It was great. They offered the first book on Netgalley just after it aired and I snapped it up. Unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing after the show. A lot of the factors that I loved about the series were obviously added by the screenwriter. Still a good book but lacking something in comparison.

I was hooked. Gave it a try because I loved her in Grey’s & I wasn’t disappointed.

To be honest it is for me not as good as the hype-its ok I have one episode left so I will reserve my overall comments.

@Susan, I didn’t either, must confess I gave up on it, which is unusual.

Watched the first episode due to all the hype and thought WTF? But carried on as everyone else seemed to like it. By the end of the second episode I was hooked and loved it. Sandra Oh was fantastic.

I was hoping it would be great but…. the dark haired main character I found incredibly annoying. The female psychopath was more believable although I didn’t like her. I think a second series would just be a rerun of series two so probably won’t watch it

@Sara I still don’t understand why she didn’t get an Emmy nomination! She was a revelation.

Same here, Sandra Oh seemed to get a lot more recognition and while she was very good Jodie was outstanding!

Terrible and unbelievable. The assassin was likeable.

1
Reply
James

It wasn’t meant to be believable, surely? Some crime fiction, like many a police procedural, strives for realism. Others, gleefully suspend disbelief. I would put Killing Eve firmly in this latter camp (obviously, as you say, it wasn’t believable at all). As for your second point, I liked the assassin, but perhaps that says more about my twisted personality ?

Beverley

I absolutely loved it. My favourite tv mini-series in a long time. I loved the two leading ladies – what brilliant actors they are. I loved the confidence and yet fragility below the surface of Villanelle. As psychopaths go, she was captivating. Also, the obvious fear and unsurmountable bravery of Eve. Addictive viewing, in my opinion.

Best thing I’ve seen ever! Much better than Bodyguard which was bizarre, unrealistic and has the clichéd sexual relationship that was completely bonkers, just for a headline (just saying!).
