    Really, being honest, this shouldn't have been made. The PWB authored season one was a spectacular piece of television. This however simply didn't work. Every tension is made flabby and every dynamic, blunt. The writing simply isn't as sharp. The season improves a little towards the end, but there is a hell of a lot of really-not-so-stylised treading of water. A shame.

    Absolute drivel, rubbish. My wife and I have just finished watching this. Out of 8 episodes in the second series there was approximately 5 minutes worth watching. The first series was great. This was absolute sh*te.

    My wife hyping season 1 and the buzz in the wider media got me to watch 2 and a bit episodes of season 2. Sorry but this is drivel, sub A level writing that would have been called out I suspect were it not for the fact of its 'innovative' use of female characters in 'traditionally' male roles.

Its success is indeed based on a very basic trick: Daubed in "feminism", its talisman protects it from every negative critic that would be too scared to break the taboo. If the lead characters were men, it would be discarded as the non-sense and drivel that it truly is. What American critics hail as dark British humour is just a direct descendant of that second-rate simplistic British materialistic and egocentric nihilistic culture of Hume and Locke.

    Episode 1:
    Some of the hospital scenes try to be embarrassingly funny. It doesn't work at all. The "bad girl" languish there for such a long time only to pretend to reveal her "humanity" towards the little boy who thinks he is a monster. Just to expunge a clichéd 3 $ pseudo philosophical line: "we are all not normal". Then, as if self-aware of this mawkish instinct, she kills him. Probably to shock middle-class female audiences, ...who feel so good about themselves when they seem to overcome their instinctive repulsion. This feels like a rather cheap thrill. Also, very hypocritically, It makes us empathise with a psycho-killer just because she is a woman.

    Otherwise:
    The score is always this ethereal crappy elektro-music that frame all the useless scenes.
    The Sandra Oh post-crime psychological anguish scenes are both totally chichéd and badly acted: "I need to cook or listen to a hard-sell cold call to get over myself".
    I could go on and on on this rant. If I were a feminist and/or British, I would be embarrassed.
    This is a show you love to hate basically.

    PS: The boyfriend of Sandra Oh must have repeated that line 100 times"Can you tell me what's going on?" already.

Jodie Comer is such a standout she eats the screen, and is the only thing worthwhile in this otherwise painful endeavour. Found myself fast forwarding through the parts that obviously were filler, e.g. Eve's husband & everything but Jodie.… Expand

    It needs a bit of grit, though there is a new MI6 posh boy to bounce off and she did have that great line about "murder on the dancefloor". Anyway it ended with the best use of a bog brush in drama that I have seen. Bravo.

    The script is still tight and the jokes are still there, as are Villanelle’s accents, outfits and abrupt killings, but without the will-they/won’t-they energy of the initial plot, it is harder to care.

    Killing Eve’s new season is compulsively watchable, the most defiantly rock‘n’roll of television’s crime procedurals. Like its assassin, the show is snarky and bombastic, always drawing blood with a smile. Like its hero, Eve, it’s purposeful and droll, consumed by paranoia and occasionally lacking focus.
