For example: Who is Villanelle if shes not a hired killer?
What does Villanelle even want anymore?
While this episode had a lot of facetime with Eve, theres so incredibly little of her in it.
Without a homelife or, more importantly, Kenny, Eves world is down to nil.
What does she care about other than Villanelle?
Theres a way that could have been fascinating, but season 3 didnt quite find it.
As an individual episode, 307 is fine, though not up to the usual standards.
Someone high profile had to go, so Dasha and Paul were it.
Instead, we get a faux-transgressive joke about how their tag-team murder is romantic.
Villanelles fight with Rhian feels like one of the most honest moments (career-wise) of the season.
She could no longer kill someone directly, with her own two hands.
Does this mean Villanelle the killer is back?
Is she only able to kill this way now?
Or did she simply need someone nipping at her heels, trying to surpass her?
Its frustrating thatKilling Evewould rather wait a year to entertain these questions, if at all.
Finally, theres the seasons central mystery ofwho killed Kenny.
or because The Twelve sent him (they hadnt yet!)
The reveal that it was Carolyn holding Paul at gunpoint was pretty obvious.
Something about the way this was played made it all feel small and low-stakes.
Watching them all get caught up on the illicit goings-on felt more like a dinnertime farce than a thriller.
Everything else felt a bit rote.
But just like Eve and Villanelle, I cant walk away.
Not yet, anyway.
