Killing Eve S2 - Review, well sort of..

Did laundry and watched the last three episodes of Killing Eve S2, which apparently was controversial and a lot of people disliked. (I liked it -- it tracked and felt earned. Also, I sort of knew that's where we were headed by the end of the first of the last three episodes. And -- I must say that I was relieved that Villanelle didn't decide to do something that...ahem, would have been a bit too Titus Adronicus for my taste. The writers certainly lead us to believe she was going to do that.)

I will say that at least Killing Eve isn't quite as gruesome in its displays of violence as some other series I've watched. It pulls back a bit, and doesn't show everything.

It was slow in places, but not as slow as the previous season, and I think it worked overall. And yes, yourlibrarian nailed it when she said that it felt a bit like Buffy stealing off to have adventures with Drusilla, under the auspice of Angel and Darla, while Riley is left sputtering in the background. You either see that metaphor or you don't -- my mother really didn't.

Overall? I liked it. But I also wasn't really all that emotionally invested in the characters -- which probably helped. I liked them. But didn't ship them, if that makes sense.
