Was it just simply that nobody could live up to Anthony Hopkins?

I tend to almost never watch TV, but Hannibal was by far one of my favorite TV shows. Wish they'd bring it back honestly

I assume TC meant the 2001 movie, and not the show or stand-up comedian.

Ya that show was real rad. Mads did awesome so i dont think thats it...

I would guess it was just too much for nbc viewers, if it was a hbo or etc joint i think it would have killed.

Did it bomb or was it just too expensive for what it was pulling in?

Yeaaaah it might've been a touch too gory for network television.

Nah it's the TV show obviously. NBC at 9pm was such a bad slot. It would have thrived on FX and this was several years before networks and streamers were saving cancelled shows

Mads, in my opinion, did become the better Hannibal over time and that's all due to screentime. Hopkins was so effective because his screentime was so limited in SotL. Give him too much like in Hannibal, and it isn't so great. Mads was just better at playing a charming villain

Bryan Fuller as a showrunner just can't break the curse. Everything finally looked like it was going great for him with American Gods and then it all fell apart after the first season ended
