Killing Eve Season 3 Episode 1
Killing Eveis back, and in grand dramatic fashion.
The bops are chicer and more French.
The clothes are hotter and gayer.
The one-liners are more darkly devastating in their withering quirkiness.
Well, everyone except Eve.
Thats no small feat.
First: Yes,Eve is alive.
A weirdly interested third party who wants to call in a favor later?
But if this is left purely at random passing tourists, I wont be mad, just disappointed.
Kenny truly was too good and pure for this world.

Losing Kenny is devastating.
Hes one of the few remaining original characters and brought a sort of sweet, goofy humor to everything.
I will miss him so.
That said, this is a brilliant move.
One episode in, and season 3 already feels like its crackling more than season 2.
Still, it breaks my heart, which is probably why they did it.
But before we say goodbye, lets talk about dear, sweet Kenny.
First, is he being spied on at work or is it just old habits?
He has curiously published no articles at hisVice/Buzzfeedanalogue yet.
He also deleted all of his research and told his coworker he was going to meet someone.
He ended up seeing Eve, but only because she drunk texted him.
Did he have other plans, or was he lying to his coworker?
(Is it just me or is tracking Eves phone Kennys love language?)
I honestly had trouble remembering exactly what happened to him at the end of last season.
What does assassin retirement look like?
How many aside from Dasha live that long?
What will happen to Villanelle and Konstantins relationship if shes above him and doesnt need him anymore?
Villanelles kill here is really unlike any other weve seen from here.
Its surprisingly sloppy, with little of her trademark sense of humor.
After all, Dasha said they study her kills.
Much like Eve, Villanelle truly wants out of the game, at least for now.
When she cant play with her favorite toy, the game isnt so much fun anymore.
So whats the point in doing anything more than phoning it in?
She might as well give her old mentor the finger, assassin-style.
The central performances are, as always, the strongest parts of an already strong show.
In this episode, Oh looks almost entirely transformed, which comes purely from her physical performance.
Eve may have wanted out, but the show itself is clear that she belongs in this twisted dynamic.
Lets see how long she manages to resist.
