Hannibal Season 01 Episode 01 - The Beginning

Finally Hannibal is back in a new Series, I just found it by luck as I was watching the Grimm Series, and Pop there it was. This little Banner saying to me, the first Episode were Online...and so I went for it.



The Start was so what Promising, the Sound like the Soundtrack of Nine Inch Nails, heavy and mysterious, I was melting from the start. The Heartbeat...pounding. The Scene going backwards. The Blood is moving it´s way back into the Bodies.
And then Graham is kicking through the Door and horror is on the loose. Shots. The Man falling slowly...while Grahams Voice is telling us.

This is my Design.

Slowly and Dark, it´s really appealing. He is just like how can I say? Dry. Yeah Dry and Focused. I really like that, his seriousness. And the Blood flies. The Sound is awful just as the Scene. Wonderfull played. Scene and Sound are fitting perfectly.

And than he stands in the Seminar Room. And I´m asking myself...what would it be? What would be my design?

And Lawrence is asking for his help. We see an awkward man. Uncomfortable with People. Nervous and somewhat shyish. Fearfull. Even strange. And for that I like him very much. I sympathize with him from the start.
The Girl in the bed is found, and he is slipping the Character of the Killer. The Intruder is like a threat. And then he founds a Dog and we see him living with his Dogs, quite lovely. But the Nightmares are still coming. The Girl is hunting him.

Even at day he see´s the blood. But he sees into the murderer, a mercyfull Killer. Someone who loves, who is not shallow. No sight of hate or sadism. A rare kind of murderer. Lawrence needs him out there, but he can´t protect him even if he says so. And we learn...the liver isn´t there. And that the Killer eats them.

And then we see Hannibal for the first time...cold and Serious. Starring and analyzing. If Lawrence had just known... A wink to his art and his drawings. Is he really needed for the Profile? The First Meeting of Hannibal and Graham isn´t really under good circumstances. Graham hates it to be analyzed. And Hannibal sees right into him. Sees the Emphatist.

A Deers head, the Girl pinned of it, while the Birds are picking it. The Picture is screaming to Graham. The Lungs are gone. We see Hannibal cutting and cooking it. And of cause Eating. And Graham knows that this Scene is a copycat, but still he dreams of the Deer.

Hannibal and Graham are now to working together, finding their language.

"How do you see me?", Graham asks. And while Hannibal is starring at him, he says, "a mongoose that wents under the house when the snake slips by."

And Graham says nothing about that. And while they are at the Killers Workplace and taking Evidence...Hannibal calls the Killer and says.

"We know"

And again time is moving backwards. And we know blood will be floading. And Hannibal is staying in the back, watching. Graham has to shoot the killer, who is trying to kill his daughter. Hannibal kneels and helps to lower her blood pressure.

And we see Hannibal and Graham sitting with the girl in the Hospital.
And a Preview follows with the Scenes that are coming next.

And we are left, wondering what we just saw. And with the feeling of desire. The Desire for more.
