Season 3 of Killing Eve is inconsistent. It has some great acting and a dark sense of humor, but it also has poor editing, a messy story with multiple plot threads left dangling at the end, and lots of plot holes that are difficult to look past. ..
Eve returns to London after a long absence, determined to clear her name and put an end to the conspiracy that has been haunting her. She team up with Dasha, a new recruit who is looking to make a name for herself in MI6. When someone close to Eve meets an untimely death, Eve is thrust back into action once again as she tries to piece together what happened and find out who The Twelve are.
The season’s structure changes slightly and splits the narrative focus between a number of different characters, which makes Killing Eve less consistent in tone and results in a less satisfying end. Those expecting answers and a decent conclusion will almost certainly be left disappointed.
The real winner of Killing Eve this year is Jodie Comer, who delivers another fantastic performance as Villanelle and acts as the proverbial glue that holds everything together. Sandra Oh does okay and she’s given a few moments to shine but these feel too infrequent as her character hits a lot of one-note moods thanks to the scripts that dictate her traveling along a much darker and moodier path without ever pulling the trigger and turning to the dark side.
This year, Carolyn has a much bigger role to play and a lot of this comes off the back of that big aforementioned plot twist at the end of the first episode. Even though the writing isn’t as strong as it’s been in previous seasons, it’s good to see the acting has never dropped in quality.
The stylish cues, including the big expository text to showcase the different countries we’re traveling to and the eclectic soundtrack are still here to enjoy and there’s enough in this that fans of the show will love the continued exploits of Villanelle and Eve’s misadventures. Those looking for something to match or surpass what’s come before however will almost certainly be left wanting. The show squanders its potential with a messy narrative and unfortunately no level of acting can hide some of the glaring issues inherent in this season.
Killing Eve has always been a decent drama, but this season falls short of its predecessors. With a fourth season already green-lit, it’s unclear if Killing Eve can recapture its former glory. ..
Apple’s new iPhone XS and XR are some of the most advanced and expensive smartphones on the market, but they also come with a few drawbacks. One of the biggest is that they don’t have a headphone jack, which means you’ll have to use headphones to listen to your music or watch videos. Another downside is that they don’t have a face scanner, which means you’ll need to use a phone camera to unlock them.
