If you have not heard of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, psychologist serial killer, you have probably been living under a rock since 1991. He has a renowned legacy of being one of cinemas most diabolically effective serial killers - and there are lots of those on the big screen. However, after Anthony Hopkins' Academy Award winning portrayal of this character in 1991's The Silence of the Lambs, the franchise itself has faded into relative obscurity. Last year, Dr. Lecter made his television debut in Bryan Fuller's Hannibal on NBC, a series that started out as a procedural chronicling the relationship between Dr. Lecter and FBI Special Agent Will Graham, then proceeded to become something much darker. Despite being ignored by the Emmys, it amassed a cult following amongst both television critics and fans, many of whom hailed it as one of the best shows currently on television. It returns for a second season on February 28th, and if you have not caught up we have compiled 10 reasons why you should! This grotesque psychological thriller is a must see, if you have the stomach for it. Will you be watching on February 28th? Do you like this show so much you've had to talk to a therapist yourself?
