Management Sucks

The main characters all get almost equal time in this transitional episode, updating their status and relationships after the death of Shaw's son as main plot catalyst, alongside Comer's new assignment en route to her hoped-for promotion in her shady organization.

The new characters are introduced rather cooly, in that in the "Killing Eve" universe their lifespan literally can end at any moment (part of the black humor that tinges this edition).

I like the regulars and it's fun to watch their quirky behavior, even if in this series quirkiness has been so normalized (especially for Comer, whose constant costume changes sort of dominate her scenes, and whose outbursts are almost predictable by now). I'm not sure that the cold/cool overall tone and tight editing, very British, is as effective as might be a more ebullient Swinging Sixties approach, especially given the Comer character's flamboyance.

Seriously, truth be told this is the steepest decline in a show that I can remember. The first two seasons were refreshing, fun and quirky. By episode 6 I was hoping entire cast would somehow be on a bus that was hit by a train that then exploded. I just wanted it over with and buried. I couldn't wait until the season started and by episode 3 I would watch it a week after it aired and I even had times where the next episode had already come out but I just couldn't be bothered.

Anyhow, they just got so boring and what is the deal with the gal from game of thrones character? I don't think she did a bad job it was just a character that had no reason to exist.

Ugghh I can't even get in to writing this it is just awful And I am pretty sure if we weren't in lock down someone would have told me not to even bother. Ridiculous show that started out so well is just pathetic.

I feel like I have feasted on the greatest meal imaginable. Not a single hair or foot out of place.

I was worried after Series 2 that without Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Killing Eve was going to slide - and it did for the remainder of Series 2. But oh, how it has bounced back with a vengeance with Suzanne Heathcote.

Vibrant, understated brilliance, script, acting, set designs, plot advancement... just everything is perfect.

Delicious!

First off, I love this show. The first episode was a bit off kilter, but still good. The second episode sends a clear message, the writers have no idea where to go. It's pure filler all the way and doesn't bode well for the season. I should have waited before purchasing the season. I hope they get back on track.

I have decided that I'm going to review every episode of this season as a way to document my feelings and, sadly, frustrations as each episode airs.

Sadly, after the rather appalling season premiere, the second episode didn't do much in the way of dispelling my fears for this season. Uninspired writing, boring character interactions, countless missed opportunities and overuse of 'chic' cinematography adds up to another soulless and disengaging episode.

The scenes that had potential (Carolyn in the car, the clown party) came up short. I am giving this a 6/10 because the central actors continue to give great performances, but their talents are being entirely wasted on such a boring story.

The greatest disappointment is that we all know what levels of greatness this show can achieve - it would be a criminal shame for it to be reduced into the drivel that it sadly looks like it is becoming.

Tune in next week for my thoughts on Episode 3.
