I'm watching this on BBC TV, so have only got to Episode 4, but have to agree with Dubzau's comments - "Peak absurdity and beyond" - and those of PuckerFactor. Highly competent assassins rendezvousing at a station that probably has CCTV, loading their guns openly in a village, an unreliable van, a frenetic car chase through countryside, dozens of shots fired ...
But as we have seen with the Salisbury-Skripal-Novichok poisoning, professional assassins do goof, though I do wonder if in this real-life case the cack-handedness was deliberate so as to send some form of message.
So I'm reserving complete judgement to see if there's some explanation for the apparent absurdity in Episode 4 - and I haven't cheated by looking at the synopses of future episodes.
Judie Comer does make a fascinating portrayal of Villanelle, and I love her assumed innocence of a young girl, such as her pleasure when she's offered cakes by the woman at Frank Haleton's house.
