Killing Eve Season Two generally resembled the first series.
Which think had to be a positive – what we’d wanted after all – and certainly not the problem with it: a flaw as fatal as Villanelle herself.
Watching the first episode in particular felt like excitedly looking forward to seeing your favourite group’s comeback and finding a Killing Eve tribute band doing a kind of cover version of the show.

Predictably it had forgotten the mistake (the secret) with cover versions is not to try and make it the same as the original but be different. Otherwise it has nothing new to offer but is just trading on former glories.
Killing Eve 2 was desperate to show it hadn’t changed - like one of those acts that had lost its star performer but had decided to carry on regardless, replacing them with someone less famous and far more ordinary doing a poor imitation.
