Hannibal, created by Bryan Fuller, is a new American-Thriller series playing on NBC. It focuses on Will Graham, a teacher and FBI consultant with extreme empathy, and Dr. Hannibal Lecter, Will's psychiatrist and a mass murdering cannibal with a taste for fine cuisine. Hannibal is also known as The Chesapeake Ripper, a serial killer who kills in strings of 3 and is known for removing the vital organs and keeping them (presumably eating them.) He has yet to be discovered as the Chesapeake Ripper, or as a cannibal.
Hannibal is an extremely fascinating character. For instance, even though Will is on the brink of finding out about him, he seems to genuinely care about Will and see him as a friend. Even when Will is explaining to his class one of the crimes Hannibal committed and showing all of the evidence he has, Hannibal looks really proud of him for being able to figure out everything that he's done. He also seems determined to feed everyone he meets actual humans as food. He'll cook different organs and say that they're pork or lamb or sausage, and people will just eat them up with no questions asked. He even through an entire dinner party where every course encorporated some kind of human meat. Everyone on the show is an unknowing and unwilling cannibal.
There are currently seven episodes of the show out right now. A decision has yet to be made about whether or not it will be renewed for a second season. They air on Thursdays at 10PM on NBC. This Thursday's episode will air 15 minutes later and will be presented with no commercials, and there are rumours that the ratings of this episode will determine whether or not it is renewed for another season.
