Hannibal
TV Show • 2013 • Drama
ReportBoth a gift and a curse, Graham has the extraordinary ability to think like his prey—he sees what they see, feels what they feel. But while Graham is pursuing an especially troubling, cannibalistic murderer, Special Agent Jack Crawford teams him with a highly respected psychiatrist – a man with a taste for the criminal minded – Dr. Hannibal Lecter.

Not exactly, but there is a case in season one where young boys who are the "black sheep" of their families are manipulated into running away, and the parents don't seem to care. One family even erases the missing son from the family photos, if I remember correctly. More abandonment-adjacent than anything

The first/one of the first murders of the whole series, we see the body of a dead young woman arranged naked and impaled on dear antlers like a display. This first death is not gorey, but her being young and having been stripped felt weirdly sexual/emphasised that it was violence to a woman.
There are also many very graphic (and much more gorey) murders of both men and women throughout the series that are high in shock value and spectacle.

Also, it's absurd that no one talks about it, but even if lots of people don't see it as it, the part where Margot and Will have sex is not consensual and CAN be considered rape (the act is shown explicitly tho the discovery of the lie is later in Hannibal's office I think) , since Margot lies about her birth control to get pregnant from him, without letting him know about it beforehand. Attention then to second season in general with the character of Margot and his brother and part of Red Dragon's story for mentions/depiction of sexual abuse.

In the last few episodes of season one, the killer starts giving their victims “joker like” smiles by cutting their mouths from the corners to their ears and often times further. It’s not often shown in great detail and is sometimes hard to see. One of them is cut so far he is considered decapitated from the jaw down.

Jacks Wife Bella has stage 4 cancer and you see elements of her treatment. There's also a very rough line about her having stage 4 in Season 1 episode 5. It’s near the end and you can just skip over the conversation between Bella and Hannibal if you wish.

In S2 E5 someone's forearms are slashed (off screen by someone else) but the open wounds are shown. And then they are repeatedly shown over that season as stitched and then scarred.

The character in question says they are 'on the spectrum' also that they are 'closer to Asperger's' and that they have some 'UNDIAGNOSED PERSONALITY DISORDERS' ***Small spoilers**** the mixture of disorders and where he is on the spectrum allows him to profile killers for the FBI.
--The best term to describe the character in question is when someone says: "There isn't a word yet for what SO AND SO is."---
-- If autism is misrepresented then so to are 'various undiagnosed personality disorders' ---- Even then, if they are misrepresented they are only done that way to enhance a character to make them a better 'cooler' more interesting detective. ---- What they end up doing or not doing as that character is not chalked up to their autism or personality disorders ****MORE SPOILERS****** it is chalked up to something beyond the character's control - something that is done to them.

In the first season, a character suffers from Cotard syndrome and she's been thinking she's already dead since childhood. Now she's an adult and she becomes violent. She kills a woman (her old friend) in a very crude way, trying to understand if she's real or not.

One character attempts to overdose on painkillers during her cancer treatments but is unsuccessful. Later, a major character attempts to commit a murder-suicide by jumping off a cliff, and it’s left ambiguous whether they were successful.

I don't have epilepsy so I might miss subtler triggers, but I started keeping a log when I noticed blatant strobing in s2e4, will update as I continue watching.
Season 2 episode 4: Strong strobing lights starting around 14:00 (after a character is given an injection) and ending at around 15:50 (should be safe to look when you hear a character say "photosensitive epilepsy").
Season 2 episode 7: flashing lights starting a bit after 4:10 (dialogue: "I could hear his voice, but I couldn't see his face") and continues for a few seconds (should be safe to look when you hear "Why didn't he kill you"). And again a bit after 6:25 (no dialogue, Hannibal looks directly into the camera) for a few seconds (until you hear “It’s not him”). And again at about 22:20 (“And his voice, low and even, would pull me to him”) until about 22:43 (“You and I...are part of his design”). Again after 27:30 (“Would you like to try?”) until about 28:40 (“We found a fingerprint on a flower petal"). Again around 39:10 (“Until my lawyer arrives”) until about 39:35 (furious stammering/sobbing). And lastly, some mild flickering from a fireplace at the very end, around 42:20 (“...my therapy) until the credits roll (all sound cuts out, then is replaced by irregular percussion-dominated music).

The show reflects the time of setting and of creation and uses terms like psychopath, sociopath, and psychotic. It is unclear if it is meant in an ableist way or not, but it is something to be aware of in that the demonization of mental illness and personality disorders is unfortunately a big part of the show

Alana (bisexual) and Margot (a lesbian) survive; Will and Hannibal (confirmed by Fuller to be bisexual and omnisexual/pansexual respectively) appear to die in the final episode of Season Three, but their survival is implied in the post-credits scene and has since been confirmed by Bryan Fuller and the cast. However, Anthony Dimmond, who is shown to proposition Hannibal, and Francis Dolarhyde, who writes about Hannibal in a romantic/sexual context in his journal, are both killed.

For the most part the show is surprisingly good when it comes to portraying characters with disabilities and severe mental illness in an empathetic light, like Will Graham, Georgia Madchen, and Peter Bernadone (at least in comparison to most of the horror genre). However, Francis Dolarhyde has a cleft lip and thinks of himself as hideous. While the cause of his self-hatred is likely the severe abuse he experienced as a child, its still a notable correlation.

I personally would not count the age gaps as “large,” but some people might be uncomfortable with it regardless.
Alana Bloom is in her early-mid 30s when she has a tryst with Hannibal, who is in his late 40s. Similarly, Will Graham is in his early 30s and Hannibal in his late 40s.
