Killing Eve (Series)

 Killing Eve


Dear Phoebe Waller-Bridge,

          You have a beautiful mind. I wonder what is it like in there. How do you come up with such ideas? A female assassin and a female spy played by Jodi Comer and Sandra Oh respectively. Both are equally obsessed and fixated with each other. Two brilliant minds in a cat and mouse chase. Phoebe, every time I think I have figured you out, you successfully confuzzle me. Your writing is bizarre. It is unpredictable. Killing Eve is always a step ahead of the viewers.


          Eve (played by Sandra Oh) is an MI5 British Intelligence agent stuck with a boring desk job. Her brilliance and caliber aren't used to the full extent in this particular cell. Her sharp observation and assassination obsession lands her a job in an MI6 spy cell. Her first task is to find out the assassin behind the murder of high-profile political figures. Phoebe, how did you decide that the assassin has to be a woman? What were the particulars that you felt were important to indicate that the assassin is a female?


          I love both Eve and Villanelle. However, something about Villanelle makes me more interested in her. Maybe it's her ominous persona or the mysterious way in which her brain works. Maybe it's both. Villanelle is a psychopath murderer. Her luxurious way of life and her strong combat skills keep me hooked. The combined duo of Villanelle and Eve makes me question my morals and principles in ways I didn't know were possible. What is the genre of this show? It seems to have dark humor, drama, thrill, comedy, kickass -witty women and so much more. Google puts it under drama. But I don't think that does justice to this show. Which category would you put it in Phoebe? 


          Phoebe Waller-Bridge, I fell in love with you from the first episode of Fleabag. From that point to season 3 of Killing Eve, you never fail to impress me. Your writing leaves me baffled and wanting more. The journey from 'It will pass' to 'Sorry baby' has been awesome. I hope I get to meet you someday.

An enthusiastic view,
biggest admirer,
eagerly waiting for season 4,
Shreya Choudhary.

P.S. I am in love with you and I don't think it will pass. 

Rating: 5/5

God! It makes me rage at how efficient things are when you're a dick to people.


Look at previous posts for Fleabag review.

Complications (Book)

  Complications           Notes from the life of a Young Surgeon                           You know when we are little, and someone asks us what we want to be when we grow up? At that point of time, we believe or at least I believed anything was possible. I could be a doctor, teacher or an IFS officer. I genuinely believed I could become anything or anyone. As time passed, I didn’t think about what I wanted to become. People told me that they could imagine me as a doctor. I was told that I had the composure of a doctor. I was overall a good student. Good at studies but not a topper. I played sport but I wasn’t part of any national team. I enjoyed drawing but I was no artist. I loved writing and reflecting so, I started a blog.            Do I regret pursuing MBBS? Sometimes. Honestly, I find MBBS to be a fun course. There is so much interesting things to study. The subjects are unique and most importantly, relevant. To see how far we have come as a humanity in terms of disease and cure

 Dark Matter                                 Dark Matter by Blake Crouch is an amazing and mind-blowing book. It's a page-turner. There is a mediocre high school Physics professor- Jason, who always ponders about his life choices. What if he hadn't settled down with his wife? What if he didn't have a kid? What if he continued with his research? He keeps wondering about the path not taken. Our choices make us. Every decision that we take impacts our tomorrow.                Our world is three-dimensional. The two dimensions help in perceiving the length and breadth. The third dimension adds the element of depth. This makes up our reality. Now, this book deals with the fourth dimension- time. At a given moment we make a certain choice. Hence, with time we make various choices. Now imagine that one choice leads to where you are at present and the other choice makes up a whole other universe.           Till the time Jason was with his parents, all Jasons present in the multiver

Being Mortal (Book)

  Being Mortal "Medicine and What Matters in the End"           Being Mortal by Atul Gawande is a truly thought-provoking book. He has questioned the healthcare system to its core. One of the things I truly enjoyed about this book was that it emphasized more on the well-being of the patient than simply their health and survival. As people in the healthcare sector, our job isn't simply to prolong life, we have to ensure that people are living a meaningful life as well.           In the previous century, there was a lack of medicine and treatment options. People used to live till their 50s. They could die of simple diseases such as Malaria or dengue. Any bacterial infection used to cause severe degradation in health. With advancements in health care, life expectance increased. People lived longer. They began to experience old age. Old age comes with various ailments.           Humans are mortal. We all will die eventually. As we come to our natural end, we experience vario

Guts (Book)

  Guts A book by Raina Telgemeier           Thoughts can exist, feelings can exist, but words do not always exist........... However, you can try.           Everyone has a different way of coping with stress, anxiety, and fear. Some overeat, some under-eat and some don't eat at all.  My stress mechanisms are similar to Raina. When I am stressed or anxious, my gastrointestinal tract goes haywire. I don't overeat or under-eat. I eat an optimum amount. This doesn't make a difference because in a panicky situation that food simply needs to come out via an orifice. Sometimes, I feel that something is wrong with me but I have come to a realization that I just happen to have a very sensitive stomach.           Can you be sick even if you're not sick? Can you be healthy even if you hurt? Guts is a story of elementary school kid Raina. She is dealing with friends, not friends and classmates who think the school year is just one long gross-out session. Raina has a terribly upset
