So far Killing Eve’s third season remains engrossing, surprising, and strangely funny (like when Villanelle gets an incurable case of hiccups over the prospect of seeing her family again). It’s also casually brutal, something that continues to give the series its edge. Still, there is something fresh about this new exploration of what has become an old dynamic, and the episodes get better and deeper as the season progresses.
It takes three episodes of an uneven but sporadically shocking third season for them [Eve and Villanelle} to cross paths again, but it's worth the wait. [27 Apr - 10 May 2020, p. 11]

SEASON 3
It’s still entertaining, often wildly so, and the performances alone are enough to guarantee that much week after week. But scattered amongst those great moments are some that feel like passable if pale imitations of what was.
Like the second series, it is still a high-quality, high-wire act, but it cannot quite match the verve and wit of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s original episodes. A further burden now – and one shouldered by any subsequent series after one based on a cat-and-mouse premise – is that the artifice is showing.
The show is committed to fascinating female characters—and it’s particularly rewarding to watch Oh perform her character’s deep grief and despair, lending surprising dignity to her disheveled sweatpants and plastic bags. But something about the humor skews horribly wrong. Villanelle has become so murderous that it's difficult to enjoy her humor. ... Killing Eve feels safe.
Once fresh and thrilling, Killing Eve has grown stale and predictable. It’s 2020, and phones still click and whoop when texts are sent. The humour is weary.
Not as compelling as it always had been this scene runs around lost not sure where it wants to go. At least we are still committed to the story through consistent performances from Sandra &Jodie. Delving into Villenrlls character felt like a misstep to me her intrigue was enough and settled in season 2 what should've been confronted here is Eves inherent pull to Villenell and what her ordeal has meant to both of them.

SEASON 3
After a splendid first season and a competent second season, Killing Eve crashes and burns. The only aspect worthy of praise is Fiona Shaw's acting. Oh and Comer deliver acceptable performances, but far from the genius they displayed on previous seasons. The script is terrible. It's a total waste of time of a season. Avoid.
