It baffles me that not everyone has given this 10/10. I think people might change their mind in time. It's an absolute monster of an episode and critics will look back and see this as a stand-out, pivotal chapter.
It plays out like a self-contained movie, with a gentle build up, set more in the genre of a character drama than a violent thriller.
Jodie is the force that drives this episode. And the devious writing toys with our perceptions of Eve's character based on all that we know of her so far. The result is that there are twists and surprises around every corner.
It's a massive achievement that in the limited running time of one episode, they introduce us to a whole new set of characters, each of who we get to know intimately by the end.
In addition, this episode leaves behind the comfort zone of Killing Eve's regular format to bring us something really brave and special. The acting is outstanding, Jodie's performance is at the very least a BAFTA grabbing one, and the finale is both shocking and utterly satisfying.
And just when you think the genius can't be topped, the final scene enters the realm of the sublime, and leaves you with goose-pimples prickling up your spine.
I hope the user reviewers reconsider their luke-warm reviews and give this another chance!
