As a random aside I think my immunity to the aesthetic charms of vampires may partly explain the way my brain processes NBC Hannibal, which is to say: S1 was electric spine-tingling horror that truly hits in a way that’s rare for me with the genre; in the abstract I can appreciate that it is a deeply horny show (unsettling power games, intensely lush and sensual visual language, have you looked at all these actors); however in practice the fact that Hannibal Lecter is genuinely scary coexists with the fact that personally I find him to be the world’s most cringefail loser in the least endearing or sexy way possible
