So what changed? Just how much has he sunk his hooks into her beyond what we know? Or is she the true puppet master?! There’s a lot to ponder, but the show has earned our good will at this point to the point that I have confidence in where we’re going with all of this – and am hugely excited by the great unknown ahead, as there is no doubt Hannibal will be a very, very different show next season. Early in the season, Hannibal went to her home to kill her and she certainly seemed to truly have turned her back on him. So what had Hannibal told her/threatened her with, that made her become his accomplice? And then of course is Bedelia!! Seeing her sitting next to Hannibal on that plane was a jaw-dropping moment. In the show’s timeline, Abigail wasn’t gone nearly as long as Miriam and even with this show’s bigger than life concepts, it seems unlikely Hannibal could have brainwashed Abigail to the point that she would push Alana out that window… And Abigail did in fact seem troubled by what she was doing. Not to say that I wasn’t completely wrapped up in the fates of these characters – I’m concerned for all of them, even though I feel like Will at least has to be safe… right?! Oh, and to also have Abigail turn out to be alive, as some of us suspected, only for Hannibal than to take her from Will again, right in front of him?! So cruel, Hannibal, so cruel… Will, Jack and Alana were all left bleeding out and broken and it’s a testament to the skill with which this show is made that this didn’t all feel like wallowing in misery, but rather like it was part of the macabre fun of this oh-so twisted story. This season ended with Hannibal absolutely decimating all of the heroes on this show in a manner no one could have predicted. But then, to not only see that happen to Jack again, but then for Alana and Will to also be possibly fatally injured? Wow. That knowledge didn’t lessen the tension, it added to it, with this episode expertly adding to the build up via the sound of ticking throughout, signaling that time was almost up.
We knew Jack was going to fight Hannibal and get stabbed in the neck all season. Hannibal: Bryan Fuller's Post-Season 2 Finale Discussion And these weren’t guest stars or recurring players. Fuller’s passion for horror runs deep, and I love how the last act of this episode played out like the ending of a slasher film, as one character after another ventured into Hannibal’s home, where ghastly acts awaited them.
#Ign hannibal season 2 review series
Bryan Fuller has a plan for this show that spans several years, but he gave us a season finale that had the weight of a series finale. There were an astounding number of “What?!” moments that occurred in "Mizumono", most of which would have been enough on their own, and stacked up like this, were unbelievably intense. Hannibal ended its fantastic second season with a thrilling, exciting and audacious series of events.
