Finally got round to watching all of this on a flight today.
That was ace. Just the right level of wit and danger.
I watched this over the last few days. Excellent. Felt a bit cheated by the ending though.
Definitely a second series though Kryton ...

Do we always need a second series?

On the back of this thread and other reviews, I thought I'd give this a go. Two episodes in and it's all a bit meh tbh, it isn't bad but just don't see anything great about it and I've got other things to watch - do the remaining epsiodes get any better?
Brilliant. Half way through the series. Totally OTT but in a James Bond baddy kind of way not a ridiculous over acting, supposed to be a serious drama kind of way.
I think it depends a bit on whether you like serious drama or a bit of suspend your disbelief and humour chucked in.
I like the cheesey early Bond films and I think it has a hint of those about it in Villanelle's style with a bit of modern twist (and more lethal success than your average Bond baddy). That outrageousness and the almost comic book character of Villanelle (the casual approach, the petulance and total absence of any empathy / guilt).
I'd take this over the Bodyguard any day (takes itself way too seriously imo).
Enjoyed it although agree the ending was a bit meh. It would be pretty average without Jodie Comer's acting though
She lives down the road from me, best try not to annoy her.
Really enjoyed it , well written and great characters . As said by others disappointed by the very end .
Jodie Cromer .....
Was that the end Saturday night????
Yes .
I've got to episode 4, and there's defintiely a shift in tone - episodes 1-3 are fun and sharp, I guess to draw you in; episode 4 felt like a real shift in tone, like "everything's serious now".
The only thing that's annoyed me so far is (in ep4) the use of protagonist naivete as a storytelling device. Like we're expected to believe when someone buys you clothes you don't immediately start to realise you could be in danger, and might need to up your game?!
It was the last episode that did it for me. Felt like it was all over the place tonaly and some truly inexplicable behaviour by some characters. Overall though it was excellent.
Jodie Cromer …..
Does she have crabs?
I did enjoy it but too silly to love it.

There are "special interest" sites that should satisfy you...
Surprisingly written by the same woman as wrote and starred in Fleabag.
I loved it. And I hate James Bond films.
Lol, me too DezB!
Well, that's made my spring.
Halle****inlooyah!
Cheers CFH.

Hope its as good as the first season.

We had to wait a while after the yanks had it last time, hopefully we get it quicker for this series.
I may rewatch the 1st one in anticipation
Cheers for the heads up
<heads for the sky app, to set series link>
PSA, tonight, 9.15.......
Also on iPlayer if you fancy a binge
Errm..... Might not be,🙄
Errm….. Might not be
I think you were right first time. The full Box set is up.
Yeah, didn't go online until the first episode started, and I didn't want to make myself look a complete tit by contradicting my previous contradiction 🙂
New series starts today.
I'm not sure why, but I have my doubts already. I hope I'm wrong.
Can't watch it in real-time. Will have to wait until it's over then binge.
I thought first episode was pretty good. Lots to sort out from the 2nd series, plus a bit of a shock at the end.
Insert dead horse being flogged here.
