Just a short update today to express my excitement at the imminent premiere of the second season of "Hannibal". It premieres tonight at 10:00 PM on NBC.
In my opinion this show is, by far, the best filmed depiction of the character. The acting, plotting, and character development are all top notch, but the show is also more than that. It has an incredible, dark tone. It has a visual element that is sublime, thanks to its brilliant cinematography and art direction. Its images are grotesque and beautiful at the same time. It is the best television show I have ever had the pleasure of watching during its initial run. Aside from "Twin Peaks", it is the only television show I have seen that I would qualify as "High Art".
