"The plot of Hannibal Season 3 doesn't really matter; it's complicated and involves a villain with the menacing moniker of The Tooth Fairy. The most interesting part of its finale is also the most important part of the show, the twisting, psychosexual dynamic between criminal profiler and serial empath Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and psychologist and serial cannibalistic murderer Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen)."
"But in Hannibal, the heroes can't enjoy the luxury of rest. Hannibal and Will, at this point very much on the outs since Lecter's true identity was revealed, defeat the Tooth Fairy, but are left heavily injured. They embrace on a cliff, and Lecter says that's all he's ever wanted for them. Graham agrees, saying, "It's beautiful." Then they both jump from the cliff, and we don't find out what happens."
Broadcast television once produced risky, once-a-week shows that barely aligned with FCC standards. Hannibal Season 3 features a complex plot involving a villain called the Tooth Fairy. The series' core is the twisting, psychosexual dynamic between criminal profiler Will Graham and cannibal psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter. The finale raises stakes, defeats the antagonist, and leaves the protagonists badly injured. Hannibal and Will embrace on a cliff, call it beautiful, then leap together into an ambiguous ending. A post-credits shot shows Dr. Daphne Du Maurier seated with an amputated leg plated as the main dish.
