My Thoughts​

This show and season was a pleasant surprise that I was not expecting to like as much as I did.

I started watching it on Netflix while my brother CC was visiting for two weeks recently.

I had heard of this TV show before because some people online recommended it for those who like the character Alice Morgan from the TV show Luther.

So I binged watched this entire season in less than two days, it kept my attention, and Jodie Comer as the character Oksana Astankova / Villanelle was a standout of this season & this show.

Fiona Shaw as the character Carolyn Martens also did a good job playing a very stiff & British but secretly more complex character.

I could see some good & bad aspects of Phoebe Waller-Bridge on this season & TV show, mostly the good, fortunately, and I was impressed with the unique perspective & depth & surprising comedy moments throughout it.

This season & show managed to combine various elements in a way that mostly works.

There are some flaws like: some anti-male elements, black characters are under-represented & have very minor & limited roles in my opinion, some toxic femininity that is promoted & not called out, and a few other negative aspects that are not challenged & seemly are presented as being good.

Those flaws were not enough to damage the overall show that much for me, and I enjoyed it overall.

This is currently my favorite TV show of the year so far, to my surprise, and this season & season 2 are the best two seasons of this show.

I wish that I would have started watching this TV show sooner, I did not want it to end, which is very rare, and I even went back & watched episode 1 again last night.

I definitely recommend watching this show, especially this season & season 2, and I would rate it a 4.5 – 5.
