In this article, I want to share my opinion and my emotions that I experienced when watching the series "Killing eve".
Brief description
I would like to start with it. The series revolves around MI5 analyst Eve Polastri and the hired killer Villanelle, by the way, a curious fact, the killer has Russian roots, which can not but warm up the interest of the viewer. Soon, the two women become obsessed with each other. This description is made as brief as possible in order to avoid spoilers.
The actors
The main stars of the series. Jodie Comer, she's Villanelle. She may be familiar to viewers from the historical series "The White Princess", where she played the main role. Sandra Oh, aka Eva Polastri. She played in "Grey’s Anatomy", where she starred for a long time. Fiona Shaw or Carolyn Martens. Here is not without Harry Potter, hello aunt Petunia. And finally, Kim Bodnia with his infectious laugh, Konstantin or curator Villanelle, starred in the Datsko-Swedish series "The Bridge". In addition to the excellent script, which was written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge herself ("Fleabag") and excellent characters, the main success of the series is the choice of actors.
My opinion
I will start, perhaps, from the very beginning, namely, when I opened this series. In the spring of 2018, the 1st season of this series was released, and I watched it in the summer of the same year. I can say with confidence that this is the first series that has dragged me from the first series and from the first moment. I will speak in as much detail as possible and pay attention to small details. The first thing I want to notice is the constant movement of the main characters, one second they are in Paris, and the next in London. Without Russia, of course, not done, BUT honestly I do not understand why people write that we were offended by the bad views of Moscow. First, Russia was shot in Romania, and second, in all the films Russia shows unreliably, so I do not see the point of constantly paying much attention to this. I will say that when you watch "Killing eve" you will enjoy the picturesque views of each country and hear elegant background music that emphasizes the color of the country in which the events take place. This is a British series, and accordingly, the humor should be specific, BUT here, I was wrong, because every joke complements the situation and gives it piquancy, of course, the master in this is Villanelle. Probably the most exciting thing for me was the development of the main characters, especially in season 3, after such a long time, you understand how much the characters have grown. I can write a separate paragraph about Villanelle's outfits. In fact, you can talk about it forever, because there are too many of them. Each series is a fashion show. She wears all the most fashionable, stylish and eclectic. A fashionable Parisian, a bold Italian, a romantic Frenchwoman, a reserved Englishwoman. From all these images, you can already guess that something very interesting and exciting.
Comparing all the seasons
At the moment, there are 3 seasons; before the premiere of season 3, the series was renewed for season 4, which will most likely be released in the spring of 2021, since the producers do not intend to shift the shooting schedule due to the pandemic. This information was taken from a recent interview.
I will briefly run through season 1 and 2, because there are almost no differences between them, but it is really worth talking about season 3. The first seasons are dedicated to the game of cat and mouse. We are initiated into the essence of events, introduced to the characters, BUT it all happens quickly, and with each episode you get to know the hero better and better, understand his character and start to enjoy all the action. I want to do without spoilers, so this is the end of the story about season 1 and 2. Well, but season 3 ended recently, on June 1. I can say that it has become more profound in terms of ideas and actions of the characters, they begin to rethink his life and it made me look at this series on the other hand, it does not become less interesting, just a started to watch the show because of the game of cat-and-mouse, and season 3 tells a different story, BUT I can say, if you think about it really, it is impossible to stand still and to constantly kill all the same topic, it is necessary to develop the characters from different sides, which they did, Yes many will not like it, but I think it is worth a look, because the series recreates reality in which everything is constantly changing and without it anywhere. In any series, the main characters must change, in terms of their actions and consequences. I think that season 3 turned out to be mysterious, emotional and more calm, and was necessary for the integrity of the story, so to speak connecting between seasons 2 and 4. I want to believe that something really BIG is waiting for us in season 4. In no case do I want to dissuade You from viewing, just because of season 3. NO!!! It remained the same, intriguing, daring, dangerous, bright and with a brand of humor, just became more dark and everything, in any case, it is WORTH WATCHING.
Audience
Here you can look at it from different angles, that is, the series is designed for 18, but this restriction is obtained because of the bloody murders, which are not recommended for viewing to persons younger. At the time of viewing season 1, I was 15 years old and I can say that I have seen movies and TV series worse than this. In General, I would give the age limit of 16 years.
Result
I hope that after reading this article, you will watch this series. It impresses with its colorfulness and saturation, the camerawork is simply at the highest level. Each episode looks with pleasure, and the series probably fly at the speed of light, you don't have time to think, and you're already finishing watching season 3. I advise everyone who has read up to this point to start watching it. Enough weekends to understand why everyone likes this little-known series so much. No wonder jodie comer (Villanelle) won an Emmy and a BAFTA for best actress in a drama series. Sandra O (Eva) won the Golden globe for best actress in a television series. All pleasant viewing!
