Hannibal season 3 (a bit pretensious?)

Good, I almost thought I was the only one thinking this because most reviews I read praise the show to death. And I definitively see the positives of the show but it sometimes leaves me disconnected.

Maybe that´s why I don´t like Bryan Fuller or Aaron Sorkin: most of their shows are kinda smug. For example, I can´t stand Pushing Daisies and The Newsroom, although I admit I never saw West Wing. But even the Social Network written by Sorkin has that pretensious quality. Maybe that´s also I´m not a big fan of the movie.

I think only four episodes of Wonderfalls aired on Fox. Thanks a lot, Fox.

And West Wing is Sorkin's least pretentious show (which is not saying much, admittedly).

I've actually considered reviewing it for CT in the past. It has some good character and thematic development, and only 13 episodes long. Perhaps someday it will find its way onto the site.

Jeremy, what did you think of the series finale? Since you seem to share my view about Hannibal being a bit off sometimes, I wanted to know your opinion.

I thought the episode was really, really good and those last 10 minutes were amazing. Still, I couldn´t help but feel a bit disconnected from it. Even that final embrace didn´t seem true enough for me. It just all feels too artsy. Or maybe it´s me that wants more emotion.

But besides that, amazing dialogues mainly between Will and Hannibal, Will and Bedelia, and great soundtrack. Madds Mikelsen and Hugh Dancy are perfect for these roles.
A show I wouldn´t mind rewatching .

And btw, what do you think about how they´re saying, they want to bring the show and have already begun talking about a new season?

I recently finished watching the show, and I have to say, I agree with everything already said here. I am shocked Season 3 got such positive reviews. It was alternatively boring and frustrating. The first 7 episodes took elements of Hannibal/Hannibal Rising, which are universally not considered Harris' best work. But it was still a disappointment how meandering and incoherent the first half of the season was. I mean, what was the point of Chiyoh? The Red Dragon arc in the last few episodes was definitely better, but it still didn't quite work, despite Richard Armitage's excellent performance. It left me feeling a bit uncomfortable, rather than transfixed and horrified like Seasons 1 and 2. I suspect this is because they had a much more interesting premise-Hannibal's hiding in plain sight and Will's slowly figuring it out/trying to stop him respectively. Season 3 loses what made the show great and thrilling to watch, which is a shame.
