12 Bloodthirsty TV Episodes That Killed The Most Characters

11. Hannibal: Digestivo

Hannibal is a beautifully disturbing TV show that reintroduced the world to pop culture's favourite cannibal. So of course any show starring a man who regularly eats people with other folks is going to have some dark episodes.

But when it chooses to deliver a big moment with lots of people dying, it does it just as stylishly as the rest of the show. In the episode "Digestivo" Hannibal helps Will Graham escape from the psychotic clutches of all-around bad guy Mason Verger.

The episode contains plenty of messed up scenes. Will biting a guy's cheek out. Hannibal escaping by literally tearing his way through multiple guards. Verger waking up with another man's face placed over his own. Cattle-prod semen collection. Eel suffocation. It's a lot to take in and definitely shows the most creative on-screen carnage the show writers could think up.

However, since the people who died were all somehow worse than the man who literally feeds people to other people, this is an episode where we actually see Hannibal Lecter as a hero of sorts, at least when it comes to protecting Graham.
