Though it's named for one of its principal characters, and spends a lot of time working from the perspective of a second principal character, Hannibal is at its best when it's an ensemble show. Despite the procedural elements of the story, this show is an intricate web of personalities, rivalries, and delicate minds, and every expansion of its cast is meant to inform another part of the web.
