NBC’s ‘Hannibal’ season 3, episode 5 preview: All roads lead to Florence, Dr. Lecter

Hannibal -Tonight’s episode of “Hannibal” was to us, simply outstanding. We finally had a chance to see the majority of the cast yet again, and the show progressed beyond some of the theoretical and drifted a little back more into the physical world. There was still imagery, but at the same time we had some powerful character-based stories that allowed us to see just where all of these characters were emotionally before embarking on their grand search of Europe.

Now, let’s take a moment to turn to “Contorno,” the new episode airing next week that will do hopefully a great job of showing all of the different walls that are closing in on Hannibal. He did a very good job avoiding some of the obstacles for a long time, but the truth is for him now that there may simply be far too many people who want him either dead or in prison. Just take a look at the synopsis below:

“Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) and Inspector Pazzi (guest star Fortunato Cerlino) search for clues that will lead them closer to Hannibal Lecter’s (Mads Mikkelsen) location in Florence, but the promise of riches offered by Mason Verger (guest star Joe Anderson) threatens to corrupt Pazzi’s quest for redemption. Meanwhile, Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Chiyoh (Tao Okamoto) travel to Florence, both on a mission to find Hannibal, but at odds over the desired outcome. Elsewhere, as Alana Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) continues to work with Mason Verger she grows concerned for the safety of all involved.”

Here’s just one more quick reminder that if you love this show like we do, tell other people to watch it! It’s going to most likely be in danger of being gone for good most of the summer following NBC’s cancellation.
