Because if we were, I'm in a bit of trouble with my lamps. I genuinely stood up, went to my TV and stood above it looking down. Like a fucking idiot. Quote

Because if we were, I'm in a bit of trouble with my lamps. I'm assuming she did it because he was doing a shitty job. Then again, she has form for killing young lads out of the blue. Yeah, I struggled to read them as well but you didn't miss much, it was just Kenny's boss telling Eve to bring the phone in. Loved this episode too and the vulnerability Villanelle's showing at the end with Konstantin showing up again and the news that Eve's alive. Just when she thinks she's in control, she's not. Also, Fiona Shaw's acting in this episode was brilliant even by her high standards, especially when she was in the car. Quote
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted April 21, 2020 Awards Moderator Posted April 21, 2020 I’d like to know why Kenny had a picture of himself as his phone background. A loved one, a nice dog, a nice view, yes, but who has their own picture as their background? Quote

Absolutely this. One of the best TV face turns I've seen, and all through the subtle lowering of her eyelids. Quote

When she's walking with Kenny's girlfriend and she stops for a second to emphasise that she could be hard on him. My heart! An absolute masterclass. Quote
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted April 21, 2020 Paid Members Posted April 21, 2020 Also putting away that 2nd whiskey in her kitchen. The little shaking in her hands and twitch in her mouth, pulling the curtain back on herself, while trying to maintain some semblance of her tough exterior in front of Eve. What an absolutely wonderful episode, all around. Off topic on Shaw ; We'd only just put the three episodes of Mrs.Wilson away on Sunday night, and she was absolutely incredible in that also. Quote
Wideload90 Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Slightly underwhelmed by series 3 so far but I'm confident it will pick up. Fiona Shaw is phenomenal. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted April 27, 2020 Members Posted April 27, 2020 Episode 3 of the new series was probably the worst episode of this show there has ever been, and there is a real danger this is going to peter out into a shit series, which would be a shame. It exposed all the worst things about the show when it's not going well, and only Fiona Shaw saved it, as usual. The dialogue in particular was absolutely dreadful. Quote
wordsfromlee Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 More dreadful than Villanelle's trainer's Russian accent? Quote
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted May 11, 2020 Awards Moderator Posted May 11, 2020 This week’s episode is really good, a proper showcase for Jodie Comer who is superb throughout. Quote
wordsfromlee Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 I think this season is dire. It's so fucking boring. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted May 11, 2020 Members Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) Completely agree. The thrill was in the chase. But then once said chase had finished (it had to), the rest was just another average show. All the main players are still great in their performances, but this is now a bit of a chore. Shame. Edit: fucking phone. Edited May 11, 2020 by SuperBacon Quote

Agreed. Because she's always been the showier of the two leads, I think her acting get slightly overlooked against Sandra Oh's more grounded character. But here she was superb, and it was superbly written for her. At some point they were going to have to delve into her family and background but I think what was clever about this episode, which is probably my favourite of this series so far, was that it's clearly going to spark a change in Villanelle. Not just a case of 'let's have an episode just about her family'. It's great stuff. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted May 24, 2020 Members Posted May 24, 2020 This is utter, utter shit now. I can't remember a show that nosedived so hard in just the 3rd series. Jodie Comer is holding this together. She deserves better than this boring mess. Quote
