The Human Brain
The first time I held a human brain in Anatomy Lab I was completely speechless. I looked at my classmates expecting a similar reaction and they looked back at me confused like…”dude let’s start identifying the structures.” I had to take a step back and let it process…in my hands was someone’s entire life. From start to finish, every memory, every emotion, every bodily control…was right there in my hands.

yes because hannibal gives us such realism with it disproportionate amount of elaborate serial killers in one city and hannibal lecter’s magic cannibalism vampire powers and being able to move a dead body out of a house without the dozens of law enforcement officers outside noticing
so realistic
the female fbi agents are most def the most fantastical parts of this program
