TV Review: Hannibal: Coquilles(1.04)

                                                 Hannibal: Coquilles(1.04)Review

• I liked how this episode dealt a bit with how Graham is dealing with how working in the field in effecting his state of mind with how he has started sleep walking and how he is feeling a loose of control in his life when it comes to his way of thinking which causes him to no longer feel safe. I liked that this episode dealt with Graham feeling like working in the field may not be the best thing for him to do.
• I find it interesting that Lecter seemed to try to drive a bit of a wedge between Graham and Jack which makes me wonder if Lecter was telling Graham these things because he truly believed them or because he wants Graham to be alienated from everyone other than himself.
• I found the killer with a brain tumor who kills his victims because he feels they need to become angels and pray over him at night to be both interesting and disturbing.
• I found the storyline with Jack's wife being unable to tell him that she has cancer to be pretty sad because there's no chance that the cancer will ever go away and because they both still love each other but their relationship seems to be taking a turn for the worse anyways.
• I like that Graham confronted Jack about how he feels that Jack isn't doing anything to protect his already fragile state of mind and I like that Graham told him that he isn't sure that he can keep working in the field because he feels like he's loosing his mind and that even though he knows he will feel guilty if he quits because he could be saving lives he still feels like he needs to quit.

TV Review: Hannibal: Potage(1.03)

• I really liked how this episode dealt with Abigail Hobbs waking up and whether or not she was helping her dad kill his victims. I like that the show gave us reason to believe that she might have been her dad's helper such as how she was very practical about dealing with her parents death and emotionally distant and there was of course the close relationship she had with her father. But I liked that in the end it was proven that she didn't help her father kill anyone and that she horrified to discover that pieces of the girls were put in her meals and made into pillows in her home.
• I liked how Freddy Lyons the tabloid reporter was still involved in the show and was still causing problems by inserting herself into the investigation. I also find it interesting that she and Lector seem to be working together in some way.
• I liked how in this episode it showed a bit more of Dr.Bloom and how she relates to her patients and how she thinks about them. I liked how she uses kindness to get Abigail to open up and even when things seem suspicious she refuses to believe the worse when there are other things that it could mean. I also enjoyed seeing a bit more Bloom and Graham's relationship.
• I liked how in this episode when Graham was giving a lecture on the copy cat of Hobbs and how he explained that the person who called the house to warn Hobbs was the person who was the copy cat killer that Lector smirked in a way that made it look like he was glad that Graham figured this out if he doesn't know that it was him.
• I liked how this episode dealt with Abigail returning home with how the garage had the word cannibals written on it and how Abigail noted all the differences to the house. I also liked how her friend noted that her mom doesn't want her be around her because of what her father did and how that one guy believes that she helped her dad kill the girls. I just thought the show did a really good job of dealing with the aftermath of that situation.
• I liked how after Abigail killed a guy that attack her in self defense that Lector convinced her that they needed to cover up the body because people would assume she was like her dad if she told the truth. I liked that after this Abigail gets Lector to confirm that he was the man on the phone but because of the man she killed she has to keep his secret like he is keeping hers.

TV Review: Hannibal: Amuse-Bouche(1.02)

• I really liked how in this episode it dealt with how Graham is being affected by killing Hobbs and how that is effected the work that he does. I liked how it showed that Graham is still seeing Hobbs in other places such as at a different crime scene and in his dream and like that reason he's seeing him is because Graham feels guilty about the fact that he felt good about killing him. I like that Graham is very conflicted about his feelings on the matter.
• I enjoyed the therapy sessions between Graham and Lecter but I feel that it's probably not an arrangement that is best for Graham's mental health because Lecter seems just fine with covering up any sign of Graham being mentally unstable and there's also the vibe that Lecter may even be encouraging said behavior.
• I found the case of the killer who buried his victims alive and used them as fertilizer for his mushroom garden in order to connect with people to be very disturbing and interesting way to kill.
• I was interested in the tabloid reporter that ended up writing an article on Graham and I find it a bit interesting and cruel of her that she regularly seems to get cops fired and doesn't feel bad about that or going anywhere she shouldn't in order to get a story and I'm curious about whether or not we're going to see any more of her in future episodes.
• I like that both Jack and Dr.Bloom are concerned about Graham's mental health but I really feel that putting Graham back out into the field is probably not the best idea. I also enjoyed learning that Jack believes that Graham doesn't like therapy because he knows exactly what's going on in his head but doesn't want anyone else to see what's in his head.

Please tell me your thoughts on this episode.

TV Review: Hannibal: Pilot(1.01)

                                                     Hannibal: Pilot(1.01)Review

• I really love the character of Will Graham a criminal profiler who has a gift with how he's able to imagine himself in just about any person's point of view and he's able to empathize with them. I love that for all his brilliance he isn't unaffected by things such as death and that he has trouble socializing with others and it doesn't seem that he's completely secure in himself.
• I love that Graham is emotionally effected by what he is able to imagine as far as the whole being able to see how and why most killers kill. I also like how upset he was by not being able to understand what kind of psychopath the killer was since it didn't quite fit any profile.
• I really love the contrast between the characters of Graham and Hannibal Lecter because they both seem to have similar skill sets with how they can get into killers heads but they handle those abilities very differently while it frightens Graham it doesn't seem to even phase Lecter and it's also worth noting that Lecter seems more comfortable in social situations and more secure with himself than Graham seems to be.
• I find it very disturbing that Lecter killed someone in a similar way to the killer in this week's episode in order to get Graham to see how the two killers styles differ and I found it pretty disturbing that Lecter eats human flesh but I wasn't really all that surprised by it. I also liked how Graham seemed to be much more upset by Lecter's kill the original killers victim because it was so wrong.
• I found it odd that Lecter was willing to warn the killer that he has been caught and I wonder what exactly was his goal in giving this warning, I'm guessing it might have something to do with emotionally breaking Graham in some way.
• I really enjoyed the contrast between Graham and Lecter with how they handled finding the injured members of the killers family with Graham wanting to save them and being very emotional and Lecter just being all calm and mostly staying in the background. I also liked seeing that Graham was very emotionally effected by the experience and it was no big deal for Lecter.
