Agreed. This has become one of the shows I can't not watch in a week. My PVR is backing up with other shows because of work and life, but i always make time to catch up on Hannibal at least on Friday nights or Saturday afternoon.
I think this is very under rated and I hope more people tune in, despite the tone and gratuitous nature. I'm getting tired of having no one to talk to about this show. haha.
The direction they're going has definitely intrigued me, and knowing that they have a full story arc and an end game with the series makes this a very compelling watch.
