Hello there,
I had the pleasure of watching Killing Eve a few months ago (I believe it was aired in the USA back in April and May)
I enjoyed it a lot and would agree that Jodie Comer is one hell of a talent to watch. I look forward to seeing her in other roles.
Best Wishes,
Tevot

As I said on 'The Bodyguard' thread I couldn't watch more than 20 minutes of 'Killing Eve'. It reminded me of the characterisation of the 1980s series Cagney & Lacey. Sandra Oh as Eve Polastri was soon annoying me. It's not for me!Comment

... I am enjoying this enormously. I see that Hugo Rifkind in The Times is a fan too - "Killing Eve has already had a lot of praise and deserves all of it. ....What makes it so good, though, is Waller-Bridge’s instinctive feel for a very human sort of comedy. Agents and enemies alike embarrass themselves, get irritated by the wrong things, fancy each other and never pass up an opportunity for a gag, even amid an overall vibe of tension, fear and occasional sadness."
I think it's a hoot : it has great visual style, and the actress playing Villanelle is a revelation. (I know she was in Dr Foster, but she hardly registered there).Comment

....Yes Jodie Comer is gigglely and coquettish, but coldblooded and decisive....Relationships is the thing - small comedies between Villanelle and manager, Eve and her boss [David Haig, great comedy actor], Eve and husband, Eve and Martens [Fiona Shaw],dialogue and craic....it's a giggle, no doubt more and more inventive ways will be found to kill people/make entry/make escape....and lovely fashions, yes style....and great music (mostly original to my ears)....colourful....I think too it is likely to cleverly swing away from the course we (me) now think it is going....(good ol'Hugo Rifkind [is the d silent])....

OP just fine - I tried to transfer comments about this from the Bodyguard thread but my toolkit does not cover that thread, for some reason. Perhaps ferney?..........sorry about OP....
For the record, I'm sure I recognised the Bucks setting from Midsomer Murders, and commented on the Siberian Chiffchaff password.....Comment

Spurred by this thread, watched the first episode. Hooked! I very much like its style.
Good to see Kim Bodnia from the original "Bridge" too

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

I didn’t think that I was going to like it after the first twenty minutes, but I am enjoying it now.Money can't buy you happiness............but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery - Spike MilliganComment

Going with what others are saying on here, I shall watch Episode 2; but unless I can discover anything to like or care about any of the characters, the irony or "funny" side of this series will have to pass me by.Originally posted by alycidon View PostComment

I heard that - people can listen to it without worrying about spoilers. BUT ... (or, indeed, "butt") if I'd heard this before I'd watched the series, I probably wouldn't've watched the series.Originally posted by eighthobstruction View Post[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

Fleabag was a joy, and Phoebe W.-B.'s performance in it compelling.
