When it comes to understanding exactly what to expect from Hannibal , the two most important characters are symbolic representations of who Will Graham and the titular serial killer are not. At least not anymore.

”Tome-Wan” is Hannibal at its most distilled and sustained. Showcasing the series’ underlying dark humour, this is the tightest, most mesmerizing hour of the series. To use the words of Mason Verger: I am enchanted and terrified.
