'Hannibal's Series Finale Is Still Top-Tier Television
After a decade, Hannibal's series finale still stands head and shoulders above other finales as one of the most legendary endings.
With Bryan Fuller's Hannibal recently having celebrated its tenth anniversary, there's never been a better time to remember the series and its spectacular finale. If you haven't yet had the chance to watch this extraordinary show, Hannibal follows Will Graham (Hugh Dancy), a teacher-turned-FBI profiler with a case of extreme empathy, and his psychologist, Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelson). Will is brought on to assist in the investigation of the Chesapeake Ripper. Here begins a unique relationship that forms within their weekly therapy sessions, a duo that can understand each other greater than anyone else in their lives. From here, codependency is planted, and it ties the pair together, even when they don't want to be. The relationship between Will and Hannibal becomes the heart of the show — beyond the gory crime scenes and cannibalistic serial killers. By the finale, we are not watching to see if they will catch their final target, Francis Dolarhyde, aka the Great Red Dragon (Richard Armitage) — we are watching to see where Will and Hannibal's relationship will end up.
