I came across this show fairly recently and quickly got pulled in, but the Season 3 finale is the first episode to make me want to leave a review. Phenomenal scriptwriting, soundtrack, and acting. 10/10 recommend.

The 1st and 2nd seasons were great thanks to Jodie Comer, but quickly fell off a cliff with season 3 and 4.

On top of that is the fact they use the same soundtrack for the entire show, lesbian bait throughout, and killed off my favourite
The 1st and 2nd seasons were great thanks to Jodie Comer, but quickly fell off a cliff with season 3 and 4.

On top of that is the fact they use the same soundtrack for the entire show, lesbian bait throughout, and killed off my favourite character in a typical lesbian tragedy cliche.

I will give it marks for touching on Antisocial Personality Disorder/Sociopathy/Psychopathy, and although most terms are interchangeable... there are key differences, and about halfway through season 1-2 they decided just to call a blatant sociopath something they are not (psychopath)

I wish shows would just stop making things they really have no concept of understanding.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finisged this series and i'm waiting for season 3 !!! It's clearly one of my favorite series. Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer play their role to perfection and offer us a beautiful, though complex, relationship in the midst of criminal investigation. Secondary characters like Konstantin, Kenny or Niko allow to flesh out this amazing story. Expand

Comer is marvellous as Villanelle, but the real star of the show to me is Fiona Shaw, yes really. She totally brings out the black comedy in this series being the witty, dead-pan of the somewhat pseudo-MI6 chief Carolyn. She suits the roleComer is marvellous as Villanelle, but the real star of the show to me is Fiona Shaw, yes really. She totally brings out the black comedy in this series being the witty, dead-pan of the somewhat pseudo-MI6 chief Carolyn. She suits the role perfectly, and i absolutely love every scene she is in.
The only thing i struggle with about the show is to really feel the sparks between Sandra Oh and Comer, as they are so incredible different characters.
But other than that it is a blast to see Jodie Comer murder her way trough the series.
a great binger-show.

Season one had poor writing and an abundance of logical plot holes, but the novelty of the characters — mostly Villanele— carried the show. Unfortunately, this novelty wears off in season 2 and they do a terrible job developing the remaining characters. The poor writing becomes unbearable. Such a shame really, the show could have been so much more... Expand

For people who are capable of watching Sandra Oh without suffering a herniating cringe fit.

Jodie Comer is incredible. The writing is witty and clever, while admittedly neither seasons 2 or 3 are quite as good as PWB in the first season.

If I’m not talking about it or posting about it, I’m listening to the soundtrack or rewatching it because no other show compares. Each season is uniquely delightful. The writing, acting, cinematography and character development are simply perfect. The relationship between Eve and Villanelle is simultaneously heart-breaking, scary and sensual. There’s simply nothing like this on TV. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. At first I thought how exciting and original, but after two full seasons I realized Eve is annoying as **** She is straight and lame.
There is no passion. She is pathetic. It's boring to see them try to make something out of nothing.

Ce qui pour une série d’espionnage est assez rédhibitoire, ma foi…! heureusement une très jolie blonde est là pour faire contre-poids… mais tellement caricaturale, si ridiculement exagérée et outrée dans son rôle de super tueuse sadique qu’on y croit pas une seule seconde. Il faut dire que cette sous-série merdique se veut également et vaguement humoristique, voire ironique sans doute mais que là aussi, on y croit pas et qu’on ne rit pas le moins du monde. On ne sourit pas non plus.

En vérité, c’est la soupe à la grimace et on tire grave la gueule parce qu’on s’emmerde incroyablement vite et longtemps là-dedans mais pas trop longtemps quand même… ou alors il faudrait me payer, me payer très cher pour regarder cette sous-série de merde jusqu’au bout !

Убивая Еву изумительный сериал.

Операторская работа на высоте, но не идеальная, если сравнивать с сериалом Эйфория (в котором операторская работа вышла на новый уровень). Также свет в каждой сцене выстроен так, будто настроение героев связано с ним. В совокупности с работой монтажера, от нее невозможно оторвать взгляд, некоторые сцены хочется пересматривать раз за разом.

Стилисты проделали невероятную работу, даже если вы никогда в своей жизни не замечали во что одеты герои, то уверяю вас в этом сериале вы будете с нетерпением ждать появление Вилланель, потому что ее наряды никого не оставят равнодушными. Визажисты тоже постарались на славу, ни один синяк или капля крови не выглядит искусственно. Локации подобраны таким образом, когда в сериале проходят действия, например, в Барселоне, то вы действительно почувствуете себя там.

Саундтрек подобран очень грамотно и в каждой сцене звучит очень лаконично, не мешая просмотру, но и не остается забытым после его окончания. Сценаристы очень детально проработали сюжет, в котором Ева и Вилланель прописаны настолько глубоко и детально, что при просмотре переживаешь сильнее, чем за чем либо другим. Каждый герой развивается из серии в серию, вы не найдете даже второстепенных героев, которые бы не изменились на протяжении всего сериала. В сериале нет филлерных серий, ни один диалог не кажется вымученным или излишне пафосным.

Актерская игра Джоди Комер (Вилланель) заключает в себе высшую актерскую работу, благодаря которой, вы мгновенно забываете, что смотрите сериал, а приходит чувство будто вы живете в их мире, ни на секунду она не выходит из образа, не переигрывает и в ее глазах можно увидеть и прочувствовать каждую грань того, что на чувствует. Все тоже самое можно сказать про всех актеров, которые играют главных героев.

О чем сериал: нам рассказывают историю агентши Евы Поластри, которая находит себя в наемной убийце Вилланель, которая благодаря своим грандиозным перевоплощениям умудряется быть невидимой для всех, кроме самой Евы.

Давно не было таких детективных сериалов, от которых захватывает дух.

10 из 10

Советую всем.
