The gender of each of these detectives was never incidental.

These intriguing variations speak to the capaciousness of the cat-and-mouse genre.

Its not only that details matter.

The details can make a show matter.

(Im kinda glad hes dead?)

Eve has it pretty good, but Villanelle has it made.

Shes basically an Anthropologie model come to life.

Did I mention the first-class trip she takes to Tuscany?

(She has to kill some old guy there, but whatever.)

She looks triumphant as she sees life fade from her victims eyes.

Also: Anthropologie aint cheap!

Eve doesnt believe it.

She tracks down the dead guys girlfriend, Kasia, and asks her what she saw.

Your killer was a small-breasted psycho, her husband says.

I call new band name.

Somehow, they dont have sex immediately after this conversation.

Were supposed to think less of the hunky husband because hes not turned on by O.J.

SimpsonsIf I Did Itas foreplay.

Eve is still supremely likable, but I dont need her to be Murder-Roleplay Zooey Deschanel.

(Mark me down as officially jealous of this bitch.)

Her handler, Konstantin, tells her to get her menage-a-trois-ing ass to London and knock off Kasia.

(The lack of sexy spy wigs on Villanelle is phenomenally refreshing.)

And Villanelles gender makes her an invisible threat.

The board is set.

The pieces feel different.

Im dying to know the next move.
