I watched a bit but my wife hates to watch anything with gore before bed so I could never really get into it.
I will say that Mads Mikkelson is easily my favorite Hannibal Lecter. He went full Daniel Craig on it and somehow is more awesome than an actor that you thought couldn't be topped.
It's hard to make any case for Hannibal over SOTL.
Loved the show, it really was very underrated. However, a lot of people didn't like the 3rd season and sure enough, that's where it lost me. I think I trailed off at episode 4. I don't even know why or have a reason.
