"Hannibal" Season 3 release date is yet to be revealed and yet, the NBC horror series is already bagging home a number of awards and accolades. In its 16th Annual Golden Tomato Awards, Rotten Tomatoes named Hannibal as the Best Reviewed returning show of 2014 and the Best Reviewed TV series in Sci-Fi Fantasy series category. The show, which stars Mads Mikkelsen in the title role and Hugh Dancy as his nemesis Will Graham, beat out the likes of "The Good Wife," "Veep," "Orphan Black," and "The Americans."
For its second season, "Hannibal" received a 97% approval out of 100 with Rotten Tomatoes commending it for its "powerful imagery and a strong, unpredictable story." These reviews are one of those things that will make you think you will not be disappointed once "Hannibal" Season 3 release date comes.
One reviewer wrote:
"The psychological cat-and-mouse games the characters play are more interesting and a welcome respite from the intense, horrifying serial killer stories."
Another one said:
"The show raises many of [its] concepts to high art. It's a testament to Fuller's writing, Slade's vision, and the work of the many talented actors in this series. It all makes for a delicious opening course to the show's second season."
Hannibal joins a rich line-up of Best Returning TV Show awardee. Breaking Bad won it in 2013 for its fifth season, beating Game of Thrones Season 3 and Parks and Recreation Season 6.
Just last month, the pain of waiting for "Hannibal" Season 3 release date was somewhat forgotten as the show was named by Wall Street Journal as the Best TV series of 2014.
"The best geek show of the year doesn't spring from the four-color (or even black-and-white) world of funnybooks, or even a gritty fantasy world, like "Game of Thrones." No, it comes from a realm of horror, and I'm not talking about the weird fiction-saturated universe of "True Detective."
Vulture thinks the same saying "Bryan Fuller's TV adaptation of Thomas Harris's fiction is a total vision - mournfully expressionist, shockingly violent, and strangely tender."
"Virtually alone among television dramas, network or cable, it demands that viewers make an imaginative leap and see its nightmarish action as both figurative and emotionally real. It's also one of the scariest shows in TV history, delivering images every week so potent that they lodge in the viewer's memory like rusty barbs."
