Killing Eve third season divides critics, from 'heart-stoppingly brilliant' to 'no longer TV's must-watch' 📺

Jodie Comer won a Bafta TV award last year for her portrayal of Villanelle

The critics are in two minds about the latest series of Killing Eve ahead of its return this weekend. For every review calling it"heart-stoppingly brilliant", there is another dismissing it as"tired to the point of lifelessness"."the novelty has worn off" and that it is"no longer TV's must-watch".The first episode will be made available on BBC iPlayer on Monday morning ahead of a BBC One airing on 19 April.Instead, episodes will be released each Monday on a week-by-week basis.

Based on Luke Jennings' Codename Villanelle novellas, Killing Eve tells of a sultry professional assassin and a dogged MI6 operative on her trail.

Even a mediocre killing eve episode is better than most dramas out there

Never seen it. Doubt I've missed out.

Overated from the beginning

Can we wait until it’s shown here before BBC News (UK) starts sharing articles about it!!

Usually stop the massacre. The oppressed women have prayed badly. Innocent people have also been killed in Kashmir today. FaroqarshedJKPP

Must you tweet this inane drivel from your dedicated news account? There's plenty of other material out there for you to get your teeth into, such as Brexit procured by lies, deception, malign foreign influence & illegal funding; Russian report suppressed by govt, deadly pandemic

I cannot comment, I'm in Thailand and can't watch it 😟

Watched half of first episode season 2. Garbage.

Loved both seasons, still excited about the 3rd

cant wait for this 😀

The number of people saying ‘season’ on here makes me sick. If you don’t use a sidewalk or drink from a faucet then it’s a series.

Just dragging on a poor storyline

It has never been ‘must watch’, it’s merely ok. Second only to Breaking Bad as most overrated tv ever.

Love it!

Don't listen to TV critics. Season 2 wasn't as good as the first in my opinion but still better than most of the crud churned out. I'll be tuning in. Thanks

Never watched the first series ,sounded like I was wise .

Can't wait personal, we love it!

Never even heard of it let alone watched it

i love it. i don't give a shit. imma enjoy each and every weird second of this glorious ass show while i pretend to be villanelle's ugly sister who just likes to tag along to each kill. coz i'm fun that way

The writer shouldn't have let the BBC anywhere near it..I would have took the idea to Netflix...

I thought it was excellent right up until the last 10 minutes of the final ep of season 1. Why it turned into a lesbian thing I don’t know know.

When will the third season be broadcast? ☺️

Sadly by the second season and the terminator esque nature of the assassin it started to wear thin. Even the little asides of mundanity for humour were forced and too often. End on a high note.

Killing Eve? You want to kill Eve? Give it to Chibnall RIPDoctorWho

It went down hill after Phoebe Waller-Bridge stopped writing it

So we pay a licence fee but it’s aired in the USA first?

Stopped watching at end of first series. Decided it had descended in to fantasy nonsense!

First season was superb. They should have left it at that.

Typical BBC

The second series was a huge disappointment, I so hoped the third would recapture the magic

I genuinly never even gave season 2 ago as the ending to the first season was so bad. Season one was great, until the last 10 minutes, then we were like 'what an utterly shite ending, never again.
