This stylized thriller tells an origin story of masterful manipulation.

Google ripped me off and charged me twice for Season 1 of Hannibal...I emailed them weeks ago and asked for a $9.99 to be put back on my account. They have the records of the double charge. Google refuses to acknowledge the double charge, leaving my account short by $9.99. Don't trust Google, Google Play, and their bogus "gift cards." This multi-billion dollar company has no compunction about cheating customers. Pathetic, Google.

Dancy's whiny american accent ruins the show despite otherwise good cast. Disturbing to anyone queasy from Law and Order gore. 3rs season is worst version of Manhunter, turned blind coworker into moron.

This is hands down the best show I have ever seen. The acting, dialogue, clothing, every meticulous detail truly makes this a masterpiece. It's a real shame it got cancelled during the 3rd season. Based on what I've read they couldn't get the viewings and one of the challenges is they kept moving the time slots around at the network and....the content is insanely graphic. This has the production value of something you would see on Starz or HBO. This show is a MUST SEE, w no distractions.
