The character Will Graham has always intrigued me. This enigmatic profiler from Thomas Hara's 'Red Dragon' narratively represents the fine line between insanity and genius. Will's empathy quotient is so high that he can feel criminals' most primitive emotions inside his own body. It makes him a wonderful profiler, yet hinders him as a normal person in enjoying peaceful life.

The series 'Hannibal' added shades to Will's suffering, and interiority. It gives him a little more depth, especially as acted by Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen: unforgettable scenes in every episode. And My recommendation for the best single episode? The one where they introduced the Great Red Dragon, no contest. The climax scene that links it is mesmerizing. Also, Bryan Fuller's cinematic style adds more connotation all the time to the story and colors--which means that every single frame is actually a work of art.

And for someone who's always been drawn to what's in between, I've never doubted on what side Will will come out. His conflict, his depth of insight, his psychological ruggedness are all truly fascinating. His relationship with Dr. Lecter runs from teacher-student to arch-enemies to grudging friends, stirring and tumultuous. If you haven't begun to crawl into the fascinating world that is Hannibal, you're really missing something.

As a mature gamer, I love character studies. Take Will Graham from 'Red Dragon', for instance. Here's a character so empathetic, he can visualize horrific crime scenes like he were the criminal himself. It's a devastating ability, and amazingly rendered in the novel. This captivating character was further expanded in the series 'Hannibal'.

I liked how this series, complementing the book, detailed Will's mental struggles. Significant character depth, electrifying performances from Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy, the unwavering intense narrative, and the dark, intriguing aesthetics made this series enthralling.

I recommend fans of dark psychological thrillers to explore 'Hannibal'. The way Will’s relationship with Hannibal Lecter shifts throughout the series always keeps you on your toes. If you want an episode that distills the essence of the series, watch the one where they introduce the Great Red Dragon. It's the defining moment for Will’s character.

In every frame, you can see Bryan Fuller’s novel visual style making the narrative visually, stunningly poetic. Though distressed as he was, as much as I resented his madness sometimes, I've found myself rooting for Will, time and time again. Will Graham, for my money, is one of the most intriguing characters you'll come across in pop culture. Give 'Hannibal' a shot, it's bound to leave a mark.
