I'm beginning to think anything about assassins, serial killers, or psychopaths will automatically be dogshit.
Summary: Globetrotting spy thriller turns into Hannibal-esque psychosexual romance between the cat and the mouse, except with more Whedonism. Konstantin is the best character.
Also, Jodie Comer could play Ivanka Trump. Also "Villanelle" would've been a much more intriguing title than "Killing Eve" lol, but I guess the latter have more metaphorical meanings as well.
iZombie actually goes hard.
I really liked it, I fell off in the last season after it really jumped the shark though. Also Rahul Kohli is hot as fuck
Yeah, it kinda keeps trying to have this huge cliffhanger "oh shit everything has changed" moment at the end of each season and it barely holds on each time. Tough to do well, tougher to keep doing well.
I think it's a surprisingly good show for being on the CW, and the budget they had.
It’s the exact same problem The 100 had. Every season finale felt like they had to be a huge “everything will be different” moment and it becomes a wilder and wilder leap each time
This is basically the MO of all long-running shows on The CW, I've heard that it's basically mandatory. Idk if it's that the network execs demand some sort of change to the story to justify a new season being made, or if it's a dumb marketing strategy to build hype, or what.
The CW is basically a nightmare land that can only churn out low-tier slop that can't even sustain a fanbase to the point of souring people off of longstanding beloved franchises by milking them to death, but every so often they accidentally make something watchable.
