Killing Eve

I watched "Mum" once, and wondered why it was so highly regarded. I didn't try it again to find out.
I've just started Killing Eve in series 2 and am catching up with Series 1 - binge watching.

"moisturiser"!

She's still wearing her BAFTA outfit and makeup trisher

I've tried with "Mum" and it does occasionally have a funny moment but I don't think it's hilarious. I really can't believe anyone would be so accommodating all the time.
As far as 'Eve' goes am I mistaken or has Carolyn suddenly had a style make-over for series 2? Don't remember her being so glam in series 1 until they went to Russia.

You must suspend disbelief when watching such things. I often wonder how Daenerys has time to do those elaborate hairdo's in Game of Thrones etc but I have to put it to the back of my mind....

But that makes sense because Dolthraki plaits = battles won and she had Missandei to help

Agree re mum. Its snooty look down on everyone passive aggressiveness, if she dislikes her family and friends so much why does she keep inviting them round?

I was a great fan of the previous series because it was original and whacky and for once women were playing the main and atypical roles. This series I think is trying too hard, and has become more of a not so funny comedy. They are now apparently introducing a second psychopath!

100% with you there Calendargirl!

It must be me, but I would far rather watch Killing Eve than the dreadful Mum which so many people think is wonderful. I know it’s violent and far-fetched, but the humour is more my cup of tea than the unkind comedy in Mum.

I can see this is not going to be popular but I think it's really awful. The level and kind of violence is way over the top. I can't get the humour and I hate the "smacked bum" look on Eve's face, which is only relieved when she adopts the "sorry-for-myself-but slightly-bemused-by-everything" look.

I know we're supposed to suspend belief for drama, but in this case belief is suspended from a gibbet and has all sorts of medieval tortures applied before the drop.

And it is not at all funny.

I was pretty sickened the first time round, but stuck with it because so many people seemed to see brilliance in it.

This time I just watched bits and it is still awful. I know I don't have to watch and I won't, but I really don't get the attraction and object to licence payers' money being spent on violent rubbish.

Hate it!

Ha Ha, loving the comments about this program. It is the whackiest one i have seen in a while and i love it. There is something about V which draws me in and although she is awful violent at times i find myself liking her!!!

I think Eve's husband is creepy!

Where is Julian's mum by now do you think? How far did she get in her nightie?

You must suspend disbelief when watching such things. I often wonder how Daenerys has time to do those elaborate hairdo's in Game of Thrones etc but I have to put it to the back of my mind....

"Exactly"

How exaxtly is Eve still paying her mortgage? Her employment is so sporadic these days... (am I missing the point? ?)

Very creepy episode tonight. Julian was scarier than Villanelle!

Yes; he is strangely attractive...

Oops ......Midland

My favourite country band at the minute (Midland) remind me of Eve’s husband Niko, don’t you think ?

Eve’s husband (Niko) reminds me of an electric cowboy ! I normally don’t like men with facial hair but I find both him and Konstantin strangely attractive

Why does Eve's husband look so 1970's ? [or is it 80's]

Labaik yes her house is very lovely, better than Eves anyway!

Isn't Carolyn's house fabulous...

Patsy70 it is on BBC1

trisher I think his accent helps - he has a sort of lived in face full of character, when you get to my age I prefer that to a pretty boy (although George Clooney is quite pretty)

What channel is Killing Eve on? My children are avid fans, so I thought I'd give it a try.
