So Villanelle isnt flat chested but if you rewatch the scene of her coming back to her apartment in Paris, she takes off what looks like a bra. It's actually a binder, it's what people to use to make their chest look smaller or hide them. But of course she used it as a disguise, just like her brown wig. So it was her who killed that first man. Also, Eve was cutting herself to try and recreate how Villanelle did the first assassination as he died from a small cut on his leg. Eve is just so fascinated she wanted to try do it too. Also, MI5 is like the FBI so you're not necessarily a spy/agent. You could just be secretary or set up meeting and safety like Eve. In that scene where Eve buys milks with Caroline, she's basically telling her she's being promoted to secret agent/spy.

Such a smooth transition from Hannibal too. Unfortunately you won't be getting Buffy, I watched it back in the day

Shout out to Pops. I like that you're enjoying it so far. I think the premise is amazing. And yes I can't wait for the next couple of episodes

Crazy that you started Killing Eve right after Hannibal! If you watched Buffy that'd be like my top 3 altogether!

just to say, the actor who plays Konstantine is in a trilogy with Mads Mikkelsen from Hannibal called Pusher and it is definitely worth the watch (since you enjoyed Hannibal) !!
I enjoyed the entire series, myself. Season one character introductions and the lead up to them meeting is on another level. I think the end is realistic which is why some didn’t vibe season 4. It's worth the commitment though-- the humor and acting is strong throughout.

Glad you mentioned the binder, I was coming here to comment that as well. Tho tbh, I totally missed it the first time I watched it as well. Just like Frank, I remember noting Villanelle’s figure in that pretty stolen dress in Tuscany and thinking the same thing, that it couldn’t be her! And also trying to sort out what the “plank” description meant because of it. It wasn’t until a second watch that I noticed the binder, which I wonder if they keep it kind of subtle on purpose. Lol because I feel like this show loves to take you on as many rides as it possibly can! 😂

I often wonder how differently the Hannibal/Will relationship would have been shown if it had aired years later like Killing Eve & not on NBC!
Happy for Villanelle & Eve, but guess they’re going to be robbed of trippy kaleidoscope sex, ah well..

I appreciate that. You’re one of the few people that have told me to just go with the flow and enjoy everything in its entirety.

Do we know why she stopped writing after the first season?

You talk about appreciating the attempt to make killers endearing meanwhile I'm over here HEAD OVER HEELS for Villanelle from the jump no matter what horrors she commits lmaoo

At least the connection between Eve and Villanelle is more text than subtext right from their first encounter --makes the Hannibal vibe spoiler less spoilery

Since the cat's out of the bag on how things fall off in this series I'll say that Phoebe Waller-Bridge is missed after S1 howeverrr other elements do remain strong. The actors' character work in particular is AMAZING throughout.

It definitely wasn't Eve's fault that the witness and everyone around her were killed. Eve did some questionable investigating and put Dom in danger (so glad he went to the vending machine) but as you said that had nothing to do with Villanelle being sent to clean up. Frank was just being a dick swab and scapegoating her.
Eve wasn't a secret agent at first. She worked for MI5 (and Niko was fully aware of that) which is national security in the UK and seems to be more bureaucratic and boring whereas MI6 is secret intelligence operating globally, espionage and intrigue, James Bond and all that. Frank is MI5 and Carolyn is MI6 and I think they're at least somewhat meant to personify the two agencies.
Really enjoying your speculation into Eve's character and motivations!

AAAAAAAAHHH IT'S HAPPENINGGG! I didn't realize you'd be starting it this soon! Feels like a personal gift to me for becoming a patron so I'm going to pretend it is lollll thankyouthankyou <3
Killing Eve ep1 has some of the best character intros I've ever seen, possibly THE BEST I've ever seen in Villanelle's intro. We learn SO MUCH about her in such a short time and with no dialogue! Such beautiful work. I adore the first scene between her and her handler Konstantin where she plays dead as well, again tells us so much about their relationship with so little.
A note about the small breasted assassin-- when Villanelle returns to her flat in Paris (wearing those fabulous striped pants) we see her take off a heavy duty binder with a sigh of relief. THANK YOU FOR NOTICING HER FASHION RIGHT AWAY!

Eve starts the show in MI5, which is a domestic law enforcement department, kind of like the FBI, but focused on foreign threats to the UK. She gets recruited in episode 2 by Carolyn, who is part of MI6, which is the spy department. They do covert ops in other countries, James Bond type stuff.

Phoebe definitely writes the show in a masterful way that makes you want the plot to go exactly where it would with any female antihero--"she'll be kind to kids, she'll become better out of love"--all the subconscious stereotypes the audience carries get thrown back in your face

Hi Frank! Really excited you're tuning in to my fav season of Killing Eve (and I hope you like it as much as I do), but clearly Hannibal has taken residence in your head rent free???
