Hannibal Season 2 kicks off with a nerve-wracking taste of what's to come.

From the fight between Jack and Hannibal, it's obvious that Will escapes imprisonment and everyone learns the truth about their favorite psychiatrist. However, while this moment answers a lot of questions, it also poses just as many.

As the viewer we know part of what will happen by the end of the season. What we don't know though is how. It's the balance between the known and unknown that makes this moment work so well, as it creates a feeling of tension right from the start that will stay long after the finale hits.

The series' second season is arguably its strongest, and there's a reason for that. This opening scene makes it more apparent than ever that the show is not messing around.

You always had our attention Hannibal, but with this you got our curiosity too.
