Smart, funny, stylish & just a little bit bonkers

I’m beyond surprised that a show like this has come out of the BBC. It’s darkly and laugh out loud funny, and so ridiculously smart and stylish. Jodie Comer is absolutely phenomenal as Villanelle, she’s wondrously funny and plays a psychopath worryingly well. Her accents are brilliant, and I was shocked to see of all places that she’s from Liverpool. And Sandra Oh is surprisingly charismatic too.

The series starts off very strongly and the first few episodes are fantastic, however I did think it got a little bit strange and maybe a little too serious as the episodes moved along. Whilst this isn’t a huge problem, I did think it lost some of the magic from earlier in the series. I’d be intrigued to see how the second series pans out.
