Hannibal “Fromage”

Hannibal continues to present quality work week in, week out.  The writing is fantastic, maybe the best on television, with a killer-of-the-week format that somehow finds a way to feel fresh every week.  In this episode, a man is murdered to catch the attention of Hannibal by a man who knows his secret.  Obviously, Will Graham and Jack Crawford don’t know this, but the episode ends in a showdown between Hannibal and this killer.  Cool idea, although I never knew Hannibal was so good at hand to hand combat.  I guess everybody has to be in order to appear on TV nowadays.  Oh well, looking past that it was a fun scene.

Speaking of serial killers, the world that Hannibal inhabits seems to be full of them.  One can’t walk down the sidewalk in this show without encountering at least three psychotic killers.  This doesn’t detract from the show at all, at least for me it doesn’t, but at one point thoughts drift to how paranoid these writers are that killers lurk behind every corner.  I’m going to keep watching though, seriously this show gets better every week, although I will just see serial killers in this world like mutants in X-Men, they are everywhere.
