Hannibalreceived critical acclaim for its character study of the iconic psychologist, serial killer, and cannibal Dr. Hannibal Lecter. The series is anchored by incredible performances from Mads Mikkelsen in the titular role, and Hugh Dancy as FBI criminal profiler, Will Graham. The series unfolds as a game of cat-and-mouse, whereby Lecter aims to manipulate the FBI from within whilst also trying to push Will Graham to become a killer. The series always maintained strong critical reviews but never garnered a huge following, with the series eventually being canceled due to low viewership.
