April 24, 20187 yr I stumbled across a new BBC America series, Killing Eve, that has been surprisingly entertaining and interesting so far (3 episodes in)... It's about a female MI-5 agent (of sorts) tracking a hot, psychotic, female assassin... good acting... nice mix of suspense, violence and humor... just thought I'd recommend it.
April 24, 20187 yr I saw a teaser for this and thought I had set it for recording on my DVR. Need to double check.
April 25, 20187 yr It has a great rating on IMDB. I think it just has 2 more episodes, so I am holding out to binge it.
April 25, 20187 yr We are just past episode 3. It's fucking fantastic. The assassin is stupid hot. Sandra Oh is awesome.

April 25, 20187 yr I have very little patience for Sandra Oh but I have really enjoyed the first two episodes.
May 1, 20187 yr Last episode was damned good and funny too. Shocked this show isn't getting much attention.

She seems to REALLY enjoy the up close and personal kills ... so perhaps she was wanting him to gas or trying to wing him and rather than get the torso kill shot... or maybe long range shooting just isn't her forte'?
May 16, 20187 yr I just started watching this and am hooked. It's terrific, funny and the assassin is fine.
May 16, 20187 yr Yeah, it's great. The actress playing the assassin is good at being a psycho. Just two more episodes left in the season.
May 18, 20187 yr For the cord cutters... any recommendations on how to watch this?BBC America on Apple TV.

January 28, 20196 yr Is this the only thread that this show was discussed? Just got to the scene where Villanelle breaks into Eve's house. Holy shit that scene was mesmerizing. Also, LOL at "1,2,3....4..." as the phone password.
April 17, 20196 yr Really like this show after watching all of season 1 last week and catching up on season 2 last night. Anyone else watching?
April 17, 20196 yr I binged the entire first season a couple of weeks ago. Villanelle is so hot and such a great actress. It's impossible to take your eyes off her when she's onscreen. I didn't see this past Sunday's episode yet. This is really hard time of year to keep up with my dvr between NCAA and NBA basketball, baseball, hockey playoffs, and the nice weather. Maybe I'll wait until several episodes buildup before I get back into this.
April 18, 20196 yr Caught up last night. Season 2 is pretty good. I may have mentioned this about season 1 but i really like their use of music.
April 18, 20196 yr It’s early yet, but this season’s twin storylines of “Villanelle’s Crazy Roadtrip” and “There’s a whole new assassin and she’s an Anti-Villanelle” feel like standard “new season-where do we go from here?” stock tropes. Not enthusiastic so far.

Not enthusiastic so far. I'm fine with a little bit of "where do we go from here" because I think that the characters are what make this show entertaining (and because I can't remember fuck all of whatever convoluted plot there was about The Twelve from last season and I don't think they've done an especially good job of building in refreshers) but I had a hard time believing that Villanelle had such difficulty killing that dude. I'd like to watch a Villanelle and HBO Barry crossover series.
April 21, 20196 yr I'm almost done with season 1 and I really like it. The acting is really strong. Villanelle is such a great character. I got to meet and hang out with Sandra Oh a long time. She was super nice and fun.
April 22, 20196 yr This show is one of the best on TV right now. Still can't shake the feeling that something is up Eve's husband. But that would be a pretty predictable tv trope, which this show usually avoids, so I'm probably wrongTeam Konstantin.
April 22, 20196 yr Yeah, I'm glad for this thread. I never would have watched it but I blew through season one and dig it. Really good shit.
April 22, 20196 yr Jodie Comer. She was the main character in The White Princess. I cannot remember if she got naked there or not.

April 23, 20196 yr And I can't believe the creator of this show also created Fleabag. I couldn't even make it through half an episode of Fleabag.

Anyone else watching? present. i had similar feelings about s2 after the premiere (that it was not going anywhere, standard s2 confusion), but really like where it's heading now. as for villanelle's facial expressions - when she was checking into the hotel and saw the clerk's vodka, they exchanged looks, and i cracked up and had to rewind it and watch again. after a slow start, i'm excited now again for where it's going. agreed about the husband - there's a story there waiting to happen.
May 1, 20196 yr This was a great Villanelle episode. BORING, they look like bacon, "get a real life" and the look she gave that instagram chick, tripping the girl in the bar, and one of her best murders...
May 2, 20196 yr She's so sexy as a Russian assassin and the actress loses 80% of her appeal when she speaks with her normal scouse accent.
May 8, 20196 yr Last episode took a weird turn, and not a good one. Too early to sound the alarms but I don't like think this "Eve and Villanelle" as coworkers dynamic.
May 13, 20196 yr Wow, that was a great moment when Villanelle pushed that woman in front of the truck. And lulz at her text to Eve afterwards: 🚚😯👻👍
May 28, 20196 yr Is this show starting to suck? It used to be so awesome. I started watching the next to last episode and I had to turn it off 10 minutes in. Eve and Villanelle don't work as coworkers and jealous lovers. Villanelle has become lame and Eve is even worse. I'll have to rewatch and power through it. Hopefully it's just a momentary misstep.
May 28, 20196 yr didn't love this season like the first but it looks like next season they may be enemies again.
June 1, 20196 yr I really enjoy this show and think Villanelle is an outstanding character and one of the most promising on TV. And Sandra Oh has always annoyed me, but I enjoy the rest of this show enough that I generally overlook that. That being said, I find myself just wondering "what the fuck is happening" in this show far more often than I understand. I feel like there's so much left off-screen, or implied, or just hastily and/or poorly explained that I just need to stop trying to figure out the who, hoe, why, etc., of the underlying (I hesitate to even call it a "story") "subframe." Am I the only one who just has to say "fuck it, whatever, don't worry about it" constantly with this show? I don't know if this has anything to do with my peculiar bewilderment, but it's almost as if this show can't decide whether to be a serial, on-going plot or a more episodic "murder of the week" format. I personally much prefer the one-off nonsense that allows Villanelle's character to shine through versus the overarching "The Twelve"/Eve's Workplace Intrigue bullshit.

June 1, 20196 yr I love this show. I agree with you though. This year was so bizarre in so many ways. And there were too much confusing stuff. To me, it was better last year when there was a true cat and mouse mystery. Eve chasing Villanelle. Villanelle’s crush on Eve. This year, with the villains working with the good guys, was strange and weird feeling, and often times didn’t make sense. And the ending? What a cliff hanger. But, I felt like I’d seen it before.
