Review of Fromage

Hannibal: Fromage (2013)
Season 1, Episode 8
10/10
The Duel !
1 January 2014
An interesting episode, though not as good as the previous one. I missed Jack whining to get to the Chesapeake Ripper, but it was well compensated with a thrilling story and a nice duel.

Franklyn who is obsessed by Dr. Lector suspects his friend for the recent murder discovered by Jack and Co. Whereas, Will's condition is deteriorating day by day. As expected sparks of love are kindled between Graham and Bloom.

Graham is now hearing animals whale and scream. With every case he takes up his condition is worsening day by day. On the other hand, Hannibal finds himself frustrated by a patient of his who is obsessing over him. The story leads up to a gripping climax, likes of which were yet to be seen in the series, especially Dr. Lector in action. The psychopath killer featured in this episode was more of a scientific one than a philosophical one. Also it's strange to see someone smart enough as Dr. Lector. Apart from the awesome sound and music, the cinematography was likely the best out of the 8 episodes.

Direction: Nice.

Story/Screenplay: Strong.

Acting: Mads was great, so were Dancy and Anderson. Caroline Dhavernas and Demore Barnes were fine too.

Music: Awesome.

Overall a nice action packed episode with some good cinematography and sound and an unfinished dinner. Dr. Lector won't like that, will he!?
