With Hannibal getting a Complete Series collection on Blu-ray and DVD released this week, we're looking back on the masterful show's 10 best episodes. Obviously, fans still hope to one day get a continuation of Hannibal, something series creator Bryan Fuller and his cast still wish as as well , though for now, nothing is certain.

"Objection, your honor. The witness is clearly a manifestation of the defendant's inner turmoil."

But even if we never get more, we'll take this moment then to rejoice in the nightmarish glory that Hannibal gave us in its threes seasons on the air - the ghoulishly gourmet remix of Thomas Harris' Dr. Lecter book series that surprised most everyone with its artful hand and its demented dreamscapes. Plus, some of the most creatively disturbing content ever shown on television.Here's Hannibal's Top 10...

''Apéritif''

It all began, in Hannibal's very first episode, with a reclusive, possibly-autistic FBI lecturer named Will Graham being asked to profile a serial killer dubbed "The Minnesota Shrike." Little did Will know that his hunt for the maniac named Garret Jacob Hobbs would lead him into the manipulative arms of one Dr. Hannibal Lecter - himself a conniving, cannibalistic serial killer known only to those investigating his victims as "The Chesapeake Ripper." With this pilot episode, the stunning visual template was set, the show's true love story began, and with two words - "They know" - Hannibal proved to be an expert at creating chaos to serve his own curiosity.

''Contorno''

"Contorno" viscously and violently broke up some of a bit of a mini-rut some viewers felt the early episodes of Season 3 were in. Not only did Hannibal make quick, cruel work of Inspector Pazzi, who had attempted to capture Hannibal to collect the bounty set by Mason Verger, but then Jack Crawford arrived on the scene to - how does one put this? - beat the ever-loving crap out of Hannibal. It was a massive, satisfying payback by Jack for almost getting killed by Lecter back in the Season 2 finale.

''Fromage''

There aren't really any of the early "killer of the week" episodes on this list (though we loved them), but Season 1's "Fromage" placed Hannibal himself in the line of fire for the first time when one of his patient's "friends" turned out to be a crazed musician with a penchant for turning dudes into human instruments - with their vocal chords splayed out like cello strings. Not only did this episode feature this incarnation of Hannibal getting physical (and bloody) for the first time onscreen, but it gave us one of the show's (many allusions/references to Silence of the Lambs in the form of Tobias' basement lair.

''Mukozuke''

This Season 2 classic not only featured the sad, sickening fate of Agent Beverly Katz (frozen and vivisected in thin cases of class) but also Will, while still incarcerated, crossing a huge line by essentially putting a hit out on Hannibal by utilizing a "fanboy" copycat named Matthew Brown - an orderly at the Baltimore Insane Asylum. It ended with Brown getting very close to not just ending Hannibal for good, but also succeeding/supplanting him as the Ripper.

''Rôti''

Hannibal's mental manipulations/psycho-experiments on Will reached critical mass in Season 1's "Rôti" when Will - thanks to his empathy disorder, advanced encephalitis, and Dr. Lecter's secret strobe light sessions - lost all sense of his own identity. And, naturally, Hannibal was there to push him over the edge even more when the murderous (and also identity deficient, thanks to some nifty "psychic driving") Dr. Abel Gideon escaped and started butchering psychiatrists. Including Dr. Chilton, who has his first unfortunate run in, as the show's resident Mr. Potato Head, with near-death mutilation.
