    So far Killing Eve’s third season remains engrossing, surprising, and strangely funny (like when Villanelle gets an incurable case of hiccups over the prospect of seeing her family again). It’s also casually brutal, something that continues to give the series its edge. Still, there is something fresh about this new exploration of what has become an old dynamic, and the episodes get better and deeper as the season progresses.

    Killing Eve Season 3 is deeper, darker, and bigger in its scope than ever before.

    Just when your guard is down and the superficial glibness of the show can feel just a little too shallow, “Killing Eve” sticks an emotionally lacerating knife in your side, winding you in disbelief.

    It takes three episodes of an uneven but sporadically shocking third season for them [Eve and Villanelle} to cross paths again, but it's worth the wait. [27 Apr - 10 May 2020, p. 11]

    If Heathcote channels season one's strengths, she's also hampered by the storytelling traps the show set for itself from its earliest days on. ... With Oh and Shaw stranded in Glumville, Comer takes center stage. Even though many of her plots are retreads from season one, there's enough new energy to carry her storylines through.

    It’s still entertaining, often wildly so, and the performances alone are enough to guarantee that much week after week. But scattered amongst those great moments are some that feel like passable if pale imitations of what was.

    “Killing Eve” is a hybrid — a serialized procedural — and Season 3 tests how comfortable fans will be with a regimented structure. It’s perfectly fine entertainment, supported by two excellent performances. But if the series wants its edge back, it will have to go in for the kill.

    The writers use a contrivance viewers will see coming miles away to pull I’m-done-with-all-this Eve back into the game. It’s an eye-roll-worthy plot turn. The acting remains impeccable, the costumes amaze, the locations offer beauty shots galore. Maybe for some viewers that’s enough. But it’s tough to get past the unbelievable relationship at the show’s core.

At least we are still committed to the story through consistent performances from Sandra &Jodie. Delving into Villenrlls character felt like a misstep to me her intrigue was enough and settled in season 2 what should've been confronted here is Eves inherent pull to Villenell and what her ordeal has meant to both of them.… Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Another great season of Killing Eve, if not as exciting as the previous seasons. Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh just continue to give astounding performances, Jodie really steals the show again this season for me with her hilarious facial expressions that are just superb but still not underselling Sandra's performance and their chemistry is stupendous just so natural. The supporting performances from Fiona Shaw, Harriet Walter, Gemma Whelan, Evgenia Dodina, Yuli Lagodinsky, and Turlough Convery were remarkable. The writing was still excellent this season if not as intriguing as the previous though the character development with Villanelle was phenomenal showing that she does have a softer, kinder, moral side not just her ruthless, darker side that is shown the majority of the show. The costumes just continue to be exceptionally gorgeous especially the ones wore by Jodie Comer and I also like Sandra Oh and Fiona Shaw's fashion style on the show. The makeup and hairstyling is outstanding especially on Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer, Fiona Shaw, Gemma Whelan, Harriet Walter, and Evgenia Dodina. Also the cinematography continues to be beautifully done. Overall another terrific season and cannot wait for the next; still one of my top 10 favorite shows of all time.… Full Review »
