"How did one of the best, freshest shows of the past few years come out of something so old?” asks Eric Thurm. “In part, the show is so successful because it takes great liberties with the Lecter ‘canon.' Rather than quickly catching Hannibal, investigator Will Graham forms a close, painfully intimate bond with him that gives the show an emotional spine” — which you won’t get from the books. PLUS: Why Hannibal is like The Sopranos (http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/27/how-hannibal-was-sopranos), and Hannibal is subverting everything we know about male relationships (http://www.dailydot.com/geek/hannibal-series-finale-hannigram-queer-subtext).
