Season 3 Episode 1 "Antipasto"
SPOILERS
Bonsoir! The art direction in this episode was superb as per usual and the new setting brings some really beautiful visuals as well. Great to see Eddie Izzard return even if it's only in flashbacks or Hannibal's imagination. (Not quite sure which.) Their dinner table scene was fantastic especially the "It's only cannibalism if we're equals" line. Weird not having much of Will Graham or Laurence Fishburne in this episode. Gillian Anderson and Hannibal carry the episode well enough and it was interesting exploring their weird relationship. This episode wasn't big on gore but it was there in subtle doses. What it lacks in splatter in makes up for in eerie mood and atmosphere, suspense and some pretty disturbing imagery. The preview for the rest of the season looks insane I can't wait!
