Killing Eve episode 6 review, Culture Whisper
Villanelle (Jodie Comer) is dangerous at the best of times, but when she’s tired and traumatised she leaps into the unpredictable. After blowing up her mother last week, cutting her main familial tie to her past, you see the impact. In episode six, she’s barely keeping it together, looking for escape in another parental figure: Konstantin (Kim Bodnia).
Killing Eve is an intriguingly objective series: you’re not permitted access to the character’s minds, there’s no therapy, and discussing feelings is anathema. Instead, their actions speak for themselves. This week, Villanelle goes to visit Konstantin, who confronts her about her mother. Her face creases, tears ready, before she shuts him down. She doesn’t want to talk about it.
