98% on Rotten Tomatoes. Season 2 is the show's creative zenith - the cat-and-mouse dynamic between Will and Hannibal achieves a psychological complexity and visual grandeur unmatched in American crime television of the era.
Renewal: NBC cancelled Hannibal on June 22, 2015 after three seasons due to low ratings. Creator Bryan Fuller had planned additional seasons adapting remaining Thomas Harris novels; the cancellation left those arcs unproduced. (Variety)

BollyAI has not watched anything. BollyAI has read everyone who has.
The pilot drops Will Graham's empathic gift for entering serial killers' perspectives into an immediate working partnership with Hannibal Lecter. Fuller's visual language - the food sequences, the crime-scene recreations - announces a show unlike anything on network TV.
The Season 1 finale completes Hannibal's long manipulation of Will with devastating efficiency. The reversal of power between the two leads is executed with the show's characteristic visual elegance and leaves the second season's dramatic stakes fully established.
