Hannibal

[Patrick Bateman]

NBC has renewed it for another season.

[zygalski]

Great news!

[Beati Dogu]

Anyone else into this program?

The Damien Hirst inspired killing in the latest episode was quality.

[FourWheelDrift]

Yep, one of 4 must see series on at the moment (-1 as one has just finished it's current run)

[Patrick Bateman]

What episode are you lot on at UK pace? 5?

[youngsyr]

The second series is even better than the first, and that was great!

I really enjoy this. I really like the Lecter character and I had worried that after Anthony Hopkins it would seem like a cheap version but to be honest its more like "Anthony who?" now. I dont want to do him down as his portrayal was great but the series is also bloody well done.

I think it helps that Hopkins wasn't the first to play Hannibal.


Also when I see the name of the episodes, all being foodie titles like Buffet Froid, Savoureux and Trou Normand I can't help but think of one of comedy psychiatrist's Frasier & Nile's dinner parties

Yes, episode 5 was the last one shown.

Anyone else looking forward to the final episode of Season 2 tonight?

[FourWheelDrift]

Yes.

[Dibs]

Yes, me too - it has been a very good 2nd series.

Have we not already seen what's going to happen in the final episode of S2 (as it was shown in the first scene of the first episode of S2)????

[Patrick Bateman]

I've not seen it so not going to spoiler tag this but given we have seen a fight between Hannibal and Jack but no death of Jack we need to see how that plays out.

[Beati Dogu]

I'm a couple of episodes behind. I'll try and catch up a bit tonight.

Jack's on screen wife is actually his wife in real life (Gina Torres).

Fans of Suits will know her as Jessica Pearson.

Geeks will know hew as Zoe from Firefly

If the memories of it being cancelled don't make them cry

IT'S STILL TOO SOON.

Bloody hell, with a side order of more blood!

This Hannibal is closer to the one I imagined from the novels than Hopkins was - great as that performance was.
