Killing Eve episode 3 review, Culture Whisper
A huge part of Killing Eve’s continued appeal is its comedy. And although this is the least attractive season so far – many thrills falling into predictable formulas – the laughs have never dried up.
Happily, episode three proves to be one of the series' funniest episodes, while also wielding this season’s first dive into unbearable tension. It makes you realise that much of the previous suspense of Killing Eve has dilapidated over time, but this can be forgiven if more nail-biters like this are waiting to leap out.
This episode is like a testing of the stylish waters for writer Laura Neal, who’s replacing Suzanne Heathcote as show-runner for season four. It’s a shame that quarantine will delay the Neal iteration; we’ll have to wait to see how funny Killing Eve could be. With a few decent comedy credits to her name, including an episode of Sex Education, Neal’s potential is exciting and we’ll only need to wait for episode seven for another flavour. And her humour is dark. Delectably dark.
