iaria3x01 'Slowly Slowly Catchy Monkey'
+ Poor Kenny! He really was the kindest, sweetest character. But as a way to get Eve back in the game and invested in getting answers as well as forcing Eve and Carolyn back to working together with a common goal this really was the best way to do it.
+ The Eve/Kenny scene was nice. I liked Eve reaching out and accepting his offer to hang out.
+ "You're not even crying because of her. You're crying because you feel stupid. Because you were stupid." Oh, Eve. Her depression/PTSD funk felt very real.
+ Villanelle dealing with her break-up with Eve by picking up a random woman and marrying her (and then abandoning her at the reception) struck as very her - as long as it was a whirlwind romance/marriage. It makes sense to me that she would try to replicate the future she was envisioning with Eve with a new person, only to find deeply lacking in all ways. Her stepping back from killing on the other hand surprised me. I would have expected the opposite reaction but I suppose that was a part of the whole fantasy future maybe.
+ I loved meeting Villanelle's mentor Dasha and the relationship between them is fun.
+ The show checked in on all the character except Jess. I wonder where she is?
3x02 'Management Sucks'
+ Villanelle's reaction to learning that Eve was alive was so great. She cried, she laughed, she was so damn happy!
+ I'm curious about why The Seven are so invested in Villanelle considering how unreliable and temperamental she is. I just feel like it has to be more than that she's a good/inventive killer and sunk cost fallacy (they trained her, they must get full use out of her).
+ "You have to show them you have some judgment." So that was her 'I'm totally screwed face' right? Because Villanelle has no judgment. (Along with patience or responsibility.)
+ Villanelle's new apartment is gorgeous. I loved the windows.
+ I liked the little moment when Konstantin put his hand on Carolyn's shoulder in support and she clasped it for a second.
