Review of Hannibal

Hannibal (2013–2015)
4/10
Starts off interesting, then becomes very twisted and repetitive and laughable

Warning: Spoilers
This show starts off interesting. An interesting murder gets solved, a second one in the next episode. But after a while the show gets so twisted it becomes hard to believe and even seems like a joke.

  • The murders are all gruesome and weird as if the murderers want to make a piece of art with the crime scene and body. After the 5th episode, it's a bit funny that they stumble upon wicked and weird crime scene every single day, like regular murders don't happen anymore.
  • The main character (Will) gets these super accurate visions of how the crime occurred just because he is extremely emphatic. At first, it's believable: he's just some kind of genius who can put himself in the mind of the killer and deduce from that. But sometimes, oh man, it's like the facts are pulled out of nowhere. I think Will is actually a spirit medium and goes in contact with the dead to know exactly what happened.
  • Thinking about it, Will is the ONLY investigator the FBI has and his visions are their only resource to catch the killer. Where are the investigations, like finding clues, profiling suspects or interrogating witnesses? FBI doesn't need that. They just need Will's vision and they end up EASILY finding the bad guy. lol
  • Will gets these INSANE hallucinations, blackouts and cannot distinguish between vision or reality -- HE GETS COMPLETELY NUTS-- yet his boss is like, whatever I'll watch over him, he'll be fine and lets him work as an investigator for the FBI. Anyone in their right mind would say "I think you need some vacation Will".
  • Lecter is Will's psychiatrist, yet the more time passes the more Will goes insane. Nobody cares? Nobody asks Lecter "What the **** is going on with Will" and nobody questions Lecter's competence to treat Will's illness. He's a psychiatrist, he knows what he's doing, but the fact is that will is literally going insane in front of their eyes and nobody cares. lol


At first, this show appears to be clever and interesting, but when really thinking about it, it's actually pretty silly and dumb.
