Show Title:Hannibal Audience Rating: Mature Content Warnings: Violence, Graphic Blood/Gore, Disturbing Imagery Language, Sexual Content, Cannibalism Length of Episodes: 45 minutes/1 hour Length of Series: 3 seasons, 39 episodes Why you recommend it: A crime procedural as well as a horror ongoing mystery surrounding the character of Hannibal Lecter, the series has long been considered a masterpiece not just visually but also with the writing and the performances by the actors involved. The fandom presence has long been praising the show, obviously for the Will/Hannibal dynamic of course which is supported by the showrunner and the cast with it being a love story/gothic romance between the characters, but it truly is an experience in itself as a whole. Also, the show has some interesting dialogue, which may seem ridiculous if done by anyone else but for some reason it just works with this show. It can become Shakespearean when spoken by any one of the actors, particularly that of Mads Mikkelsen. And then you have lines such as "is your social worker in that horse?" and a subtle clever puns about cannibalism. It's amazing.
I have always described this show as "gorgeously grotesque", so if you are easily squeamish this might not be for you.
