And, with an incredibly poetic (albeit frustrating) final scene, Killing Eve wraps its most uneven season to date. While I’ve been writing about it for the past eight weeks, often calling it out for its shockingly incoherent plotting and spiraling narrative, I had genuinely high hopes for the finale. I was expecting it to tie […]
Well gang, we’ve done it. We’ve made it through the penultimate episode of season three of Killing Eve, and I sure hope you understand all of what the show is trying to show us better than I do at this point. Watching this episode I had multiple moments where I was genuinely confused at how […]
We finally got an episode that contained a pretty even balance of the show’s central four characters. It only took nearly the entire season to get us to this point; a season that had far too many rambling narrative tangents that pulled focus away from the season’s central arc, thereby making it a muddled mess […]
I don’t understand the purpose of “Are You From Pinner?”, both as an episode of Killing Eve and as an episode of the series that falls so late in the show’s third season. I think I understand what showrunner Suzanne Heathcote wanted from this episode (to explore a bit more about who Villanelle was and […]
Poor Nico. Yet another casualty of the continue push and pull between Eve and Villanelle, albeit one that didn’t stem from either of their direct actions – which is what makes this particular twist a touch more interesting than those that have become before. Sure, we all knew Nico was unlikely to make it out […]
The problem with all cat and mouse stories is that once the two seemingly incompatible foes have met, the story loses that key element of tension that pulled it along. Now, with Killing Eve, we’re leagues past that initial meeting, but the series is still trying to chase that same high as we, the audience, […]
And just like that, they pulled her back in. We all knew Eve was going to get back in the game sooner rather than later (there’s no show if Eve isn’t working as a spy in some capacity, after all), and Kenny’s death certainly has provided the perfect path back into the life that has […]
One of my chief complaints with the second season of Killing Eve was that the series lacked any real stakes. The season was built around the premise that Eve and Villanelle would work together, which meant that despite Villanelle’s penchant for extreme violence in the name of dealing with her twisted attraction to Eve*, we […]
A chill is in the air (at least in the Midwest and New England – sorry rest of the country) and fall is just around the corner. Which means it’s once again time for the Emmy Awards – a night for the television folks to pat themselves on the back for another year of way […]
I’ve been writing about television for the past six years, and for much of that time, Emmy Nomination day was my second least-favorite day of the year (the Emmy Awards themselves were my least-favorite day, for a variety of reasons). Every Tuesday, I would read through the list of nominees and get angry over how […]
