To the show’s credit, Villanelle’s desires have been always clear since s.1, even if she wasn’t able to understand them, because she doesn’t fully comprehend the feelings and how to communicate them: “fun job, nice flat, someone’s to watch movies with.”
My high hopes for this show were connected to the fact that it wasn’t just Phoebe, but also Vicky and Jenny Robins (story producer). They all worked together on KE s.1 and Fleabag s.2. So to me the biggest shock is how the pacing and the show premise just...fell apart.
Considering the ratings (last ep live ratings were 0.06 demo and 190k viewers), I suspect it’s a game over, unless HBO will want to keep at all cost Phoebe’s and Vicky’s production company DryWrite in their orbit.
Grades for this season never ceases to amaze me, lol. But I guess we just have a different taste when it comes to KE.
Agreed. Postpoding awards is not a good idea. If the circumstances are unique, treat them as such.
Don’t watch the show, but heard about that accident. Awful!
I mean, I know people had some opinions about her acting etc. But I would run away from this job too.
That Ruby’s speech was good, but the longer the conversation was, the less impact it had on me, and that, I feel, happens too often on this show.
I’m watching s.1 right now! So exciting! Already love what I see.
I loved Carolyn’s story about Dasha: “I first met her when she had been just kicked out of the KGB. Sorrento. The weather was unusually hot for that time of year, and I waited for her at a cafe. And before she sat down she plucked a lemon from a tree and took the most enormous bite out of it, rind and all.”
Sooo badass!
Camille Cottin. I’m begging you, KE writers, do not kill her character. I know you are trying to force us to care about Geraldine or Bitter Pill dudes, but you have this enigma here that has such strong, unforced presence. Do not lose her!
[V. will probably kill her next week]
Indeed. Tho “PISS OFF FOREVER” line was spectacular.
Forever!!!! lol
I have to say, Villanelle’s development over the course of three seasons. Risky as hell, but honestly? I like it how they are doing it. I don’t think we realized or cared just how much of a pupppet she was. It was all there from the beginning, we just didn’t care, and neither did Villanelle. The persona of Villanelle…
This episode moved the plot forward so fast and had so much information. It feels like 1/3 of that info could have been revealed earlier, in ep 3-5 for example. That being said, while it’s not a groundbreaking spy stuff, it’s also not jarring. All reveals made some sort of sense, I especially like the fact that it’s…
she is a legend!
Someone wrote on twitter that for the first time the show allowed the audience to believe her and this - like you said - somehow makes this even more chilling. That’s why the moment when she breaks the fourth wall (just for a sec) is legit “whoa moment”. Because it’s clear that it was a conscious choice, and it…
“We can rule the wooooooordl!”
Yeah, I thought they did better job here than in Polish episode, mainly because here we actually spend some time with the characters (the cast was really good in this episode, they worked so well together). So while overall take on Eastern Europe was really cliche, here it sort of worked, because that place looked…
still not available in my country. Not fair!
I thought this ep was not good -to put it mildly, and PWB appearance screamed fanservice.
