I don't understand! Why would you follow a murderer alone without actively informing someone that could help? That was very stupid... Also, if a killer uses your name, isn't it obvious that it is to lure you?
Three episodes in, I'd already really liked Bill, and then this :(
Still, an amazing episode. Can't wait to see how all of this develops!
Amazing cast, love this show.
Wow. I liked Jodie Comer as the protagonist in the White Princess but she is killing it as an antagonist here, pun intended lol. She is very good here as the assassin wow. Keep up the good writing and acting :-)
That ending... I am shook... Poor Bill...
oh my god they made us fall in love with bill this episode, just for him to die his own foreshadowed death, I am so upset, why would you kill this bi icon and leave his kid(s?) without a father :(((
I know that Eve's team is unsanctioned, or some such thing, but they should still have some system in place to call for local backup even if it involves a lot of lying. And if not, then don't tail a dangerous person alone if you're not a competent operative. And if you're gonna tail a dangerous person alone when you're not a competent operative and you end up getting outed, then at least try to fight back. Regardless of who is doing the attacking and who is being attacked, I hate it when those in the latter group just concede without trying something in the way of self-defense.
Just started watching this series and I am enjoying it thus far.
you’re kidding me i loved bill :(
I was so scared for Bill the entire time he was tailing her. And then… well.
Just, no.
Even on re-watch, the final ten minutes of this episode are an excruciating (in a good way) sit. My lord, the moments where you see Bill's face change as he realises what he thought was a fun game of spy vs. spy is something very different. Villanelle is as terrifying as any villain you'd care to name. Just amazing work, by both David Haig and Jodie Comer. Also, last time I watched this, I didn't quite clock what Villanelle's actual reason for going after Bill was – I thought it another one of her murderous whims. Amazing foreshadowing, with the scene where she reviews Eve and Niko's Skype call.
If i thought Villanelle was going to be obssessed with Eve, well... surprise! Eve is just as obssessed. The way she was describing Villanelle was almost the way you describe someone you have a crush on; all dreamy and full of detail that you get from having someone's image in your head all the time.
And the pace of this just keeps on speeding up. The MI6 teams finds out that Villanelle knows about Eve and the team investigating her. She leaves a breadcrumb at her latest assassination. And Villanelle is roleplaying with a random hookup, asking the older woman to play as Eve. Oh, yeah, Villanelle is defenitely smitten with Eve.
The breadcrumb leads Eve and her old boss (Bill) to Germany, trying to find more info about their target, but they play straight into Villanelle's sights. She watches them from afar. She is the cat and she's playing with her hunt. Remember, it's a game and she's the chessmaster. If Eve doesn't liven up, she's going to get eaten alive. And Villanelle is hungry. As the Villanelle continues her hunt, poor Bill gets caught in the chase, trying to track down Villanelle, but unfortunately for him, she is leading him to a dead end... where he ends up dead.
Villanelle lures Bill into a crowded club, a place where he'll think he has the advantage, but when it's too late, he'll realize she's the hunter and he can't get out of the club fast enough. She kills him in middle of the club... and Eve who was trying to meet up with him, watches as his body collapses in the middle of the crowd, unable to do anything, not eve reach him. Visually, it was stunning... using the faceless crowd as a barrier but also a way to fill space. It's brilliant..
Did Bill genuinely believe he could follow the most wanted and dangerous assassin and go unnoticed?
Oh Bill, no :(
Great push and pull this episode with Eve so blissfully unaware she was being persued/watched. Villanelle's fixation is already fascinating. Amazing cast.
Bill's death was very unexpected and shocked me... Villanelle is truly merciless!
NO BILL MY POOR BABY.
what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck I will never ever ever EVER EVER EVER FORGIVE VILLANELLE
They better explain how her handler (?) knows everything about what mi6 is doing

For somebody working for an intelligence agency, they don't seem to be too intelligent...
– Somebody stole my bag, from right under our noses, in the few seconds it was unattended, and with all the police cars around? Meh, must have been a regular thief...
– Oh! I think I found the professional assassin! Lets follow her into that night club, unarmed and without backup! What could possibly go wrong?
So far the show seems to be pretty good... and the cast is brilliant. But the good guys need to be a little less dumb. Or a lot.
