It's no accident that Hannibal ended up here. Perhaps it wasn't the plan from the day the pilot was written, but the show's operatic style, coupled with its increasingly elaborate plotting, kept pushing the series into grander and grander territory. That it ended up in the cradle of the Renaissance, with Hannibal Lecter on the run and Will Graham in hot pursuit, feels like fate.
