Best TV Scenes of the Week


So I've done posts about my favorite current shows, series finales, and shocking tv moments, but now I thought that I'd share my favorite tv scenes of this past week.  These were the moments that had me glued to the screen, cheering at the screen, yelling, or just in shock.  Here we go...

1.  Eve finally meets Villanelle (Killing Eve): British intelligence agent Eve Polastri has been chasing the elusive hit woman Villanelle for several weeks now.  At the end of this week's episode, the women finally came face to face.  As the episode ended, Villanelle fired a shot directly at her enemy.  I can't wait to see what happens next week.  I couldn't find a clip of the actual scene, but here's the preview for next week.

2.  Emily kills a former Gilead leader's wife (The Handmaid's Tale):  Banished to the bleak Colonies to do hard manual labor, Emily aka Ofglen meets a woman (played by Marisa Tomei!) who was married to a commander, until she was caught cheating and forced into exile.  Emily befriends her and passes on some antibiotics, but it turns out that the pills were really meant to poison her.  Emily can't forgive the woman for her part in helping her husband rape women.

3.  Chaos after Bobby Kennedy is shot (Bobby Kennedy for President): The new Netflix documentary documents the last few years of Robert Kennedy's life, as he helped his brother win the presidency and later ran for the office himself.  The end of episode 3 shows in graphic detail the shooting of Bobby at a hotel after winning the California primary, and the chaotic aftermath.  I could not believe that so much of the event was caught on video.  This video comes from a different documentary about the assassination, but it has the same effect.
