I'm wondering what the shots of Irina listening to Tanya singing and intercut with closeups on Tanya's mouth as she sings and Irina's expressions when it cuts back to her could mean. Are they setting something up or is Tanya gonna become more important as it goes on?
your question made me find that article i read a week ago😅 and here's what it says plus commentary from Agnes:
The people being surveilled have to watch what they say and do, but the very act of surveillance deeply affects the spies themselves. Irina becomes obsessed with Tanya Markelova (Ruby Ashbourne Serkis), the carefree wife of one of Star City’s top cosmonauts. “She spent hours of her life listening to her and she’s fallen in love with her,” O’Casey says “She's so lovable. She's everything Irina's not."
i think the key point here is that Tanya is everything Irina isn't. and that's probably exactly what made Irina so obsessed with Margo. which also makes me worried about Tanya's future. i think there was a scene in the trailer where she was walking through a forest (maybe trying to escape the kgb??) Tanya is probably only in the show to show us the origins of who Irina eventually became, and how that led her to be obsessed with Margo🤷♀️
