Just joined your patreon because I found your Hannibal reactions on Youtube and really loved the thought you put into the show. I've watched the show several times because there is a lot of depth to it - from the music, acting, cinematography, writing, you name it. Looking forward to more!

I love your thorough analysis! I think the main theme in the first season is holding two opposing view points on what Hannibal's motivations are towards Will. He seems to be working towards his best interests, while at the same time acting in a way that seems self-centered. Can both of those be true? I love that you mentioned that Hannibal's tone is always steady and measured. I think the creators want to show us that Hannibal is the source of stability for both the cast and the audience. When everyone else is on an emotional roller coaster, he is a rock. It makes us almost relax into Hannibal's scenes. When he eventually does something violent, we are surprised all over again. It is so incredibly well done. I'm so glad you are giving the show the respect it deserves. I'm not a big fan of horror, in general, but the way this show contrasts horror and emotional vulnerability (which is the real horror to overcome for some of us) is just next level.

Right on point about Bella. Also fun to know that the actors that play Jack and Bella were married at the time of this filming.
