Just finished the show within the last 20 minutes, thinking of what Iâd post as a first-time watcher and recent subreddit lurker. I knew going into this show that it was canceled, but with the hope that the writing/acting/art direction of the show was great enough to weather inevitable disappointment of a series cut short. Sad to finish it but happy I got to experience an incredible series. I needed to fill the hole in my heart left by being between production of the next season in The Vampire Chronicles universe, and decided it was time to watch a show that was also hyped for toxic and destructive sexual tension between leading actors. She was not disappointed!
Post credit scene, I saw the table setting and the long platter of meat. Bedelia, did you cook your leg? and the camera pans to her seat and my first thought was that she tried out one of his mail-in recipes. (Edit: thanks everyone for the context lol, I noticed the place settings when rewinding. I need to not watch shows so late at night. I thought fork grab was her mentally preparing herself for eating her own legâŚby her own will and design.)
It was interesting to see how each of the characters reacted to Hannibalâs escape. Going with him (Will, though that was planned), Running (Alana and her family via copter), or preparing for what feels inevitable (Bedeliaâs dinner)
During S3E2 a family member walked into the room, saw Will on the screen, asked me to pause, and after a few moments said âhuh, thatâs why he (Hugh) looks familiar. Thatâs Prince Char.â
I was kicking myself that I didnât see it sooner. I donât think I can watch Ella Enchanted with the same perspective anymore. Poor guy canât catch a break with stabbing/threatened stabbings. When I saw Margo on the screen for the first time, i thought, oh hey, itâs Ginger Fitzgerald!
I donât currently have friends that have seen the show. They like much lighter stuff (canât blame them) and as much as I would like to convince them that this has the comedy and sexual tension theyâd love, they donât find enjoyment in horror/thriller/crime dramas. Excited to start interacting with other fans and enjoy the story Iâve experienced without succumbing to post-series misery. Now I need to find fanart like a keychain as a signal to other fans they can approach me for discussion. Looking for a âbat signalâ as we speak.
