Me: All the characters in Hannibal are so well crafted because none of them are just one thing. Hannibal is a killer but also a lover. Jack is someone who cares very deeply about his friends, and sometimes the friendship blinds him and sometimes he destroys the friendship for the greater good. Alana is not just a love interest for the male leads; she finds power and companionship by making her own decisions, and she isn't always right in those decisions either. Even side characters are great. Chiyoh is very much a shield at Hannibal's whims (and Will's for a brief moment) but she's also very self-assured and doesn't follow the whims of others if she doesn't want to. Reba is very much traumatized by what Francis did to her (and rightfully so) and it's easy to put her in the victim category, especially with her disability, but she established early in her relationship with Francis that she is not to be pitied and she's very independent and that she can and will move on from hardships that come her way. Abel was a maniac who killed his own family and also just a little bit of a creep (mainly with Alana) but also he was cunning and sure of himself and had a sense of humor. It's just so cool how every character has strengths and weaknesses. Not one of them is all good or all bad and that's really cool.
Also me: Mason Verger is a despicable human being and the only thing I like about him is that I don't like literally anything about him. He's horrible and I know he already died but he should die again.
