“Villanelle’s initial disappointment with the contents of Eve’s suitcase is fascinating. That moment spins tension out of something television rarely uses well: the brutal private affinities created by personal taste. The show would collapse if Villanelle found Eve boring; that scarf literally saves it. Clothes tell Villanelle something crucial about Eve, and she uses that information. While Eve tries on dresses for an unwanted dinner with a Chinese source she’s being forced to cultivate — and fails to find one that works — Villanelle, who’s spying on her, surreptitiously hangs the perfect accessory outside her dressing-room: a belt. This is playful, pernicious caretaking.”
