Doesn't quite have the panther-like quality that Hopkins has for Lecter...That may evolve

Mads talked about this, about how he had to rein it in a little because Hannibal can't be his true self yet. He hasn't been caught yet so the monster he is must be hidden well below then surface with only undercurrents of his true nature showing through (e.g. showing no empathy at the death of the mother and near death of the daughter. I wonder if that's why he held her hand at the end. Play acting as a nice guy)
