Not yet. You'll be able to watch it in box set form on iplayer once the 8 week run in the US and rest of the world finishes - so second week of June or thereabouts.

Or you could just resort to Kodi, torrenting or using a VPN to use one of the overseas catch-up apps which carries it.

Binging on the first ATM so I can be ready for this. Can't decide if I love or hate.

Yeah, it's good like that, but I ended up loving it.

Will be interesting to see if Series 2 can match up to the first. I can't see it being possible (I didn't think the second series of Fleabag, by the same writer, quite matched the first), but we'll see!

Series 2 starts on BBC One on Saturday at 21:15, the whole series on iPlayer at the same time.

That's the weekend sorted!

I knew it started on Saturday, but didn't know about iPlayer. Brilliant - think I'll be watching more than one episode a week!

Jodie Comer really was superb in this, and the clips of the new series look very positive.

The ending of the series is ironic.

Same, some of the one-liners from my now favourite actress/assasin are awesome.

Watched the whole thing over the weekend. Easily as good as the first series, really enjoyed it again.

yes

In fact better IMHO. The first series I kept thinking 'someone just put a bullet in her head - you've had ample opportunity', but loving how the lines are now blurred and we have no idea who are the good guys and who are the baddies anymore, so who is protecting who?

I enjoyed it, but it was total bks in every way, it made no sense whatsoever.


Good characters, some funny moments but the story was weak, I liked the premise but it just seemed to be made up as they went along.

She was a psycho hitwoman one minute who was mad and dangerous, then the next minute she was subcontracted.

You might want to put spoiler hiders round the above, plus your 'no sense' premise is exactly the point I was making. The story is essentially about two women from different backgrounds, who think they are polar opposites, recruited by superior, mysterious powers to do their bidding without knowing exactly why or who they are working for and realising that they are in fact the same.

Think of some lines from some recent James Bond films for some enlightenment...

I guess when one's young, it seems very easy to distinguish between right and wrong. But as one gets older, it becomes more difficult. The villains and the heroes get all mixed up.

Removed the spoiler, though had kept it vague.

I get the premise, it just seemed all over the place and not really plausible, even suspending disbelief.

Villanelle sort of remind me of a mental psychotic Marmalade Atkins (80s kids tv)
