I can't believe there's going to be another series of this - where else can the story go?

She trains Konstantin's daughter to become a killer, seems she's already got the mindset. That's a guess, and no doubt wildly off the mark!

It was a really poor series. The ending was dreadful. I don't think they'll be able to film for a while either so they have time at least to try and get the last series hitting the standards of the 1st.

Is the next series the last one? Wouldn't mind it being shortened to 4 high quality episodes with Eve being murdered in the finale.

We've binged this during lockdown (like all three series

). Third series definitely the poorest, but also had some of the best acting. I thought Jodie Comer was absolutely hilarious in the last episode. What a star she is. It felt like Series 3 was going to be the end of it, right until the last moment!

I was convinced one of them was going to jump.

I think it's set up for an interesting fourth season now.

I'm a bit sad they killed me off, though.

Didn't dislike the 3rd season as much as others but jeeeez.. that last episode was just a great big ball of nothingness.

The Kenny story was a complete waste of time. Most of the series was apart from 1 or 2 episodes.

Yep.. It was like they got to the last episode and thought "oh shit, remember that guy who dies in episode 1 which at the time set up the whole premise for the season?! We best reference how that happened!"

I just finished S3 and thought overall it was a shambles. Very disappointing. And can they fuck that 'LOCATION IN MASSIVE CAPITAL LETTERS' shite prefacing each scene off please. Ta.

Agreed, that was pissing me off too. It was subtle in the first series, a bit more in the second and then just on every scene in the third one.

The Europop that was quite cool and original one series one is also now getting a bit annoying.

Thought the second series was really bad so came to check in if I should watch the third. It really is as simple as your last sentence. It's about 50/50 whether I bother

I was disappointed with season 2, but from what I can read over here, season 3 is not even worth the time, is it?

I'd like to think of something to encourage you to watch - it would be fun for you to be caught up so you could whinge about it like the rest of us

- but other than that, I honestly can't think of a single reason. I'll watch it, because I have this condition/compulsion where I just can't stop watching a show once I've started, so I'm fucked, but you might want to pull the plug.

The Bournemouth Red · « **Reply #140 on:** June 15, 2020, 05:04:32 pm »

I think you could probably skip series 2 and 3 and it would have no major impact on the plot.

Thank you lads, you have given me enough discouragement to skip this. I have enough great shows on my watchlist, to be wasting my time on some shite.

One word, shit.

Binged it all over the last few weeks, the seasons got progressively worse as it went on. Eve was annoying and the whole show was carried by Villanelle, with kudos to Constantin who I also thought was great.

I gave season three a miss. Agree with the cast summary but the posh boss woman was irritating as well.

It'll be interesting to see what Jodie Comer comes up with next.

Sadly correct, the first season, probably partly due to its uniqueness was absolutely fantastic, definitely lost its appeal but I imagine I'll stick with it for at least the next season as I struggle to give up once I start a series!

Another one of those shows that would have been hailed as a masterpiece had it been concluded in one series.

Loved the first season, thought the second was good but treaded water and endured the third. Glad it's finishing, and have some hope that knowing this is the end might give them the ability to recapture some of what made it so great.

To be fair, even when it's not been particularly good, Comer is exceptional and always worth watching.

She is, her performances is the only reason to carry on watching. I wish she would do something fresh

Mad how downhill this went from season 1.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #153 on:** February 22, 2022, 01:28:29 pm »

Found the whole idea of them having any kind of relationship utterly ridiculous from the point she murdered Bill in that club. I know Eve is weirdly besotted with her but I struggle to find it plausible that she'd still want to be with her after she brutally stabbed her friend to death.

I mean I know she's presented as the exciting, complicated type but she killed a kid in the first episode of the second series, which was needlessly dark. The whole thing went downhill rapidly after that point. Killing people like Niko's new girlfriend also felt stupidly gratuitous.

Still worth watching for Jodie alone. She's utterly mesmerising.

First series is highly enjoyable, it all goes downhill from series two onwards.

Yeah it takes something special to make me not want to carry on watching a series once it starts off well, but this managed it very easily. Watched the 1st episode of the new season and that was that. Done.
