Season 2 has just finished here. Anyone else been watching it?
I've finally managed to catch up with you, Mike. Last night I watched the final episode of series 2 and, sadly, I have to say my overriding impression is one of disappointment. There was another stunning performance by Jodie Comer as Villanelle and occasional touches of the quirky humour so in evidence in the first series but that was about all.
I don't know whether it was just my over-high expectation brought on by my enjoyment of the first series, the lack of an element of surprise about what Villanelle could do after series one, the change of writer - surely a mistake - or perhaps a combination of all three but, after the first couple of episodes which did grip me, I found myself increasingly watching it simply because I'd started it.
I don't think I'm giving too much away to those who haven't watched it yet by saying that the ending was left open enough for a possible third series. If that happens, I hope they bring back Phoebe Waller-Bridge as the writer which I suspect may be the missing element this time around.
