I was absolutely shocked yesterday afternoon when I read the news. As tolerant as I am with so many things but this time the TV channel NBC made the biggest mistake of their existence.
The highly praised and intelligent TV series Hannibal got cancelled!!!
At first I did not even want to believe it but there it stood. I immediately thought that the guys who are responsible for this must be insane! I do not understand how someone could imagine cancelling such a well made show as Hannibal. Maybe the numbers of viewers dropped after the first episode of the new season but out there in the world are still so many people and Fannibals who do not want to see their favourite TV show killed. The fanbase of Hannibal is big enough and a very devoted and passionate one. Out there are still enough and many men and women to whom Hannibal is the best and most intelligent show on TV that has been there for years! The Fannibals absolutely love their show and I consider myself part of this fandom too and I do not want to see such a brilliant show being dropped like a stone!
Hannibal only just started with its third season and it really deserved another season after such a thrilling second round. The creators and writers of this show have managed it to create so many fascinating and original stories like one has never seen before on TV. This show dares to show the dark side of human behaviour and our own psyche. Hannibal made it possible to create beauty with the help of murders and psychopaths and we just love it! This has never been any ordinary show, it does not stop where so many other crime/thriller shows stop or think they cannot go because this is not "appropriate" or "too abnormal". That is exactly why we love Hannibal! We watch it because of its unusual and unpredictable story lines, plot twists and interesting characters. This show is not just trying to be clever, it IS clever and manages it to hook the audience after the first episode because one never knows what really happened and why and if we can trust our own mind. Hannibal challenges its audience and is not one of those pattern-repeating TV shows to which you can just switch in any episode without knowing anything. No, Hannibal creates intelligent and thrilling stories which keep you on the edge of your seat even tough you have watched every episode and believe you know what is going on. This TV show is far too clever for that.
The actors and their characters are just another honourable factor in the praise for this show. It is undeniable that Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy are fantastic actors who play their roles (beyond) brilliantly!
The intelligent and cultured cannibal Hannibal Lecter could not be portrayed any better on TV than by Mads Mikkelsen. He gives this role the certain coldness of the murderous cannibal, the calmness of the educated cook and the emotions of the "real" Hannibal. An amazing portray by a skilled actor who is more than capable to keep up the interest in such a famous character.
Hugh Dancy is just the same. He is perfectly able to portray the split personality of Graham who is often balancing between losing his mind and being a very clever agent with special skills. Next to Hannibal the character of Will Graham was not very famous but the show and the brilliant acting of Hugh Dancy gave this interesting character a face and the popularity he deserved. Graham is an equal counterpart to Hannibal and so is Dancy to Mikkelsen. He is equal to him in every way and the chemistry between Graham & Hannibal/Dancy & Mikkelsen is one like you have never seen before. Graham is a man capable of keeping up with Hannibal and Hugh Dancy plays him brilliantly with the right mixture of emotionality, cleverness, reserve and bravery.
So Fannibals, now it is our duty to give a shout out to the TV producers and channels out there so that they help us save our beloved cannibal from getting eaten. Sign this online petition so NBC learns that they made a huge mistake: https://www.change.org/p/nbc-netflix-what-are-you-thinking-renew-hannibal-nbc
Tell me and the other people about your love for Hannibal so that the others see how much this show means to us! Write, draw, make a video or whatever can express the love and the importance of this issue. We will not sit still and watch our favourite show being cannibalised itself, so spread the words: #SaveHannibal !!!
