How is this bland slop the basis for the masterpiece that is the show

First of all, I like the premise. I think it’s really intriguing, but I made the mistake of watching the show first. I like the show better. That’s it’s own issue though.
Parts of the plot and the writing seemed kind of juvenile to me. But that’s certainly not going to stop me from reading the other two books.

So, it was a fun ride, but not my favorite.

"Codename Villanelle," which is the inspiration for the hit TV series "Killing Eve," ultimately proved to be a disappointment, falling prey to the fallacies of the quintessential male fantasy.
