Hannibal is based on a 4 book series by Thomas Harris. In particular, Hannibal is primarily focused on a piece of backstory within the first novel in the series, Red Dragon. While the larger case of Red Dragon is eventually explored, and elements of the other novels find their way into the series as well, Hannibal’s greatest strength is is Showrunner Bryan Fuller’s (Pushing Daisies) exploration of a tiny portion of the first book. In the books, and the movies based on them, Will Graham figures out Hannibal Lecter almost immediately, and Will and Hannibal’s relationship is primarily limited to Hannibal seeking revenge on Will from behind bars. In Fuller’s Hannibal, Will Graham comes into contact with Lecter when he is at a weak point in his life, and the series focuses in on the relationship between the 2 characters as friends, who also happen to be opposing forces. Hannibal Lecter is a sociopath, a cannibalistic serial killer obsessed wtih high society. Will Graham is a man “gifted” with pure empathy, a trait that allows him to empathize with both victim and perpetrator, a trait that serves him well in catching serial killers for the FBI. Unfortunately, Will’s “gift” comes with a cost, Will teeters on the edge of a metaphorical knife, 1 push away from becoming a monster himself. In order to help Will cope with his recent work, he is referred to Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Lecter quickly becomes fascinated with Graham, and Lecter’s fascination is not exactly a good thing.
