Digestivo feels like a quintessential Hannibal episode reminiscent of the main character's appeal in the movies.
Lecter is a nefarious creation, but the filmmakers are very clever in certain aspects of his arc. The previous episode showed him in a shocking moment of villainy, yet here (whilst equally as gruesome) due to the manipulative use of the characters Mason Verger and Cordell, the audience root for Lecter.
For me the narrative involving Lecter in Europe and the Verger family is concluded perfectly by the events depicted and interactions between characters. The last exchange between Graham and Lecter is especially satisfying.
My only criticism of the episode (down to personal taste) is that, as amazing as the visuals are, it goes too far. I refer specifically to the scene involving the pig and what is shown to be removed from inside it. For me the scan and flatline would have been sufficient.
Generally there are some sick and twisted goings on in this one, that for me are impossible to enjoy, but nonetheless I have to admire the writing, acting and filmmaking on display.
