Bin gespannt, wie es sich weiter entwickelt.
So wie es aussieht, wird Richard seine Figur wirklich komplex anlegen können und kann da einiges von seiner Schauspielkunst zeigen. Ich denke, er wird zur Hochform auflaufen, noch dazu in diesem Team!

Guckt eigentlich sonst noch jemand außer mir oder hat es vor? Für " therapeutischen" Austausch, quasi !

Davon bin ich auch absolut überzeugt, Nimue! Er wird ein Meisterstück abliefern!



Für unser Massenmörder-Bootcamp?

Ich bin dabei. Allerdings habe ich jetzt eben erst bestellt. Voraussichtlicher Liefertermin ist der 20.

Critical reviews[edit]
Season 1[edit]
Reviews for Hannibal have been positive. On critic website Metacritic, the first season scored 69 out of 100 based on 32 reviews, which constitutes "generally favorable reviews".[66] Joanne Ostrow of The Denver Post praised the series as a "... well constructed, masterfully written piece," but stated "... this level of violent imagery is not my cup of tea..." She also had high praise for the characters, stating that they are "... so compelling, however, that you may give in to the gore-fest."[67] Paul Doro of Shock Till You Drop gave Hannibal an 8/10 and said of the series, "The stab at classy horror mostly succeeds due to excellent performances from the leads, genuine suspense and surprises, well-constructed short and long-term mysteries, and an appropriately disconcerting mood that permeates the action right from the start..." and praised Hugh Dancy in particular, saying he "... does an outstanding job of subtlety conveying how painful human interaction is for him, and despite being abrasive and unpleasant, you are always in his corner and really feel for the guy."[68] Jeff Jensen of Entertainment Weekly gave the show an A- and called it "... finely acted, visually scrumptious, and deliciously subversive."[69]

Brian Lowry of Variety said Hannibal is "... the tastiest drama the network has introduced in awhile," and had particular praise for the central trio of Dancy, Mikkelsen and Fishburne.[5] Eric Goldman of IGN gave the series a 9/10, which constitutes a score of "Amazing". He said, "A prequel TV series about Hannibal Lecter has to overcome a lot of preconceptions ... But guess what? None of that matters when you actually watch the show, because Hannibal is terrific."[70] Linda Stasi of The New York Post gave the series two and a half stars out of four, praising the performances and called it "... The most beautifully shot and produced show on network TV, with many scenes simply and literally breathtaking..."[71] Jeff Simon from The Buffalo News called Hannibal "deeply sinister" and "brilliant."[72] The Chicago Sun Times' TV critic Lori Rackl said, "Hannibal is a haunting, riveting... drama that has the look and feel of a show audiences have become more accustomed to seeing on cable than broadcast," and concluded that "It's also extremely well executed... bound to leave viewers hungry for more."[6] Alan Sepinwall of HitFix called Hannibal "creepy, haunting, smart, utterly gorgeous..." and the best of this season's serial killer shows.[73] Sepinwall also praised the character of Hannibal, writing he has been made into a believable supervillain without making the police force and others look incompetent.[74] Reflecting on the completed first season, The A.V. Club '​s Todd VanDerWerff wrote that the series acts as a corrective to the "empty" violence on much of television and "restores the seriousness of purpose to a genre long in need of it.... Hannibal is interested in death and murder as a means to glance sidelong at some of life’s largest questions. When not functioning as a cop drama, it’s an intricately twisted serial-killer thriller, but it’s also a surprisingly deep series about psychiatry and the state of the human mind." VanDerWerff concluded that Fuller had taken a series "that had every reason to be a cheap cash-in and has, instead, turned into one of TV’s best shows."[75]

Other reviews were less favorable. Glenn Garvin from The Miami Herald called it "a fast-food hash of poor planning and worse execution...", referring to the writing as "a mess of unmemorable dialogue and unworkable characterizations."[76] Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe was similarly critical, calling the series "rank and depressing," and concluded that it is "shocking, gruesome, and, ultimately, hollow."[77]

Season 2[edit]
On Metacritic, the second season scored 88 out of 100 based on 14 reviews, which constitutes "universal acclaim".[78] On April 10, 2014, Hannibal was voted the winner for Hulu's "Best in Show" online competition.[79] On Rotten Tomatoes, the second season scored a 100% "certified fresh" rating with an average rating of 9.2 out of 10 based on 24 reviews. The consensus reads: "With powerful imagery and a strong, unpredictable story, season two of Hannibal continues to build on the first season's promise."[80]

Mark Peters of Slate called Hannibal "an engrossing, psychologically dense show that is also visually stunning... the kind of gem seldom found on network TV." He did however note that the female characters were less developed.[81] Matt Zoller Seitz, writing for New York magazine heaped praise on the show, calling it "serenely unlike anything else on TV or anything that ever has been on TV."[82] Alan Sepinwall of HitFix continued his praise of the series, highlighting the performances of the lead actors.[83] The A.V. Club named it the best TV series of 2014, and wrote that Hannibal was "the best, most elegantly designed thrill ride on TV in 2014".[84]

The season two finale was met with universal critical acclaim. Gathering a perfect rating of 10 out of 10 on IGN, reviewer Eric Goldman stated, "Hannibal ended its fantastic second season with a thrilling, exciting and audacious series of events" and praised the directing by David Slade.[85] The finale also earned a perfect "A" grade by The A.V. Club, where reviewer Molly Eichel called it "an entirely perfect cap to this season."[86] Den of Geek reviewer Laura Akers labelled the episode "simply divine" and stated that she has "rarely found [herself] looking forward to a show's return more".[87] Emma Dibdin of Digital Spy also heavily praised the episode, specifically Mikkelsen's performance, stating that he is "so convincingly predatory...and so simultaneously scary and sad". She also laid praise on the sound design of the episode by saying that "the integration of a ticking clock worked so well not just in the usual 'time is running out' way, but also a subconscious reminder of Hannibal's manipulation of Will".[88] TV Guide named it the best TV episode of 2014.[89]

Awards and accolades[edit]

Sein sich jährlich erneuerndes Geweih ließ den Hirschen zu einem Symbol der Erneuerung und der Fruchtbarkeit werden, das häufig auch mit dem sich verzweigenden Lebensbaum verglichen wurde. Vier Hirsche (Dainn, Dwalinn, Duneyr und Durathor) in der germanischen Weltenesche verliehen den vier Winden ihre Namen. Ein weiterer Hirsch, Eikthyrnir, steht sowohl für die Bedrohung als auch für die Erneuerung. Er äßt an den Wurzeln und befruchtet mit seinem Tau zugleich die Erde.

Du hast Recht- es ist vieles over the top- gerade was die extremen Todesartenbzw. die Darstellung von Mordopfern angeht. Ganz ehrlich frage ich mich schon manchmal, welches kranke Hirn kann sich sowas ausdenken, auch wenn es nur für einen Film ist- aber auf sowas muss man erst einmal kommen ?

Die erste Staffel hat mir soweit noch ganz gut gefallen, in der zweiten nervt es mich so langsam, same procedure... u.a. die gefühlt hundertste Variante von Hannibal beim Kochen zu sehen, irgendwie nutzt es sich einfach ab...
