This episode is forty five minutes of pure perfection. Simple as. From the get-go, the music has the audience on edge. The sound of a ticking clock reminds you that perhaps Hannibal Lector's reign of terror may finally be coming to an end. By watching this I guarantee you one thing; you will not see a better episode of television in your life. This episode alone is more than enough to convince anyone into watching the full series. However, it's the final twenty minutes or so where the episode really shines. The events that take place are both shocking and touching. Once again, the choice of music in the final scenes coupled with Mads Mikkelsen's exquisite performance make it impossible not to, at the very least, shed a tear. His delivery of the final lines trigger goosebumps and cause you to rethink your life. He is THAT good.
Those who have given this masterpiece less than ten stars clearly didn't watch it. 10/10
