by the powers of the damned, let this thread rise from its dark slumber. i call upon the necromantic gods to revive this thread.
just finished season three of hannibal.
quick explanation. this series is based of the books by thomas harris. the events happen before the events in red dragon (chronologically, before the silence of the lambs). we meet will graham, a criminal analyst (for lack of a better term), who partners up with psychiatrist hannibal lecter to solve a series of crimes by a serial killer nicknamed the chesapeake ripper.
the series is aesthetically beautiful as it is deranged. i loved every minute of it. not just because it elevates gore to an art level (litterally. the corpses are made to look beautifully refined), but because it is a show that has a real vibe to it. the mysteries make you ponder, the cliffhangers keep you on the edge of your seat, and the acting... oh, my, the acting. truly a perfect cast, and gorgeously shot. the scenario is full of twists and turns that keep you guessing.
i'm not much for shows, but this leviathan rocked my world hard. i loved the books, the movies (well, the silence of the lambs and red dragon, the other two were a miss), and this show is a worthy heir to the books.
go watch it now.
