Consider your self a Fannibal? Based at the novels through Thomas Harris (Red Dragon, The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal and Hannibal Rising), the grotesque and gory drama Hannibal hit NBC in 2013 — and fanatics became obsessed.
The Bryan Fuller-helmed sequence — which starred Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen because the titular cannibalistic serial killer and Hugh Dancy as felony profiler Will Graham — won crucial acclaim. In 2013, Vulture’s Matt Zoller Seitz known as Hannibal “essentially the most beautiful show on TV, alarmingly so.”
In 2015, The New Yorker’s Emily Nussbaum wrote of the show’s magnetic pull: “I stored sneaking again, peeking via my hands — a glimpse here, a binge there — both numbing myself or, relying on one’s point of view, properly sensitizing myself. Gradually, my eyes adjusted to the darkness. By midway via season 2, Hannibal felt much less like a blood-soaked ordeal than like a macabre masterpiece, natural excitement and audacity.”
Despite this reward, the show only picked up one Primetime Emmy nomination during its 3 seasons, and was once canceled in 2015. Fuller didn’t blame the community, alternatively. In a commentary on the time, he thanked them for allowing him to “craft a tv collection that no different broadcast community would have dared.”
