Top 3 are all pretty damn close for me though |

03.09.26 | Yeah its a pretty consistent franchise mostly |

03.09.26 | Red dragon is underrated at this point |
CaliggyJack
03.09.26 | I actually agree, though I do feel Manhunter is the superior adaptation of the novel. |

03.09.26 | Honestlyyyy...red dragons kinda boring for me idk just has the most straightforward style of the series, like honestly it feels more like a tv show than the actual TV show lol. Great cast thoo I just feel like brett ratner didn't bring any oomph to the table, especially compared to manhunter. The first time I saw Scott's Hannibal I thought it was horrible, on repeated watches I find myself enjoying the movie a lot more as a gory/schlocky black comedy than a serious movie. The TV shows a lot of fun buuuuut I really wished they'd gotten the right to lambs cause combining red dragon and Hannibal into one rushed season just kinda ruined it for me. Recasting verger is another wtf move, season 2 had great momentum but once it got into the source material stuff they kinda just skimmed thru the whole series lol.
But yeah lambs> man> Hannibals > red. |

03.09.26 | Same, and I remember waaaaaaay back when we weren’t sure if we were gonna get a third season so everyone was freaking out, thinking the show just fucking ended with four main characters bleeding out on the floor of Hannibal’s house lmao
Personally, I think S1 is great with occasional brilliant moments and a few incredible episodes. 2 took that up by about 10 notches and was brilliant every week. Special shout out to Mukōzuke, Su-Zakana, and that finale, those are all some of the best episodes of television ever. Then 3 took it up by a fucking hundred notches and became this batshit insane fever dream, I adore every single episode in Season 3, Digestivo in particular is probably my favorite episode in the entire series.
For sure one of the best shows of all time. |

03.09.26 | Also, I think that it’s retelling of the Red Dragon storyline is better than any film adaptation featuring any of these characters. As much as I love Silence of the Lambs, the back half of season 3 is absolutely flawless. Truly unbelievable that a NETWORK CABLE SERIES was able to top films featuring Ralph Fiennes and Anthony fucking Hopkins |

03.09.26 | I used to just say The Sopranos and The Leftovers are my favorite shows ever, like I can’t reality pick between the two, but they’re neck and neck and above everything else… I think Hannibal can hang with those two. Such a one of a kind show.
A lot of people were pissed at NBC for shitcanning it after 3 seasons, but I’m honestly just thankful we got three seasons in the first place. Back in the day a whole lot of folks were worried it wouldn’t get picked up for a third season, and rightfully so. Despite the amount of love it got, and how popular it seems now, the ratings were abysmal man. Fucking nobody was watching the show. |

03.09.26 | i've not seen hannibal rising, and yeah i seem to be an outlier on season3 i did think it was fun and carried the shows style/tone well juuust feel like it didn't make the jump from prequel into source that well. if it'd just been the tooth fairy for the whole season i probably would've liked it more but it's like they're going to a different country every other episode lol. i've been thinking of giving it[and all the lecter stuff] a rewatch cause i haven't seen it since it first aired, i probably just had too high expectations or something. annd the tv series overall reminds me of like whacked out dario argento movies, whichh is an obsession of mine. when it came out it also kinda filled that void left by the horrible final season of dexter lol.
but yeah tv show will graham is the most interesting will graham tbh |

03.09.26 | the hannibal show is one of my all-time favourite shows. the season finale of season 2 is peak tv |
DarkSideOfLucca
03.09.26 | Yeah, Season 2 shits all over season 1 imo
Also Season 3 is def better than Hannibal movie |
Wildcardbitchesss
03.09.26 | I mean tbh, as much as I like Silence of the Lambs… I love the show so much more. |

03.09.26 | Hannibal season 3 is some of the most batshit stuff I've seen on TV |
