* ManipulativeBastard

to:

* ManipulativeBastardImprobableAimingSkills: Graham notes on the first crime scene we see that the killer "surgically" shot the man so that he bled out slowly enough to watch him attack his wife, and that the wife was shot through the neck ''missing'' all the major arteries so that she was paralysed but alive when the killer started to work on her. It should be noted that the first target was running down the stairs, and the second target's head was moving quite a bit, so clearly the killer was a damn good shot.
* ManipulativeBastard: Lecter, obviously, but Crawford too.

Set before the events of ''RedDragon'', the series follows FBI profiler Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) as he investigates difficult serial killer cases, eventually deciding to enlist the help of the world-renowned psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen). Of course, Graham is unaware that Lecter has secrets of his own...

* AffablyEvil: Lecter, of course, in contrast to the GoodIsNotNice Graham.
* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: Graham has a non-supernatural variation; Lecter describes him as having "pure empathy", which allows him to understand and get inside the head of pretty much anyone, even people who disgust or terrify him. Naturally, as an FBI profiler, he encounters many such minds and suffers greatly for his "gift".



* DramaticIrony: The audience knows that Lecter is a cannibalistic serial killer, but none of the other characters do at this point.
* {{Foil}}: Similar to the books, Graham and Lecter are foils for each other.
* ForegoneConclusion: At some point, maybe not in the series itself, but inevitably, Graham will discover what Lecter is and will nearly get killed in the process, which will result in Lecter imprisoned in Chilton's asylum, and Graham forced to retire from the FBI.
* GoodIsNotNice: Graham's involuntary mental intimacy with hardened psychopaths makes him a somewhat unpleasant person, in contrast to the AffablyEvil Lecter.




to:

* TheProfiler: Graham and Crawford are both professionals, and Lecter is technically a psychiatrist but is clearly highly respected as a profiler.
