Bring the biscuits, leave the dumplings…or Ode to Killing Eve Part Deux

Judging from my previous post about Killing Eve, you might get the impression that our obsession (okay mostly Rina’s) with the series revolves primarily around the brilliantly maniacal Russian assassin Villanelle, played by the spectacularly gifted Jodie Comer. However, let me go on the record by declaring Sandra Oh, who plays the complicated, impulsive, and…

Make Mimi’s Irish Coffee, tuck…

Comic: The Nose Plays!
