” Season 3, Eve slams herself into a seat opposite her former boss Carolyn and immediately starts demanding answers about Villanelle . She doesn’t get far before Carolyn cuts her off with an exhausted sigh. The answer, of course, is no — and it’s become, as Carolyn expresses so succinctly in this scene, exhausting.
Eve’s fixation on Villanelle has been the pulse of “Killing Eve” since the beginning. It’s fueled them both to burrow deep into their own darkest impulses and face each other, eyebrows arched in curiosity and more than a little lust, as if staring into a mirror. Oh and Comer barely had to share the screen for their electricity to crackle through it. In its best moments, “Killing Eve” teased the tension between the two with an expert eye for how to draw it out without pushing it too far.
This season saw Eve circling the drain. After Villanelle left her for dead in the second season, neither she nor the show has any idea what to do with her life next. Her fed-up husband has skipped the country, her job at MI-6 is long gone, and her only friend dies suddenly in the premiere. Left with nothing, she turns to the only solid thing she had before it all fell apart: her obsession with Villanelle.
When Villanelle and Eve finally do come back together in the season finale, the episode tries hard to get them back to their baseline of mutual infatuation. And yet, it can’t quite square that endpoint with the scattered season that preceded it. Villanelle’s glad to see Eve, but Eve’s painfully, desperately relieved to see Villanelle.
What first made Eve and Villanelle’s cat and mouse game so magnetic was the fact that, despite its turbulence, the longing between them was always equal. For whatever “side” they were on, they shared a fascination with each other that no one else could rival or understand. If “Killing Eve” wants to keep itself afloat for another season , it needs to find that balance again — or at the very least, give Eve something more interesting to do than pine for it.
