"Bonsoir!" Hannibal "Antipasto" Season Premiere

Television's best drama returns with an appetite full of unbelievable moments.

In the season premiere of Hannibal, we watch two character Hannibal and Bedelia, now living in Europe and taking over someone's place.

We meet Hannibal riding a into town with his motorcycle, searching for someone and later follows him home. He cooks and eats the guy and surprises the guy's wife.

The episode goes back and forth on flashback, one with Gideon and Hannibal having dinner. There were multiple flashbacks as they were having dinner. They were eating Gideon's leg and arm.

Other flashbacks were those of the events after the season finale. I really was really amazed with Anderson's character as we see her dealing with Hannibal. But also that maybe she can't stand being with him after knowing what he's capable of.

We also got to see flashbacks of Bedelia when she had one of Hannibal's patients and the guy was dead on her floor and she's covered in blood.

But with one guy who Hannibal meet at a party comes by looking for a professor, he gets into Hannibal's grill and tells him that he wants to untwist things. Well, he surly got the untwisting down pat as Hannibal invited him back home and beats the crap out of him.

The guy is killed and later we see Hannibal on a train. As he looks beyond the window, he makes a heart shape paper model. We see that he left the guy's body in a cathedral. Left for Will to find as we see in next week's promo.

I think that this episode was more of Bedelia character development  She doesn't seem to be bothered but near the end she seems to not want to be around but I think Hannibal kind of changed her mind.

The visual effects were better than ever. The cooking sequence was flat out amazing and one of the thing. Overall this episode was a 10/10. Loved how it just focuses on Hannibal and Bedelia.

Next week's episode the hunt is on fro Hannibal as Will get's his message.

You can catch Hannibal Thursday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

Hannibal: A Television Appetite to Die For.

It's consider the best drama on television by critics and also was voted "Best in Show" on Hulu.com. Not to mention that it's scored a perfect 100% from Rotten Tomatoes. Hannibal is a must see and a must watch it live. Hannibal should be part of your Thursday night menu for drama.

Developed by Bryan Fuller (created Pushing Daises) takes the characters from the novel Red Dragon and make a different version of what we have read and seen in the Thomas Harris novels and movies.

The series deals with Will Graham (played by Hugh Dancy) who's tasked by FBI agent Jack Crawford (played by Laurence Fishburne) investigating and trying to catch the Chesapeake Ripper. But with the investigation weighting heavy on Graham, he's being supervised by psychiatrist Dr. Hannibal Lecter, who turns out to be the Ripper, himself.

That's how the series started off and from last season, Graham gets held in a psychiatric prison for he was to believe to be the Chesapeake Ripper. But by the end it everyone from Graham and Crawford knew it was Hannibal and it turned out to be one hell of a season two.

The show has added new characters since the season had started  from Gilliam Anderson (The X Files & The Fall) as Dr. Lecter's psychiatrist Dr. Bedalia Du Maurier and Raul Esparaza (Law & Order SVU) as Dr. Frederick Chilton.

It's so interesting to watch how the relationship between Graham and Lecter has gone from season one to the end of season two.

I can't say enough on how great this show is. From the compelling characters to the writing. The stories that takes these characters is like you think you know where it's going but soon they get you and it's like your shocked or stunned. You never thought that it would the way it did.


Also I can't say enough with the visual effects in the series. To put it in a way that I could possibly say it, I would describe the series as a psychological horror crime art series.

The effects just takes your breathe away and blows your mind. I have never seen a series that uses such beautiful effects on television and I've been watching television for more than 20 years.

And not to forget that the series does deal with cooking. I can't get enough of Hannibal's cooking techniques. I get hungry by the time the show is over. It's so interesting on how you would cook a human leg, but I think I'll just stick with the chicken and pork.  

This season on Hannibal, the show starts on a new slate. So if you haven't seen the series before, this might be the best time to tune in. Hannibal is on the run along with Dr. Maurier. Will and Jack are on the hunt for Hannibal and well here's a preview of season three.



I say this again, Hannibal is one of the best series on network television. There's no other show like it and I recommend tuning in this Thursday at 10/9c on NBC to see what I really mean.

Mads Mikkelsen is such an amazing actor as Hannibal, he's a different version towards Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal in the movies. And adding Anderson to regular cast will make it even better along with Lecter.

Hannibal is literally a television appetite that's just to die for and I think that everyone who has seen the series would agree. Heck, it's Entertainment Weekly's #1 Show to watch. There's nothing that can't be said about that.

You can catch the season premiere of Hannibal Thursday, June 4th at 10/9c on NBC.
