*peers from behind the veil of apparently hopeless optimism* isn’t it funny how whenever Netflix streams Hannibal that it always trends amongst the “popular on Netflix”? We as a fandom have sat here for the past 8 YEARS fuming over the fact that we may never get a 4th season of a show so lovingly crafted by the creators, writers, actors and by association, fans and have so desperately sought for a service willing to stream it. BUT WAIT Netflix pops the 3 beautiful seasons up, probably in a bid to lull us lingering fans into a sense of false hope yet have (as usual) done nothing to hint that they will assist in keeping this show alive. Yes I know, it’s for entertainment purposes and crime dramas are all the rage BUT it is a massive slap in the face where us TEN YEAR stans are concerned. Obviously, it’s amazing that we get to watch our show again, seeing as Prime dropped it BUT it is a concurrent kick in the teeth as Netflix apparently has the means to stream it for profit. So. It begs the question. Netflix periodically streams Hannibal for the sake of profit/exposure yet will do NOTHING with regards to a further season. And yes, I am aware that Hannibal has been off air for eight years. I am weeeeeeeell aware of that. I guess you could construe this post as being selfish because I am so fucking sick of streaming services dangling three perfect seasons in our faces yet do nothing to back further seasons. As Mads recently said, time is running out and if these streaming services are clinging to the scant seasons we were shown, why not back a further season, even if it is just in the interest of monetary gain. Idk, perhaps I’m just in a pissy mood. And not that I don’t appreciate being able to rewatch the three seasons we were given. I’m not clinging to the past, by any means and if we never get another season, then that is something I can completely accept. But it’s been eight fucking years of uncertainty. Can someone just give us some fucking closure? As a ten year stan, I’m sick of seeing these sporadic beacons of hope only to be disappointed. Ugh. Sorry. Consider this a bitter, spiced rum induced rant. *retreats back*
