1. ›Anteprima - Nella Mente di Un Serialfiller - Killing Eve primi 2 episodi@serialfiller1560d

   Come di consueto oggi vi porto dentro una nuova Anteprima di un articolo (è il momento di Killing Eve 4)che fra qualche giorno o settimana vedrete Nella Mente di un SerialFiller, il mio blog interamente incentrato sul mondo delle serie tv e di cui, da qualche mese, ho deciso di regalarvi costantemente, in anticipo su quello che pubblicherò, gran parte dei post che vedrete su www.serialfiller.org. Si tratta di killing eve e della sua quarta stagione che potremo vedere in Italia in diretta su Tim Vision e di cui oggi vi parlo in anteprima e limitatamente ai primi 2 deliziosi episodi. Sotto con la preview!

   Devo ammettere che non mi sarei aspettato che la nuova stagione cominciasse cosi. Eve e Villanelle completamente separate e distanti, provano a cambiare strada. Entrambe queste affermazioni, però, saranno smentite dai fatti entro poche decine di minuti. Eve non ha più il suo lavoro, Eve è a caccia dei Dodici nonostante nelle sue mani abbia solo armi spuntate. Il personaggio di Sandra Oh, in questa fase iniziale sembra una variabile impazzita, una pedina che sulla scacchiera si muove con una dissennatezza che il personaggio aveva fatto intravedere nelle scorse stagioni ma mai con cosi tanta assenza di pudore e di freni. Eve Polastri sembra un candelotto di dinamite con la miccia accesa ed in costante movimento. Solo una tempesta, solo il forte vento potrà spegnerla. Quel soffio impetuoso sarà proprio Villanelle? Ma non avevo detto che i 2 personaggi ci sono apparsi distanti in questo avvio? Si, l'ho detto. Lo sono fisicamente ma di sicuro non emotivamente. Sembrano ancora legate, ancora ossessionate ma questa volta il peso ha sbilanciato la bilancia dalla parte opposta. Se nelle prime stagioni era Villanelle a rappresentare l'ossessione di Eve, quest'anno sembra avvenire il contrario. La sicaria russa ci viene presentata come una donna in cerca di pace, in cerca di una nuova vita, in cerca di opposte abitudini e sensazioni rispetto alla persona glaciale, schizzata e pirotecnica che abbiamo conosciuto. E quale location migliore di una Chiesa per intraprendere questo cammino? Quale raffigurazione migliore se non quella di un battesimo per affermarne la rinascita? Oksana è in clausura, vogliosa di essere affermata a Cristo, di bagnare il proprio capo e lavare via ogni peccato nella speranza di risorgere dai propri peccati. Sarà una vera voglia di fare ammenda e ricominciare una nuova vita? La risposta ci verrà data prepotentemente nel secondo episodio ed è li che capiremo quanto Eve sia entrata sotto pelle alla bella Villanelle. Lo show è tornato più in forma che mai ma con qualche appunto che per adesso non voglio mettere sul registro. Diventerà una nota di merito o di demerito? Solo i prossimi episodi ce lo sveleranno. Per adesso mi sento di dire solo: Bentornate!

   Come sempre vi aspetto su www.serialfiller.org. Mi raccomando, se siete anche voi dei serialfiller iscrivetevi e passate parola in modo che questa piccola community diventi sempre più vasta! Vi aspetto anche sui social (telegram compreso) Grazie dell'attenzione!

   As usual today I bring you a new Preview of an article (it's time for Killing Eve 4) that in a few days or weeks you will see in the Mind of a SerialFiller, my blog entirely focused on the world of TV series and of which, for some months, I decided to give you constantly, in advance of what I will publish, most of the posts you will see on www.serialfiller.org. It's about killing eve and its fourth season that we will be able to see in Italy live on Tim Vision and of which today I speak to you in preview and limited to the first 2 delicious episodes. Below with the preview!

   I must admit that I did not expect the new season to start like this. Eve and Villanelle completely separate and apart, try to change their ways. Both of these claims, however, will be belied by the facts within a few dozen minutes. Eve no longer has her job, Eve is on the hunt for the Twelve despite having only blunt weapons in her hands. Sandra Oh's character, in this initial phase, seems to be a variable gone mad, a pawn that moves on the chessboard with a nonsense that the character had glimpsed in previous seasons but never with so much lack of modesty and brakes. Eve Polastri looks like a stick of dynamite with the fuse lit and in constant motion. Only a storm, only the strong wind can extinguish it. Will that impetuous wind be Villanelle? But didn't I say that the 2 characters appeared distant in this startup? Yes, I did. They are physically but certainly not emotionally. They still seem connected, still obsessed but this time the weight has tipped the scales on the opposite side. If in the first seasons it was Villanelle who represented Eve's obsession, this year the opposite seems to happen. The Russian hitwoman is presented to us as a woman in search of peace, in search of a new life, in search of opposite habits and feelings than the glacial, sketchy and pyrotechnic person we have known. And what better location than a church to embark on this journey? What better depiction than that of a baptism to affirm her rebirth? Oksana is in seclusion, wanting to be affirmed to Christ, to bathe her head and wash away all sin in hopes of rising from her sins. Will it be a true desire to make amends and begin a new life? The answer will be powerfully given to us in the second episode and it is there that we will understand how much Eve has gotten under the skin of the beautiful Villanelle. The show is back in better shape than ever but with some notes that for now I do not want to put on the register. Will it become a note of merit or demerit? Only the next few episodes will reveal that to us. For now I can only say: Welcome back!

   As always, I look forward to seeing you on www.serialfiller.org. I recommend, if you are serialfillers too, sign up and spread the word so that this small community will become larger and larger! I'll wait for you also on social networks (telegram included) Thanks for your attention!

2. ›Killing Eve: Season 1, Episode 1-4 Review@wolfofnostreet1816d

   Killing Eve is an electrifying, award-winning, spy thriller series starring two female leads, Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer. They play Eve Polastri and Villanelle respectively, who have a cat and mouse, love-hate relationship throughout the series. Since its premiere in April 2018, it's been on for three seasons with a fourth and final season said to premiere in 2022.

   Source

   The series is based on a compilation of e-book novellas by Luke Jennings called Codename Villanelle. The series is big on femme power as each of the four seasons has a female head writer. Having two females as lead characters for such roles is unusual but also unique, and from the four episodes I've seen so far, I can say the leads delivered excellently.

   Source

   Eve Polastri is a British intelligence investigator who is fascinated by female assassins and their methods. In the first episode of the series pilot, she links a recent assassination to a series of similar high-profile killings that she had been researching.

   On her visit to the hospital where the only witness was admitted, she goes to the restroom where she is met by Villanelle dressed as a nurse who compliments her hair. Eve goes back to the witness' hospital room only to find the witness, a nurse, and guards murdered.

   Her unauthorized involvement with this case gets her and her partner fired by the MI5. The Russian section of the MI6 soon after hires Eve to track the killer, having been impressed by her theories about the killer.

   In the second episode, Villanelle is cautioned by Konstantin and informs her a British investigator by the name of Eve is on to her. Villanelle kills yet another high-profile individual, a successful parfumier in Paris.

   Eve realizes the nurse she met at the hospital bathroom is actually the killer and she traces her down to Berlin with her partner Bill in the third episode. Bill notices Eve is being followed by Villanelle and he blocks her from getting on the same train with Eve. Thereafter, he follows Villanelle closely in the streets.

   Bill continues trailing her while he calls Eve to meet him up. The trail leads him to a crowded nightclub where Villanelle eventually looks at him straight in the eyes, letting him know she had been aware of the trail. She stabs him repeatedly in the midst of unaware dancers just before Eve could get to Bill.

   In episode four, Villanelle's superior makes her work with two other assassins as a form of punishment. Their target is Frank, Eve's former boss at the MI5 who got her and late Bill fired. Eve on the other hand together with Elena was trailing Frank after finding out he's a mole at the MI5.

   The three assassins go looking for Frank at his home where he manages to escape and they go after him. Eve who's also on Frank's trail realizes it is Villanelle who's after him and tries to get him away from the assassins.

   Villanelle makes Nadia, one of the assassins who is clearly in love with her, kill the other, Diego who is a control freak. Villanelle then promises to change for Nadia, and it is obvious the two used to be lovers. She then runs Nadia over with a car. She sees Frank running off in the distance and goes after him, meeting Eve again as she tries to save Frank.

   My Thoughts

   The obsession between the two women is amazing to watch. They both seem to be fascinated with each other and I can't tell if they want to kill each other, share a moment like old friends or maybe have sex with each other. I think there might be sexual chemistry between these two even when it isn't physical.

   Each woman is fascinated by the other and the events leading to their meet-up are filled with turns and suspense. The show has undertones of queerness, Villanelle being bisexual, admiring Eve at the hospital bathroom and even sending her expensive clothes as if teasing her.

   They seem to mirror each other only one is a psychopathic killer and the other an investigator. They both have tasks to fufill but their obsession to kill each other or whatever it is they want to do with themselves might come in the way.

   I've enjoyed each episode and Villanelle's precise killings will have your lady parts screaming. Although the murder at the nightclub was just crazy. What type of possessed dance would make people not realize a murder was happening right beside them? Why couldn't Bill run through the crowd but Villanelle could? I know she's a psychopath assassin but Bill was an intelligence agent.

   Eve now has a couple of scores to settle with Villanelle after her partner was murdered by her and also her witness. I'd love to see how she intends to kill this psychopath 'with her bare hands' as she said in episode four.

   Villanelle is interesting to watch and I look forward to her next kill and what she intends to do to Eve in the next episode.

3. ›Killing Eve - 1era Temporada | ¿Qué carajos estoy viendo?@jauregui982141d

   

   

   Hace poco descargué la serie pero no la había visto, sabía que era de asesinatos y cosas así, pero no me animé a verla, algo me detenía de hacerlo. Lamento no haber comenzado a verla antes.

   El viernes fui a visitar a @laloretoyya y aproveché de llevar los capítulos porque justamente ella fue la que me dijo que los descargara porque los quería ver, desde hace tiempo queriendo hacerlo y no había podido.

   ¡Yo no sé qué cosa estaba viendo! Eso era giro en la trama tras giro en la trama, asesinatos por doquier, sonrisas de locura, sangre por aquí y por allá. No sabía si tenía miedo o tenía ganas (laughs in spanish).

   Hay demasiado por decir de esta serie, pero solo les voy a hablar de la primera temporada que fue la única que logramos ver este fin de semana, nos quedan dos temporadas aún en espera y la verdad no sé si ya están trabajando o van a trabajar en una cuarta temporada, o ya está confirmada o no la cuarta temporada.

   

   

   

   ¡Las actuaciones son una divinura! No sé quién lo hace mejor, si la loca asesina, o la loca investigadora, o los locos que también investigan con ella, en fin, todos están locos ahí, no importar si su papel es grande o pequeño, cada uno cumple la función para la cual fue creado.

   IMDb le da un 8.3 de 10, y es más que justo y necesario. No solo las actuaciones, ni la fotografía, ni el soundtrack, y no sé, ni siquiera los cepillos de dientes que salen ahí son malos (información no confiable sobre los cepillos de dientes).

   ¡Tienen que verla! Demasiadas emociones encontradas, esta primera temporada fue demasiado exquisita. La locura no hizo falta, amé a la protagonista y a la antagonista, ambas están desquiciadas y se complementan perfectamente. La química entre el gato y el ratón es tan perfecta, que no se sabe realmente quién persigue y es perseguido.

4. ›Killing Eve – Season 3 Review@readingdanvers2175d

   

   This was a pretty good season, just not as good as the previous one. Each season has a different showrunner and it shows. Because the first season was the best and it is slowly deteriorating. Plus, they all feel very different. It also feels like the show isn't going in a particular direction,they are not sure what their endgame is, but it is a fun ride. I binged the entire season in one day.

   The season picks up a few weeks after the previous season finale. Eve (Sandra Oh) is officially out of MI6 and now works in her relative's restaurant and recovering from her injury. Villanelle (Jodie Comer) is on her own and trying to get a life outside of the Twelve. Carolyn (Fiona Shaw) is still working for MI6 and her son Kenny (Sean Delaney) is now working for a newspaper. This is where they all are at the beginning of episode 1. Then everything escalates pretty quickly as The Twelve take a more central role in the plot. Which is not good because they are the most boring part of the plot. No one cares about some secret organization. We care about people.

   By far the best character of the season was Carolyn. Not only does Shaw do a great job portraying the character, who is cold, brilliant and a bit eccentric, but her character has the best character development in this season I think. Only because of her cold nature, you really have to play close attention to catch the little details. Also, she has the best plotline. Eve is totally her supporting character and her plotline is the lease interesting one of the season. Even the new character, Dasha, has a better plotline. Plus as the character the show is named after, Eve has the least amount of screen time in this season from the main trio. Comer is still brilliant as the eccentric Villanelle. Only her plotline is a little bit all over the place. But still, she makes the most out of what she has. I still love all of the characters.

Only her plotline is a little bit all over the place. But still, she makes the most out of what she has. I still love all of the characters.

   The show looks great. I have to say that I laughed so much when I saw Konstantin and his Russian friend drinking from crystal glasses. The same kind of glasses that my parents have and most Russian and/or East European households still have. From some reason crystal dishes were super popular and everyone still has them. Plus the plastic dishes with the terrible painted decoration, is totally still a thing. Every time I visit East Europe I am surprised by it. So I feel that it is all authentic. But Harriet Walter Russian is terrible. Even me, who can barely speak the language, can hear that it just sounds bad. On the plus side the locations are pretty excellent. The last scene of the season just looks spectacular. Every aspect, from the actors' placement to the location, just looks stunning. The styling on this show is still perfect as well. Each character looks unique and mostly stylish, if not then it is on purpose. Mostly, the show has really high production values and it looks great most of the time. Accent and language is where most shows fall and this is no exception.

   So yeah, it's not a good as the previous season, but if you enjoyed the previous season, you'll probably enjoy this one as well.

5. ›Killing Eve: End of Game@serialfiller2229d

   

   

   With only a few episodes to go before the end of a brilliant third season, Killing Eve probably makes the first false step. Let's talk about the unveiling of the bloody cliffangher in episode 4. After waiting for 2 episodes, thanks also to an excellent interlude on Villanelle in episode 5, we were curious to understand how Eve would react to her husband's murder. ....... ............ .............. That's.............................................

   If you bet everything on this then you can't reveal to us that well ... despite a blow more than mortal, inflicted by an infallible serial killer, you can't make that character live. It's frankly unforgivable and it's not, especially since Killing Eve, a TV series that has always surprised for its ability to dare. In this case he didn't. Little disappointment that depower what has been and leaves with the handbrake pulled for the rest of the things that are narrated in this episode. To frame, to decipher are many things, various things that happen. Villanelle on the breaking point. Constantine on the breaking point. MI6 triple play. Eve and Villanelle who practically travel in time space between Russia, Romania, Spain, UK with an excessive ease. First episode really not very brilliant in terms of writing this season, and it's a shame.

   

   A pochissimi episodi dal termine di una brillante terza stagione, Killing Eve commette probabilmente il primo passo falso. Parliamo dello svelamento del cliffangher sanguinolento dell'episodio 4. Dopo aver atteso per 2 episodi, grazie anche ad un ottimo intermezzo su Villanelle nell'episodio 5, eravamo curiosi di capire come avrebbe reagito Eve di fronte all'omicidio del marito. ....... ............ .............. Ecco...

   Se punti tutto su questo poi non puoi svelarci che beh...nonostante un colpo più che mortale, inferto da una serial killer infallibile, non puoi far vivere quel personaggio. E' francamente imperdonabile e non è, soprattutto da Killing Eve, una serie tv che ha sempre sorpreso per la sua capacità di osare. In questo caso non lo ha fatto. Piccola delusione che depotenzia quello che è stato e lascia con il freno a mano tirato per il resto delle cose che vengono narrate in questo episodio. Da inquadrare, da decifrare sono tante cose, varie cose che accadono. Villanelle sul punto di rottura. Costantine sul punto di rottura. MI6 triplogiochista. Eve e Villanelle che praticamente viaggiano nello spazio tempo fra Russia, Romania, Spagna, UK con una disinvoltura eccessiva. Primo episodio davvero poco brillante a livello di scrittura in questa stagione, ed è un peccato.

6. ›Killing Eve: are you from pinner?@serialfiller2235d

   

   

   Advance, continues to advance relentlessly the fifth season of Killing Eve. As often happens, you have to go back to go forward at best. Even if your name is Villanelle, pardon Oksana, even if you are an irrecoverable psychopath, even if you are a serial killer. The authors decide not to show Eve in this episode and above all they decide to give breath to that storyline after the events of the last episode. So they build an episode Villanelle centric, with Oksana who lands in Mother Russia and finally manages to meet what remains of her family, her mother and brother as well as other acquired relatives. It's hard to say what he expected to meet Oksana but it's easy to guess how such an event could on the one hand unblock the trauma of a lost childhood but on the other hand consolidate it further. And here comes an episode very smooth and for the most part absolutely quiet, sunny, almost introspective and very funny. From the little guy who loves Elton John and would like to be present at his farewell tour until you get to a boy who believes that the earth is flat passing in general through a series of characters who have as a common thread the fear and respect towards Villanelle's mother. It will be the confrontation between the 2 to close the episode that will be sealed by a bang, by deaths, by the usual trail of blood that Villanelle is used to leave behind. Villanelle's frightened, disconsolate, confused and damned lost face is the last ruthless frame that is delivered to us, leaving us all with an obvious upset and with the awareness that from now on things could go even more wrong than they have done so far.

   

   

   Avanza, continua ad avanzare inesorabile la quinta stagione di Killing Eve. Come spesso accade, bisogna tornare indietro per andare avanti al meglio. Anche se ti chiami Villanelle, pardon Oksana, anche se sei uno psicopatico irrecuperabile, anche se sei un serial killer. Gli autori decidono di non mostrare Eve in questo episodio e soprattutto decidono di dare fiato a quella storyline dopo gli eventi dell'episodio scorso. Costruiscono dunque un episodio Villanelle centrico, con Oksana che approda in Mother Russia e finalmente riesce ad incontrare quel che resta della sua famiglia, la madre e il fratello oltre ad altri parenti acquisiti. Difficile dire cosa si aspettasse di incontrare Oksana ma facile intuire come un evento del genere potesse da un lato sbloccare il trauma di un'infanzia perduta ma dall'altro consolidarlo ulteriormente. Ed ecco che nasce un episodio molto scorrevvole e per gran parte assolutamente tranquillo, solare, quasi introspettivo e molto divertente. Dal piccoletto che adora Elton John e vorrebbe essere presente al suo farewell tour fino ad arrivare ad un ragazzo che crede che la terra sia piatta passando in generale per una serie di personaggi che hanno come filo conduttore la paura ed il rispetto verso la madre di Villanelle. Sarà il confronto tra i 2 a chiudere la puntata che sarà suggellata da un botto, da delle morti, dalla solita scia di sangue che Villanelle è solita lasciarsi alle spalle. Il volto impaurito, sconsolato, confuso e dannatamente perso di Villanelle è l'ultimo spietato fotogramma che ci viene consegnato, lasciandoci tutti con un turbamento evidente e con la consapevolezza che di qui in avanti le cose potrebbero andare ancora più a rotoli di quanto non siano andate sinora.

7. ›Killing Eve: Still Got It@serialfiller2241d

   

   

   

   By the fourth episode Killing Eve seems to have nothing more to prove. She has raised the stakes since the first episode. 2 excellent deaths, how else to call the murders of 2 regular series, if not top-notch? Another important character almost died. Villanelle and Eve dangerously in contact for a minute. The fourth episode of Killing Eve is atypical from the beginning, with the substitution of the writings with personal names and not city names. 10 minutes each for Carolyn, Eve, Jonas and Dasha. 10 minutes to frame the evolution of the situation of each of them to bring the 4 storylines together in the bloody and shocking finale. One of the bloodiest and probably unexpected deaths in recent serial years. As always original in staging an unorthodox and effective killing. As always impeccable in the construction of the pathos and the detonation of a bomb that inevitably changes everything. Eve will no longer have any reason to be "faithful" to Villanelle. The latter will no longer have any reason to feel herself master of her destiny. In the middle of this sentimental drama in red sauce there are always very special characters, grotesque and pungent, as well as this extraordinary series.

   

   Arrivati al quarto episodio Killing Eve sembra non aver più nulla da dimostrare. Ha alzato la posta in gioco sin dal primo episodio. 2 morti eccellenti, come chiamare altrimenti gli omicidi di 2 series regular, seppur non di primissimo piano? Un altro personaggio importante quasi morto. Villanelle ed Eve pericolosamente a contatto seppur per un minuto. Il quarto episodio di Killing Eve è atipico sin dall'inizio, con la sostituzione delle scritte con nomi di persona e non nomi di città. 10 minuti a testa per Carolyn, Eve, Jonas e Dasha. 10 minuti per inquadrare l'evolversi della situazione di ognuno di loro per fare confluire le 4 storyline nel sanguinoso e scioccante finale. Una delle morti più cruente e probabilmente inattese degli ultimi anni seriali. Come sempre originale nel mettere in scena un'uccisione poco ortodossa ed efficace. Come sempre impeccabile nella costruzione del pathos e nella detonazione di una bomba che inevitabilmente cambia tutto. Eve non avrà più alcun motivo per essere "fedele" a Villanelle. Quest'ultima non avrà più alcun motivo per sentirsi padrona del suo destino. Nel mezzo di questo dramma sentimentale in salsa rossa ci sono personaggi sempre particolarissimi, grotteschi e pungenti, cosi come questa straordinaria serie.

8. ›Killing Eve: 3x03 Meetings Have Biscuits@serialfiller2250d

   

   

   Fingers crossed but... it would seem that Killing Eve has decided to give us a sensational season. After an excellent first vintage, a second good one followed, at times excellent but not at the level of the first. The third season seems to be even better than the first. The dialogues are sensational, the story is full of intrigue, the characters are sublimely developed, the actors in dazzling form. Nothing better than enjoying the show. After the events of the second season, here we are at the new point of contact between Eve and Villanelle. Their obsession leads them to continually attract each other, despite everything. Villanelle would like to forget Eve. Eve would like to remember Vilanelle. Both of them, rationally they would like to "kill" the memory and the presence of the other. In the meantime the investigation goes on and the turning point seems close, very close but.... Turning point. A decisive moment and turned beautifully. But there's another unforgettable moment. Blasphemous, violent yet beautiful.

   Villanelle and the little girl.

   Villanelle, the maid and the little girl. Villanelle, Dasha and the girl.

   How many other authors would have had the courage to think, write and shoot those scenes?

   Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

   

   Incrociamo le dita ma....sembrerebbe che Killing Eve abbia deciso di regalarci una stagione sensazionale. Dopo una prima annata eccellente, era seguita una seconda annata buona, a tratti ottima ma non ai livelli della prima. La terza stagione sembra essere addirittura migliore della prima. I dialoghi sono clamorosi, la storia fitta di intrighi, i personaggi sublimemente sviluppati, gli attori in forma smagliante. Nulla di meglio che godersi lo spettacolo. Dopo gli eventi della seconda stagione eccoci arrivati al nuovo punto di contatto fra Eve e Villanelle. La loro ossessione le porta ad attrarsi continuamente, nonostante tutto. Villanelle vorrebbe dimenticare Eve. Eve vorrebbe ricordare Vilanelle. Entrambe, razionalmente vorrebbero dunque "uccidere" il ricordo e la presenza dell'altra. Intanto le indagini vanno avanti e la svolta sembra vicina, vicinissima ma poi.... Colpo di scena. Un momento decisivo e girato stupendamente. Ma c'è un'altra scenda indimenticabile. Blasfema, violenta eppure bellisima.

   Villanelle e la bambina.

   Villanelle, la colf e la bambina. Villanelle, Dasha e la bambina.

   Quanti altri autori avrebbero avuto il coraggio di pensare, scrivere e girare quelle scene?

9. ›Killing Eve: 3x02 - Management Sucks@serialfiller2251d

   

   

   Vilanelle at the management test? How will it end? As always the authors manage to make a situation like this grotesque. A psychopathic killer intent on "training" a young resource. The reference to on-the-job training in companies all over the world is evident, and how incredibly successful. The interactions involving Villanelle are always exhilarating and sparkling. Jodie Comer seems to have been born to play this role. Always over the top but never really over the top. In fact, her character always seems authentic, always stunning but in part. It will end badly, of course. But it'll be good for something. To the viewer to enjoy large fragments of the episode. To the plot to advance. To the character to grow, to develop. In the meantime Eve has to live with what happened to Kenny and in a very surreal way will manage to involve Carolyn in what promises to be a complex and desperate investigation.

   Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

   

   Vilanelle alla prova della gestione? Come andrà a finire? Come sempre gli autori riescono a rendere grottesca una situazione come questa. Un'assassina psicopatica intenta a dover "formare" una giovane risorsa. Il rimando ai training on the job nelle aziende di tutto il mondo è evidente e quanto mai azzeccato, quanto mai incredibilmente riuscito. Le interazioni che coinvolgono Villanelle sono sempre esilaranti e frizzanti. Jodie Comer sembra essere nata per interpretare questo ruolo. Sempre sopra la righe ma mai davvero sopra le righe. Il suo personaggio sembra infatti sempre autentico, sempre sbalorditivo ma in parte. Finirà male, ovviamente. Ma sarà servito a qualcosa. Allo spettatore per godere di grandi frammenti di episodio. Alla trama per avanzare. Al personaggio per crescere, svilupparsi. Nel frattempo Eve deve convivere con quanto accaduto a Kenny e in maniera molto surreale riuscirà a coinvolgere Carolyn in quella che si preannuncia un'indagine complessa e disperata.

11. ›Killing Eve is back: 3x01 impressions@serialfiller2252d

    

    

    Phoebe Waller - Bridge. For 3 years I've been asking you to write this name down. Today she's a celebrity. A staple of seriality or rather of world authorship. Her face and signature behind the jewel of jewels (Fleabag), her pen behind the now acclaimed Killing Eve. And here she is back Eve, alive and well after the cliffangher that had concluded the second season. She comes back alive and well despite Villanelle's shooting. She is and will remain the only reason to regret the development of the screenplay. A ruthless and infallible killer like Villanelle could really miss the target and not finish the job? Or is there something else? We'll find out. What's certain is that the start of the third season seems light years away from wanting to slow down, from wanting to move away from the climate that had marked the first two seasons. On the contrary. After having "deceived" us with a slow and compressed start, at the end of the episode the coup de grace starts, the one you don't expect and everything upsets and everything starts again. A cliffangher perhaps even more powerful than the past ones, because it involves a marginal character for us spectators but fundamental for the life and psyche, already strongly hovering, of Eve. A cliffangher that casts strong shadows and thick mystery on what happened and obviously enormous curiosity about the future.

    

    Phoebe Waller - Bridge. Da 3 anni vi chiedo di appuntare questo nome. Oggi è una celebrità. Un punto fermo della serialità o meglio dell'autorialità mondiale. Suo il volto e la firma dietro il gioiellino dei gioellini (Fleabag), sua la penna dietro l'oramai acclamatissimo Killing Eve. Ed eccola che torna Eve, viva e vegeta dopo il cliffangher che aveva concluso la seconda stagione. Torna viva e vegeta nonostante lo sparo di Villanelle. E' e resterà l'unico motivo di rammarico a livello di sviluppo della sceneggiatura. Una killer spietata e infallibile come Villanelle ha davvero potuto mancare il bersaglio e non finire il lavoro? O c'è dell'altro? Lo scopriremo. Certo è che l'inizio della terza stagione sembra lontano anni luce dal voler rallentare, dal volerci allontanare dal clima che aveva contraddistinto le prime 2 stagioni. Anzi. Dopo averci "ingannato" con un avvio lento e compassato, ecco che a fine episodio parte il colpo di grazia, quello che non ti aspetti e che tutto sconvolge e tutto rimette in moto. Un cliffangher forse ancora più potente di quelli passati, perchè coinvolge un personaggio marginale per noi spettatori ma fondamentale per la vita e la psiche, già fortemente in bilico, di Eve. Un cliffangher che getta ombre forti e mistero fitto su quanto avvenuto e ovviamente enorme curiosità sul futuro.

12. ›Killing Eve 2: waiting the 3rd season@serialfiller2258d

    

    

    The year 2018 was a great year for seriality. Many new series of the highest level among which stood out the flight "Killing Eve" series designed by Phoebe Waller Bridge with protagonists Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer.

    To trivialize and categorize according to predefined styles and patterns we could identify the series as a spy story. Categorization very very lax considering the nuances and the mix of genres that Waller Bridge (creator of that Fleabag's jewel) gave birth to.

    At the center a spy story that was and has always been functional to the story of the relationship between the 2 protagonists, a relationship that we could define sick and ambiguous between prey and hunter, between law and outlaw, between cop and thief, between light and shadow.

    The second season focused much less on action, without ever denying great thriller and action moments, and much more on the relationship between Villanelle and Eve.

    For a product so smoky, so amorphous, so indecipherable it was difficult to repeat at certain levels. Killing Eve obviously succeeded.

    8 dense episodes, very full of unexpected twists and turns and a constant warning on the danger of an approach between 2. A literal atomic bomb ready to explode at any time.

    Eve has gradually lost all her certainties. Did she do it because she was attracted by Villanelle or because of Villanelle? Eve has moved away from her affections because she is unconsciously pushed towards Villanelle or because her "professional" obsession with the serial killer has prevented her from keeping her oaths and promises in the personal sphere.

    The series is enriched by the nuances of Eve Polastri as well as those of Villanelle. She can play on their faces, microexpressions and unspoken thanks to the skill of the 2 actresses.

    The poles of the magnet attract, repel each other, still attract and repel each other. They touch each other without ever touching except to hurt themselves, to hurt themselves like blades between splatter moments like Rodriguez and grotesque tensions like Coen. Very black humor mixed with very British gags, psychological insights mixed with absurd and never banal characters.

    The veins and colours of Killing Eve make it unique and inimitable and difficult to tell, just like Fleabag.

    The ending is surprising. It beats and brings us back to the third season. It keeps us breathless as it did for some final seasons of Lost or Breaking Bad, with all due respect. The level is confirmed high, very high and this is the biggest victory for a product that started without expectations and ended up becoming to date a top 10 series among those on the air.

    

    L'anno 2018 è stato un grande anno per la serialità. Tantissime nuove serie di altissimo livello fra le quali ha spiccato il volo "Killing Eve" serie ideata da Phoebe Waller Bridge con protagoniste Sandra Oh e Jodie Comer.

    Per banalizzare e categorizzare secondo stilemmi e schemi predefiniti potremmo identificare la serie come una spy story. Categorizzazione molto molto lassa considerando le sfumature e la commistione di generi che la Waller Bridge (ideatrice di quel gioiello di Fleabag) ha partorito.

    Al centro una spy story che era ed è sempre stata funzionale al racconto del rapporto fra le 2 protagoniste, un rapporto che potremmo definire malato e ambiguo fra preda e cacciatore, fra legge e fuorilegge, fra poliziotto e ladro, fra luce e ombra.

    La seconda stagione si è concentrata molto meno sull'azione, senza mai negare grandi momenti thriller e action, e molto più sul rapporto fra Villanelle ed Eve.

    Per un prodotto cosi fumoso, cosi amorfo, cosi indecifrabile era difficile ripetersi a certi livelli. Killing Eve ovviamente ci è riuscita.

    8 episodi densi, molto ricchi di colpi di scena e ribaltamenti inattesi ed un monito costante sulla pericolosità di un avvicinamento fra le 2. Una letterale bomba atomica pronta ad esplodere in ogni momento.

    Eve ha via via perso tutte le sue certezze. Lo ha fatto perchè attratta da Villanelle o a causa di Villanelle? Eve si allontana dagli affetti perchè inconsciamente spinta verso Villanelle o perchè l'ossessione "professionale" verso la serial killer le ha impedito di mantenere fede ai propri giuramenti e promesse nella sfera personale.

    La serie si arricchisce delle sfumature di Eve Polastri oltre che di quelle di Villanelle. Può giocare sui loro volti, microespressioni e non detti anche grazie alla bravura delle 2 attrici.

    I poli della calamita si attraggono, si respingono, si attragono ancora e si respingono ancora. Si sfiorano senza toccarsi mai se non per farsi del male, per ferirsi come lame tra momenti splatter alla Rodriguez e tensioni grottesche alla Coen. Humor nerissimo mescolato a gag molto british, approfondimenti psicologici mescolati a personaggi assurdi e mai banali.

    Le venature e i colori di Killing Eve la rendono unica e inimitabile e difficile da raccontare, proprio come Fleabag.

    Il finale sorprende. Spiazza e ci rimanda alla terza stagione. Ci tiene col fiato sospeso come accadde per alcuni season finale di Lost o Breaking Bad, con il dovuto rispetto. Il livello si conferma alto, altissimo e questa è la vittoria più grande per un prodotto partito senza aspettative e finito per diventare ad oggi una serie da top 10 fra quelle in onda.

13. ›Killing Eve Season 2 – Spoiler Free Review@readingdanvers2280d

    

    This season was so good! I am not sure how I feel about the ending, but wow what I show in general. It's just 8 episodes per season so I watched this season in a day and a half. It's not a problem when the recommendation is to stay indoors.

    While the previous season focused on the relationship and the obsession developing between Eve Polastri (played by Sandra Oh) and Villanelle (played by Jodie Comer), this season is all about twists and turns in the plot.

    Man the plot is just freaking amazing. Sure, there were more than a few surprises during the last season, but in this season turned it up to eleven. Almost every episode ended with a mouth drop. Like wow. This is more than just some backstabbing, this is some crazy stuff.

    Also the character development for Polastri was also surprising and astonishing. When I think about where she started the show vs. her in the finale episode, it is mindboggling. It was so much fun and interesting to watch.

    You can tell that everyone on the show just loves what they are doing and I loved watching it.

    Why is season 3 not out yet?

14. ›Killing Eve Season 1 – Spoiler Free Review@readingdanvers2283d

    

    Wow this is an amazing show. And totally crazy. The shows follows Eve Polastri (played by Sandra Oh) who works for the government in an investigating role. She discovered that a recent murder that they investigate is actually the work of a serial killer called Villanelle (played by Jodie Comer). Villanelle works for unknown organization. She is a very interesting psychopath.

    Once Villanelle becomes aware that Polastri is investigating her, she begins to take interest in Polastri. Then Polastri gets recruit to an MI6 department whose only objective is to find Villanelle. Making things a lot more intense for the two women. That is where the show gets really crazy. They develop a really really bizarre relationship that the name love-hate relationship doesn't even begin cover. It is much more than that. Obviously it is totally crazy.

    The show is brilliant. All of the characters are great. Each one with their own unique and slightly eccentric traits. The dialogue is great. Even the fake accents work occasionally. The clothe choices are also brilliant, you can tell that a woman is behind the show through all of the little details (Phoebe Waller-Bridge). The song choices are also really brilliant. It feels like a show with a nice budget and brilliant people behind the scenes.

    If are looking for something excellent to binge, I recommend this show. If you like drama, if you like police shows about killers, or just great TV, you will love it.

15. ›Killing Eve - My First thoughts@unbiasedwriter2605d

    I just discovered the BBC America show named Killing Eve. I have read about several BBC shows and also watch several of them lately, but Killing Eve didn't catch my attention at once. But, then I just noticed that the second season recently finished airing on BBC American, and that is why it caught my interest.

    By now, I have watched the first two episodes of Killing Eve in the first season, and since I can watch them on BBC in England as well, that is how I watched the series. But, since Killing Eve is a BBC America production, you cannot watch the second season on BBC in England yet, only on BBC in the USA. But, that requires an expensive cable subscription of some kind, so it is actually quite hard to find a way to watch Killing Eve season 2 online. It cannot be found on Netflix or other streaming services like Amazon Prime either. But, the first season is at least available completely for free on BBC in England, so that is a good place to start, or you can stream it on TV in Australia (online as well).

    But, before you get to season 2, it might be a good idea to start with season 1. I was quite surprised by the first two episodes because I imagined some crazy spy drama with two super spies (or something like that) trying to catch one another. But instead, we meet Eve, a British copper who is a total mess (or if not a total mess, then at least messy). But, after two episodes, I am starting to get the feeling that she is smarter than we all would imagine at first, but she is still not the super smart spy and full of self-confidence like you would expect from a person like that.

    Ps: Killing Eve is created by Phoebe Mary Waller-Bridge, the woman who has also created series like Crashing, and also Fleabag (in which she plays the main character herself)... what a productive and talented woman!

    And then you have her opposite, the assassin she is supposed to catch. Her name is Villanelle and she is played by Jodie Comer. The assassin also has an interesting personality, both crazy, smart, sexy, and with a strange sense of humor. Our spy hero who is trying to catch Villanelle is played by Sandra Oh, an actor I remember from her appearance in Grey's Anatomy many, many years ago!

    To be honest, this definitely looks like a TV series I will continue to watch. It has been kind of hard to grasp so far, but it has a humor to it, while it is interesting, and at the same time exciting and with some real action to it. But, it isn't really for kids, because the way in which our assassin kills an older man in the second episode was just brutal (and you get to see it quite clearly as well). I don't like that stuff so I looked away... (just as a little warning from me).

    If you are interested in Killing Eve, give it a try by streaming it on BBC iPlayer or somewhere else on the net. It is interesting, and it is kind of different since the ladies are all in the focus (as they often are when Phoebe Waller-Bridge is the director).

    Have you seen Killing Eve? How did you like the show? Have you seen the second season as well? I would love to hear your thoughts and your comments on the series!

    Գեղեցիկ եւ արտառոց դերերում, երկու հիմնական հերոսները հստակորեն դուրս են գալիս սովորական գեղեցկուհու կերպարից, բայց նրանք խաղում են մեծ: Սեւ հումոր, ծաղրածու կատարման եզրին, հիանալի երաժշտական ​​բովանդակություն միայն նախկինում հաստատված երկրորդ սեզոնը եւ, ինչպես դա եղավ, կազմված ավարտը: Տպավորությունն այնպիսին է, որ սերիան սկսեց նկարահանվել, իսկ ստեղծողները սիրում էին իրենց սերունդներին այնքան, որ նրանք որոշեցին երկարաձգել այն ավելի երկար. Ընդհանրապես, ես հույս ունեմ, որ երկրորդ սեզոնը չի հիասթափեցնի: Սկզբում գնացինք ուրախանալու: Լոնդոն, մեր օրերը: Այստեղ ապրում է Եվա քաղաքում, որը բավականին անհեթեթ կին է, միջին տարիքի, չինացի ծագումով, ծառայելով հակակշիռ: Մի անգամ քննվել է քրեական հոգեբանության եւ, կարծես, զբաղված է իր երազանքի աշխատանքով: Բայց, ցավոք, իրականությունը ստացվեց ձանձրալի: Եվաը փոքրիկ տապակ է, զբաղված է հիմար հոգեւորական աշխատանքով, եւ ոչ ոք նրան լուրջ չի վերաբերվում: Եվ նա գաղտնի կերպով գլխավորում է իր սիրողական փորձաքննությունը տարբեր երկրներում տեղի ունեցած կարեւոր մարդկանց սպանությունների շարքից: Եվ նա տեսնում է նույն մարդասպանի, կնոջ սոցիոպատի հետ կապը: Բայց այս ամենը սեղանի մեջ է, եւ միակ բանը, որը ծածկում է իր ձանձրալի կյանքը, իր ուրախ, համեստ ամուսինը, ուսուցիչն.
