if you get the opportunity, you should probably kill yourself

aren't police interrogations always taped

not an expert but I don't think saying that is like state of art best practice

[HPM]

he's a star detective in rural louisiana

realistically no one would care

[MonsieurUntitled]

It wouldn't matter, she basically gave a signed confession. Plus he said it afterwards, so once they get a confession the case is pretty much closed.

Marty is the yellow king, I'm already calling it

[SSchadenfreude]

Marty is the yellow king, I'm already calling it

it's probably marty

yah

[pooMonger]

personally, I'd be disappointed if Marty was the YK.

 

I don't think woody has it in him to be yagami light.

 

oh shit, that's right, death note. that's what rust and marty's relationship remind me of.

[pooMonger]

or maybe a more apt comparison would be keyser soze.

 

yeah i don't think woody has it in him to be kevin spacey.

[SSchadenfreude]

Marty is such a lovable misogynist

[YasserG]

Marty is such a lovable misogynist

how is he lovable?

[BRICK DOM]

yk is no one just a concept . . .

Fuckin A+ Hannibal. Man it feels good to have that show back on TV. The amount of menace Hugh Dancey is portraying and Mads Mikkelsen's terrifying mannerisms that give the viewer even the tiniest glimpse into his head are so creepy. Plus, that sickening feeling in the pit of your stomach that something far darker and deeper was going on the entirety of the first season feels, to me, like its being capitalized on.

 

The first season's plot was criticized as Hannibal's weaker point, but I would argue the show sometimes intentionally obfuscates particular plot points in return for tremendous pay off. In the meantime, people seemed to be missing out on the show's biggest strength by far: its visual language. It certainly makes an effort to adapt Baudelaire's notion that there is beauty in everything, and to describe your lover as a rotted corpse could be taken as a compliment. Also, the contrast between dreamy/mind-realm visuals and repressed/real memories has some stomach-turning moments...best to be prepared.

 

Anyway, my two cents. Thoroughly enjoyed the first episode, looking forwards to more.

[MonsieurUntitled]

I have it recorded, and I'm about to watch it while I eat my breakfast. Looking forward to it even more after your review. This is one of my more favored shows on regular tv, that and Person of Interest, thought sometimes it can have some cheesy lines with Reese, I still find it humorous and enjoyable. 

[Magsåvningsreserven]

poi is amazing, the lore and intertwining stories they've built up over the course of seasons 2 and 3 have been great to watch.

 

i'm saving hannibal for monday for 1-2 punch with TD, but season 2 is being acclaimed all over the place. 

[MonsieurUntitled]

Yeah I love the colors, and the cinematography of Hannibal. It  contends most top tier shows on HBO/Starz/Showtime.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Magsåvningsreserven]

it basically is tbh, it's hardly a 'network' show—you just have to look at all of the production companies behind hannibal. nbc just happens to air it.

[timber]

I love Hannibal. Season two already looks like it's going to be awesome. I have high hopes for it. 

 

True Detective is so good that it's sort of ruined most television for me - after one episode it became my favourite show ever. If I could write a script like that my life would be complete. 

[Cully]

The reveal left something to be desired...

[timber]

I loved it. And also that guy was a creep the first time we saw him, so I don't think it was supposed to be some big twist. 

 

One more episode: 

[Denton]

cannot keep all these cajuns straight

Here is the Marie Fontenot sacrifice clip. If you look closely at you can see someone who looks awfully close to the guy in the photo below, 4th one from the left.

 

 

Stop it at 1:36

and look at the 4th guy from the left.

 

 

 

Not saying this is the killer, just something that I noticed.

first ep of hannibal was great, but the show moving to friday nights worries me.  yeah, i realize so many people use dvr, etc now but the move def isn't a good thing.

[jayrock]

i dunno why i think marty's stepfather still comes into play with only an hour left, but i do

 

gonna have to marathon rewatch the season before the finale.

[MonsieurUntitled]

Yeah, I'm highly anticipating to reveal of those involved in the sacrifices. Definitely going to rewatch all previous episodes before the finale.

i wonder if marty'll go to his daughter's art show (at the end?) and all he'll see is a giant mural of a spiral or some shit…

 

i do think this was the weakest episode—but only because it felt like a hbo exec stepped in and said something like, 'guys we have to make srue everyone understands what's happened up til now'. surrounding that you still had killer lines (if you were drowning i'd throw you a barbell) and interactions. perhaps unfair to judge eps on their own in this format.

 

everything else like the photography, direction and even acting were dialed down, but again, being the penultimate episode I can perhaps see why.

going by the numbers, i'd say hbo will be putting it on the fast-track. also, this:

 

 

@friggenawesome One of the detriments of only having two POV characters, both men (a structural necessity). Next season…

 

 

 

 

 

 

ooooohh

Wait, what?

What's going on here? I'm serious, I don't understand what this is meant to showcase and I'm highly interested
