Watching Hannibal

[przed]

Lured by the evil temptresses halotolerant, norfolkdumpling and dorinda, I decided to give the first episode of Hannibal a go.

Never have I been so conflicted with a show.

On the one hand, it's gorgeously shot, well-written, and Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen are fantastic individually, and an even better double act.

On the other hand, there are two scenes (just quick ones, involving a corpse and body parts) that got under my skin and had me obsessing over them whilst trying to get to sleep.

I should just call it quits there, but the good stuff is sooo good. And the promised slash looks, forgive me, delicious.

Damn you, Bryan Fuller, and your gorgeous, horrible show.

There will be a lot more horrible stuff in the following episodes. The series is gorgeous, the slash is tangible, but it will be gory to levels you wouldn't expect.
I'm not trying to scare you! I really loved the series (apart from the last season, of which I only loved two, maybe three eps, but that's another conversation) and I do think it's worth watching.
But, yes, gory. Very.

I can handle a certain level of gore. What I can't handle is an emphasis on the pain of the victim. So, I suppose I'm going to have to figure out if the show is going to break my head or not. Darn Fuller and his interesting take on monsters.
