Now, some of the shadowing is done on set with natural lighting, though most of it is done in post (and only a few scenes throughout the show have been censored). Showrunner Bryan Fuller knew this show was going to be a nightmare for Standards and Practices, and while they are given more leniency than any show in network history, the studio enacted a policy that nudity needed to be covered in blood (for dead bodies) and things of a particularly gruesome nature had to be opaque in shadow.

While this sequence is rendered in full effect, since the crew knew this was only going to air as a special feature, much of the series’ graphic moments are hidden in shadow. Herein lies what’s great and what’s awful about this transfer.
There is one more special feature: a producer’s cut of “Tome-wan,” which adds a very graphic fantasy Will Graham ( Hugh Dancy) has about murdering Hannibal Lecter ( Mads Mikkelsen) into the episode. The special features (running over ten hours all together) are spread out over four disks, which include four moderately long and detailed featurettes - making of, costume and design, season retrospective, broad interviews - at least one commentary track for every episode (the season finale “Mizumono” has two), a decent handful of deleted scenes and Scott Thompson’s video blog in which he interviews fellow cast and crew members. Hannibal is the best show on television, and thankfully not only has it been renewed for a third season, but it has also been given a solid transfer to Blu-ray.
