Was the opening of Season Two kino or a lazy attempt to get viewer attention as most in medias res openings?
Also, why do people feel as though Season Three went downhill?
I felt it had more freedom than the other seasons even though it was adapting two of the novels.

>why do people feel as though Season Three went downhill?
beats me - I thought it bottomed out midway through S1, with its single-episode arcs connected flimsily for a veneer of continuity
Ryder Moore
S3 went full arthouse and a lot of peope didn't like how boring episodes 1-3 were.
However, as soon as Jack appeared in Italy things felt as exciting as late S2 and it did not let up until the end.

Because the 10 minute foodie scenes and scenery born killed the pacing of the series and felt like the old gay guy shoved his head up his own ass to get a whiff.

people on Cred Forums realized it was popular on tumblr in season 3 so had to hate it

NO ONE THINKS THAT YOU PLEB

Well I don't know what they think, but people have said it certainly

I'm amazed that they were able to do all those crazy fight scenes and have them fit perfectly into a Hannibal tv show of all things
Kevin Rivera
can you fill me in what show you guys are talking about here

That's where Morpheus and Hannibal fight right from the beginning, right? I loved it, it helped keep things tense. I lost track of the show in season 3, though, it got a little too artsy for my taste.
IMO, if you cast Lawrence Fishburne in anything, you might as well try to cram a fight scene in there.

"Hannibal", a tv show about Hannibal Lecter and this FBI detective named Will something or other. It's great, really nails the horror/gore stuff while still staying "classy" and interesting.
Hudson Lewis
S3 definitely started slow. It got a little weird in places too. Dr DeMournier (sp?) and Hannibal in hiding for the entirety. That halfassed attempt at injecting the Rising story into the middle of things and never doing anything with it. It wasn't bad, but I did feel like it dropped in quality a bit.
It's too bad it didn't get picked up because I think it had more to offer. If they could have been secure in their renewal, they might not have forced so much and could have fully fleshed (kek) out all story lines.
Jeremiah Reed
I feel like the Italy segment perhaps could have been more condensed but I thought the Verger aspects of the first half were better.
I think "Hannibal" is one of the weaker Thomas Harris sources in the first place, so it was better than I expected.
The backstory was quite sloppily handled but I never really found "Hannibal Rising" to be an adequate origin in the first place, I feel as though Hannibal should have some mystique.
I feel like the second half was stronger, and half a season was more than long enough to do the best version of Red Dragon there is.
I really hope for a renewal someday but without the rights to Silence of the Lambs I don't know what they can do, and even if they did I don't know what they could have done afterwards.
Perhaps it is best it ended when it did.
Christopher Myers
I appreciated them redoing Rising and making it 10 times better
Logan Taylor
Yeah, I agree with all of this. It was a bittersweet ending, but it might have been time. Other than turning into a murder of the week type show, I don't see what direction it could've headed.
I just wish they had renewed so they could have devoted the time it needed. Maybe like the other user said, they could have condensed Italy to tell the origin story properly.
Also, did NBC fuck them over for potentially getting picked up by other networks? It seemed like they kind of dragged it put then abruptly cancelled it and all the stars signed to other projects before Netflix and the others had a chance to pick it up.
Thomas Kelly
I thought the first half was worse of S3, but the second half brought it back.
Isaiah Brooks
Netflix couldn't pick them up because they had a deal for exclusive streaming with Amazon.
Also, Bryun Fuller was already scheduled to do his next TV show which scared some places away, since they would have to wait a year or do it without him.
Jason Nguyen
Or rather, Netlfix could have renewed the show but they wouldn't be able to stream it until the deal with Amazon ran out.
Nicholas Ward
I only watch Chef's Table because the combination of classical music overlayed on top of Michelin Star quality cooking gives me a Hannibal boner. Does this make me a bad person?
Jaxson Sullivan
Yes
Daniel Clark
beggining of season 3 will be looked at as one of the biggest achievments of the medium in 10-15 years
Cooper Flores
I don't think it was bad, I think it was the closest to the vision that Fuller had than perhaps the rest of the series.
The procedural aspects of the other seasons seem almost like a crutch to support the viewers through the weirder arty shit- this was absent in Italy.
I wonder if Fuller would have done anything any differently to keep the show on air if he would always rather not compromise the show's artistic integrity.

Wow, I really need to start watching blackish.
