Jodie is killing it with out performance as Villanelle. She is captivating and her facial expressions should win an award on their own. With that said ... I really didn't like the way the writers made her so weak & pathetic in this episode. Wondering if there is a point of making Eve so annoying??? She was funny and bearable in season 1 ... season 2 I just want Villanelle to kill her and find a more endearing obsession.

Good Job Eve, We Could Not Have Done Without You.

Warning: Spoilers
"If you two are our nation's great hope, I will start building the bunker now." I think this sums my opinion about Eve still being in the department even though she does stuff without telling anyone. This episode was good, my only big problem is how it wastes time in uninteresting stuff like interviewing Peel and the selling. Even though the show uses so much time for this plot point, there is nothing memorable from these scenes. Villanelle's storyline is as always intriguing and engaging. Jodie Comer is awe-inspiring as Villanelle. If you take out Villanelle's storyline, you will see that the show has almost nothing to offer different than any other crime show. Other than her relationship with Villanelle, Eve Polastri is not interesting at all therefore I can't understand how people can give these episodes 10. When the screentime of Jodie Comer lessens, my interest also lessens. The thing I hate most about Eve is, she thinks she is brilliant and all and acts in that way but she accomplishes almost nothing. All she does is state the fact that, the killer is using complex poisons therefore she must be a doctor or nurse. Good Job Eve, We Could Not Have Done Without You.

Desperate Times

Carolyn Martensn has to answer to someone and it seems she is not doing a good enough job for Helen Jacobson (Zoe Wanamaker) who needs to munch on more Pringles.
The cat and mouse between Villanelle and Eve continues. Eve might be looking for the Ghost but she really wants to hunt down Villanelle. You now see a change in Eve. Just see how quickly she narrows down the suspects as to who the Ghost might be. The downside is that her relationship with Niko is suffering.
As for Villanelle she carries out a low level but grisly hit job in Amsterdam and Jess is sent in to investigate not Eve. It is all too much for Villanelle who nearly makes a sloppy mistake if Konstantin did not intervene.
It's Villanelle who acts like a woman spurned by her lover and she is in a mess.
One story really kicked in this episode and fast. A suspect is apprehended as the Ghost, I thought this would go on for a while. Villanelle has gone freelance with Konstantin yet she is falling apart. We have never seen her that way before.

Fine Line

How far do you go with black comedy before you cross the line?
The drama crossed it in this episode.
The Amsterdam window scene was just vile.
At least the makers did not stay true to the depiction in the painting, but nonetheless despite the comic gestures by Villanelle, there was nothing comic about it. There wasn't even an explanation as to why, other than for money?
A snack of a show
TheRavenOfAll12 May 2019
A well-written and well-acted TV series suddenly turned into a disgusting act of eating and drinking. These last episodes might be the television's first episodes with more chewing, crunching, slurping, sipping noise than actual dialogue. I don't remember a single scene with someone not eating or drinking. I have no idea what the purpose of recent increase in eating and drinking in movies and TV series but it borderlines disgusting. Maybe this is some twisted version of "relating with the audience" in order to increase rating but remember "Jennifer Lawrence"
