Hannibal

Post by **kater23** » Mon Jun 10, 2013 1:52 am

Is anyone else watching this?Good stuff, though I've wondered how they allow some of it on broadcast TV-but it's on at 10 so maybe that has something to do with it.

Also! A Bond connection as Mads Mikkelsen is playing Hannibal Lecter!

I want to watch it as I've heard it is great.

It is good.A lot of nods to the books even though it's the time before Red Dragon(the first Hannibal book) and eventually they're get to Red Dragon(in Season 4).Silence Of The Lambs and Hannibal(the book) are more up in the air as they don't have the rights to 'em.Hopefully they will,eventally!

I'll wait for Hanna-Barbera to produce a Hannibal Lecter Saturday morning cartoon series.

Hannibal-Barbera?

Hannibal is NOT a family friendly show. Some of the cast(not Mads, unfortunately)Hugh Dancy *girlish giggle*,and some of the producers ,directors and writers are going to be at ComiCon in San Diego next week.

I've started watching this at last. I'm off now - it's fried lungs for dinner again.

Are you liking it? I almost turned it off a few minutes into the first episode-couldn't figure out where they were going with it..but I stuck with it and I am glad I did!

I've turned a bunch of my friends on to the show, and I bought my nephew the S1 Blu Ray for his birthday!

I have watched three episodes so far and am enjoying it. It has a good cast and look.

Bryan Fuller(the showrunner/creator) has a aesthetic that's like nothing else on TV right now. it's gorgeously shot(in Canada-less expensive, and they want somewhere where they can make it seem like they're really in, say Virginia,someplace that gets weather(in the case of last season's filming they filmed a lot of it during the Polar Vortex.They did quite a bit of outdoor filming-not the most ideal situation!)

The music is one of my favorite things about the show.Brian Reitzell, who does the music for the show is a wonder.He uses all sorts of instruments to get that spooky vibe.

It seems stange that it is not an HBO/Showtime etc programme. Maybe it wpould be the same on those channels but with swearing!

It's very violent, it amazes me what they can get away with.. apparently several companies(I believe Amazon may have been one of them since it's on Amazon Prime right after it airs) were willing to air it(for a fee-which I would happily have done.I love the show *that* much!)if it had been cancelled.Luckily it got picked up for a second season, and now a third(not 'till next year but I can wait!)

Post by **carl stromberg** » Thu Jun 12, 2014 7:34 pm

I definately decided to watch it after the third series was confirmed! It's good the the series is quite short too.

Post by **kater23** » Thu Jun 12, 2014 9:14 pm

Yep.. It'd be easy to binge watch the entire first and second seasons in only a few days(who needs beauty sleep!)

I'm taking a break from Hannibal as the World Cup is on.

Post by **kater23** » Wed Jun 25, 2014 10:20 pm

I can't wait for next season ..a lot of it is going to be the FBI trying to track Hannibal down..apparently we're going to get a different backstory than the books, being that Mads Mikkelsen's Hannibal is much younger.

How does Hannibal keep is house so tidy?

He is a good cook too.

Post by **kater23** » Fri Jul 11, 2014 10:14 pm

LOL I've seen several people ask that..he must do all his own housework..no way he's got someone to do it for him.(Now I've got a mental image of Hannibal cleaning his toilet..and doing the hoovering..cannot unsee!

I've just watched episode 7 and was shocked to see Hannibal watching tv in a old t-shirt and jeans eating a McDonald cheeseburger.

I don't think I'd like to attend one of his dinner parties

Post by **kater23** » Mon Jul 14, 2014 4:33 am

LOL there has been some fan art involving Hannibal and McDonald's. It's the antithesis of what he is so I can see why people go to it for fan art ideas

What I REALLY hope Bryan Fuller doesn't skip over is the reactions from people who attended Hannibal's dinner parties
