Hannibal

[The Evil One]

Hannibal is an...interesting show to pin down. It's essentially a crime show that serves as a prequel to Thomas Harris' Red Dragon. It's helmed by professional death-enthusiast Bryan Fuller, and stars Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal and Hugh Dancy as Will Graham.

What's so brilliant about it though is how it's directed - there's a unique visual feel that turns the grotesqueries of the strangely-high amount of artistic serial killers into a weirdly compelling beauty. It's hallucinogenic as balls as well, utilising symbolism and dream sequences with giddy abandon.

Also, like I said, Lawrence Fishburne being tolerable. Hooray.

If you haven't seen it yet I would highly recommend it. The second season's showing on NBC right now.
