I was hoping for BBC America to post the gifs themselves, but had to turn to the filth that inhabit tumblr for it:
God bless this show.
So, uh, can someone explain the last scene to me? As much as it can be explained? Like, did Eve want to kill her or not? I get the she's confused by normal, non-psychopathic people don't suddenly jump from stabbing someone with a knife to "oh my god don't move so I can get some bandages."
Also how the heck Villanelle manage to get away with a wound like that? I thought she was dead for sure.
She wanted to kill her, then immediately regretted it. Pretty simple.
I get it, I'm just having trouble believing it. Or at least, I'm having trouble getting into Eve's headspace when her emotions could whiplash that quickly. Around whether or not to kill someone for goodness sakes.
It's such a slow method of killing that she thought she could do it, but once she was in mid kill it turned out she couldn't and had to stop. Goes along with Villanelle's idea that some people just can't do it. But still caught her by surprise that Eve would even try.I get it, I'm just having trouble believing it.

i just watched the pilot for this and this show is so so good.
I rewound a few times to watch it repeatedlyThe scene in the penultimate episode with Konstantin escaping was so fucking good. i love all of the music choices in this show.
The "Twelve" and the conspiracy stuff doesn't quite click but Eve, Villanelle and their relationship was the most compelling thing on TV this year. I've been recommending the show to everyone I know.
The one thing that bothered me was that both of their bosses betrayed them but there doesn't seem to really be any follow up or major calling out from Eve's side.The "Twelve" and the conspiracy stuff doesn't quite click but Eve, Villanelle and their relationship was the most compelling thing on TV this year.

As Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer prepare to resume their cat-and-mouse game in the second season of BBC America hit "Killing Eve," Emerald Fennell is taking over from Phoebe Waller-Bridge as lead writer on the show, and two women have joined the directing team.
Waller-Bridge is in demand as a writer and actor, with her breakout hit "Fleabag" also entering its sophomore season. She landed an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series for "Killing Eve." She will remain actively involved as executive producer on the new season, which has started shooting in Europe.
Lead writing duty now goes to writer-actor Fennell, who will serve as an executive producer and is best-known for her role in the BBC and PBS series "Call the Midwife." Waller-Bridge brought Fennell on board, and was also instrumental in attaching two new directors to the series, Lisa Bruhlmann ("Blue My Mind") and Francesca Gregorini ("Electric Dreams"). Damon Thomas returns as a director and executive producer.
The first season was shot across Europe, and the second season will shoot in locations including Amsterdam, London and Paris.
Hmm, I'm excited for the new directors, they seem to be an inspired choice (also love that they're pushing relatively unknown woman directors)
It's (~hopefully~) not the end of the world. PWB didn't write all of the first season. (albeit I'd have a much more relaxed attitude if PBW did all of TV)
Not sure how to feel about this.

This has started in the U.K. and the entire thing has gone up on iPlayer. All done in a day.
I consume a lot of media and this. This is something special. Never have I felt so bad for laughing so hard.
They create a terrifying character and then you care so much for that character and laugh with that character.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge is sitting in an upmarket restaurant, asking me to teach her how to burp at will. "I can't armpit fart and I can't fake burp, and I think that's a tragedy," she says. We met about five minutes ago; I'm not quite sure how we reached this point. Waller-Bridge is tall, gangly, preppy. Head-girl material. But a rebel head girl who likes to get everyone into trouble – herself included.
She is trying her best to burp, but nothing is coming. "How d'you do it?" she pleads. I let one rip. "You really commit with your face," she says approvingly, before trying again. Eventually a little burp peeps out. "That was really delayed," she complains. "I've got good comedy timing with my farts, though."
Seems like this getting quite the coverage in the UK.
Tome to binge it on BBC boxsets.
You're in for a ride. Comer is just so damn good in this.This has started in the U.K. and the entire thing has gone up on iPlayer. All done in a day.

Finally convinced my friend to watch this, and they're loving it. The wait for Season 2 sucks...
It's a worthy winner of our countdown. We look forward to the next series and hope that it is good enough to top every poll next year too, because Killing Eve killed it in this.
"What I loved about the kills, though," Comer says, "was that it was always something you'd never, ever think. It was never 'someone gets stabbed'. There was always something creative about it. She thrives off what she does, she cares about what she does, so it made sense to me that she would care about the detail."
"With every drama, you don't know how it's going to go. Of course, I was obsessed with Fleabag [Waller-Bridge's own breakthrough], so I always knew that whatever Phoebe touched turned to gold. But the style was so alien to me," she says. "I second guessed every choice that I'd made."
Was Villanelle little more than a caricature? Was she just really over the top? Comer went against her instincts to create the assassin. "I had this impression that, to do good acting, everything is minimal, really whispered, less is more," she says. "What I learned playing Villanelle is that there is acting that can be so full of life and bold that it is ridiculous at times. There was something very freeing about playing her."
This is getting loads of end of the year acclaim from critics. It's #2 behind Atlanta! https://www.metacritic.com/feature/critics-pick-the-top-10-best-tv-shows-of-2018
