasons, well, it lost a lot.
For people that told you to calm down…ha! I get you. Your interest in psychology + understanding of what makes a great movie makes it hard not to gush about this amazing show.
This show is a piece of art.
Glad to see you back, Sam!
My Bf absolutely loved that show... we've seen it through a few times.
I had to get him to stop letting it play while we slept because I was dreaming weird shit lol.
Big hugs
I just watched Hannibal last month it’s so good
I wish we could’ve gotten a season 4 I’m so interested on what would’ve happened
I'd say the first half of season 3 wasn't that great it got too self indulgent with the symbolism and even dialogue but when they got to the red dragon killer all the way to the end it was amazing and had a perfect ending to a TV show also teasing hannibal being alive in the post credit scene was great because they could bring it back if they ever wanted to.
Man, I’m really hype for the book reviews if you decide to make a video on them. Hannibal’s backstory is so fuckin cool to me, and he’s been one of my favorite characters since I was a wee lad.
I rlly like this review! I hope u make more content like this
I'm going to comeback to this video as I'm so close to finishing Hannibal S2(with my personal rating of the show being around a 9.7 or 6 as of me being in Hannibal S2E11) and it's def one of my favorite shows def going to be within that top 10 range by the end of the show depending on how good season 3 is
How is it now?
@@hey8479 Peak
really good video!
After episode 6 with Dr. Abel Gideon, I knew I found a masterpiece. It went from good to great. My fear was it was going to be like a procedural show. It's not that! You can only have so many crazy killers and cannabals. For it's universe, there was no overkill.
Hey Sam! Hope you have a great day!
forgot a very important reason.. the main actor is danish :)
This is where I get to know you and I have a feeling that you are going to become one of my favorite people in the media.
Hannibal's lover.
Ooo I wouldn't mind being Hannibals lover. Then again I think Will Graham has that position. I'm devastated that something that's so beautifully crafted get's cancelled after three seasons. Always appreciate a Hannibal fan. It's funny you'd comment today, when I started rewatching it the day before yesterday. Just got up to the point where Eddie Izzard joins the show. Now I think S1 was a bit more formulaic than S2 and 3, but damn it's so good. A lot of 'detective' shows can become much of a muchness, where Hannibal explores the human psyche, with vivid and finely tuned direction, deep and complex characters performed to a t. It nails each aspect, where many shows would only shine in one or two of its components. Sorry, completely rambling at this point. Glad you enjoyed.
I loved this tv show so fucking much. I wish it hadn't been canceled
Do you have the books Phyz? I have. I'll see if I can find them as I have moved twice in the last 6 years....😁
read them all after i watched the show, so so good. the last two books drag a bit but that’s less of the authors fault and more of the studios pressure, still an amazing series to study.
Totally agree
Love hannibal!!
The books are good but way different.
Still like them.
I was very very sceptical about this series and decided to pass on it, because I love the books, and Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Lecter is one of the best casting choices I can think of. However, I hate the way they switched the ending of the move Hannibal to something very different - I guess the original ending was to scandalous.
However, I always enjoyed glimpses into the past of Hannibal, and if you recommend this, I might give it a try.
It does seem, however, that they mixed the "future" into the past - Verger feeding his face to pigs (Hannibal) instead to dogs, Lecter being found on the museum of torture devices and watching the crowd (Hannibal) and so on and so forth.
Also the fact that Graham entertains a relationship with Hannibal, when Hannibal originally almost killed him the moment he found out it was Hannibal who murdered all the victims, and Hannibal gets caught immediately after.
You should give it a try! The reason why they emerged so many plot points it's because they have the rights of only three books of the saga: Red Dragon, Hannibal and Hannibal Rising; so without Silence of the Lambs and even without Clarice Starling, they had to go around that and find a clever way to adapt and tell the story, which in my opinion they did succed.
It's a great series .. a very dark romantic one
I also watched many many episodes of Luther.
Also, I love Chopin!
Hi cutie hope you are doing well. Thank you for doing this review. My friend told me about it a lil bit ago but she has questionable taste on this kind of things. But I have been curious about it and wondering if I should give it a try. Your opinion on it has been insightful. I will give it a chance and watch it as soon as I can.
I enjoy watching your channel and tried to send a friend request on Facebook but was unable to. It says your Facebook page no longer exists. 😕 I don't do Twitter or many other social media apps/pages as it's not healthy for me. If you do still have a Facebook I would love to be a follower and send a friend request to you. I am always on the hunt for someone to have a good conversation with.
I am watching to see when you are doing a live show as well I enjoyed the last one I was able to join in on. I think your voice is very calming and I enjoy hearing what you have to say on stuff.
Have a wonderful day/night, I get confused on the time thing lol, and thank you.
Micheal Pitt was replaced in Season 3. Unfortunately he has a history of being a very difficult actor to work with. This is one of the reasons why his character was killed off in the second season of Boardwalk Empire.
Saaaamm hii im so hapoy ur ok
10/10
Polar
Kept saying series instead of season lol
Aha sorry that's a bit of a british-ism, I still get them wrong to this day lol
Also, am I the *only* person that didnt get that the black Hannibal with antlers was a fucking Wendigo?
Je viens juste de lire ceci sur Wikipedia : "Comment vaincre un Wendigo ? En faisant fondre son coeur de glace." 😢
Bien vu, Will !

Holy based
I'm actually rewatching Hannibal and it's even better than I remember. Just a sheer work of art, every aspect of the show is at 100%. So often a series will be lacking in a few areas, it's a real sign of quality when that's not the case. The music, direction, cinematography, editing, acting, set design, prosthetics and make-up, writing and even comedy are all on point
@@PhyzikTalks Top tier television for sure. Currently it sits on my top 10
@@errwhattheflip Me too. Out of interest, can I ask what else would be in your top 10?
@@PhyzikTalks Mostly standard picks like The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Mr. Robot, maybe Game of Thrones, Bojack Horseman, Sons of Anarchy, and The Wire
I wish there were more female characters that don't die. Beverly is the best
Only 1 series, 3 seasons.
It totally is *Ass Burgers.*

Calm down
great one
script your videos before you film them. also instead of explaining and complimenting a series, analyse why you are complimenting them. i don't care if alana is an "interesting" character - i want to know why
Lol cheers for the advice on a video I made 4 years ago? I'm very aware of how much of a mess my older videos are
