Lacks believability, plot wise like a Swiss cheese Firstly she had her chance to Kill Eve, several times, so that doesn't make sense. There is very little chemistry between Eve and Villannelle. Josie Comer is great and Sandra Oh is okay, solid no more. Tbh there are so many things that make this lame. For instance the son of Carolyn is conspiring with Eve! The so called three expert assassins can't kill one bearded guy, they are letting off heavy fire power in the English countryside!? And nobody has noticed this. And the classic scene where Villanelle is knocked out by Konstantin and he runs away, when he could have just taken the gun off her or battered again with the log! The next episode he shows up all concerned for his daughter? He could have sorted that situation before this. This yet again is over hyped pulp fiction with some very lazy writing.
It seems like the critics give this high marks as it's two women in the lead and eyebrow writer is a woman. Sorry that's just so condescending. It is clear that the writers have no real insight into the world of MI5 or how assassins actually work.
If you want to read about a brilliant new book by Leon Towers called My Brothers Keeper, this is proper a thriller.
