Upon reflection, it is absolutely insane that Hannibal aired on NBC.
CBS: "Ho, ho, ho, we've got a pretty twisted crime procedural about serial killers. It's called Criminal Minds and, yeah, it pushes some broadcast boundaries. 😏"

NBC in 2014: "That's cute."
Imagine NBC trying to plug Hannibal during Thursday night football matches.

I'm very grateful we got Hannibal, it's just truly, truly insane that it existed on NBC.
All of which is to say: Hannibal was so ahead of its time.

NBC trying to convince America to watch a beautifully grotesque show about alienation/mental health issues, with extremely obvious queer undertones, packaged in fanfiction tropes? Hard.

On Netflix? In 2021? Way easier.
