10 Most Shocking Hannibal Moments
8. Abel Eats His Own Leg
To put it bluntly, Able Gideon is one of the most disturbed characters to ever grace Hannibal. He is a total monster only made all the more unnerving by Eddie Izzard's chillingly calm performance. Unfortunately for Gideon though, there's only room for one cool psychopath on this show.
If Hannibal Lecter is good at one thing it's making people wish they never met him. Gideon finds this out the hard way when the culinary cannibal makes him a one-of-a-kind dish out of his own severed leg.
There's something oddly comedic about this moment, which might sound extremely weird given what happens. But, the back and forth between Hannibal and Gideon along with how casually the scene unfolds is undeniably funny in a messed up kind of way.
It's one of those uncomfortable times in the series where you can't help but think to yourself "why does this make me so hungry?" That's probably the sickest part too, you can't blame Gideon for chowing down as the food just looks so good.
Bon appétit indeed.
