I found it rather paradoxical, that we have too many case backlogs and not enough magistrates and judges in ratio to the cases. Yet, the judicial services examination are not yearly, rather whenever a vacancy arises? I thought we had a severe dearth of judicial officers?

I had intially picked this show up in 2021, watched some episodes and decided to leave it for I perceived it to be too gory and dark. Cut to the middle of 2025, I suddenly felt the strong urge to pick this show up, because I have never abandoned a film/series regardless of how bad they may get.

You may not believe me, when I tell you that, this show gave me vivid nightmarish dreams and for perhaps the first time, I was not uncomfortable with those dreams and started appreciating them. I used to wake up with a smile, despite of having dreamt something horrible (not proud of it) and was not much moved by nightmarish dreams for a good chunk of time, thereafter. That is how deeply this show had a hold on my psyche (specifically season 2). Cinematography, dialogues and everything, it was like I was put in a hypnotic trance and I did not want it to end. Like, I evolved/devolved along with the main characters of the show.

I don’t think I will ever be able to love a show, as I came to love Hannibal, or more specifically, be so affected by a show. There was GOT, Handmaid’s tale, TWD, Severance, Silo, 3 Body Problem, Arcane, Pluribus and what not. Yet, Hannibal made a dent that probably no other show ever will. I dearly wish I could watch this show again, without having any knowledge of it whatsoever.

Ps: No show/film or whatever other medium, will ever top Mizumono for me and that is most definitely a problem.
