It's great. It has a lot of the same sensibilities as two AMC tech-thrillers that I love(d), Rubicon and Halt and Catch Fire.

The lead actor has been in a bunch of random stuff, but he's great and the extreme leftist, anti-corporate narrated inner-monologues are really surprising on TV. Definitely worth checking out. Really cool.

Out of town and missed this one. Hope it gets back on track. I was good up until the previous week. Almost everything to do with Will seems to be going nowhere. Hannibal, Bedelia, Jack, Alana - all that has been fine. But Will and Chiyo I've been hard pressed to care about. Loved the fight scene and how one sided it was. Just wish they'd have made Hannibal's escape a little more earned.

That fight scene was the [expletive]. Especially after Hannibal hanging the inspector, intestines out. Jack seeing him from the street, Hannibal waiting for him and Jack still kicking his ass.

The Mason/Alana scenes aren't doing it for me. They come off like two stupid plotting supervillains from the old Batman series.

But I'm still enjoying this season.

Hannibal:

If they had made all of episodes 1-4 into 1 or 2 episodes and then really picked up w episode 5, that would have been so much better because the past two episodes have been so much better.

Just a trailer, but to me that looks a [expletive] ton better than TWD.

Is that better call Saul-esque in that I can watch but would have had to have watched TWD to fully appreciate it?

I think I am watching the first episode right now, and you're right. Super intriguing.
