Hannibal: Oeuf (2013)
Season 1, Episode 4
10/10
Definitely creepy, but a different kind of creepiness.

Warning: Spoilers
This is the episode of Hannibal that was reportedly un-aired due to its graphic nature. Basically, the villain of this episode is a woman who is attempting to create a family of introverted boys from affluent families. She tricks them into loving her and then gets them to kill their families in cold blood. Given the rise and more attention that school shootings have gotten lately, I can see why this episode is so controversial.

Hannibal and Will, as usual, have their incredible chemistry. Alana is still totally blind to the possibility that Abigail may be a reluctant accomplice to her father's crimes. And we get to see a little more of Jack Crawford's home life with the first appearance of Bella Crawford (played by Gina Torres) who has only one cryptic line but fans of the series will know what it means.

There's also a strange scene with Abigail and Hannibal which is a good example on how unorthodox Dr. Lecter is with some of his patients.
