Killing Eve poster

Killing Eve is a stylish, darkly comic British-American spy thriller built entirely around the electric mutual obsession between a bored MI5 security officer (Sandra Oh) and a psychopathic assassin (Jodie Comer). Its tone is singular: it plays the cat-and-mouse genre for wit, eroticism, and psychological unease in equal measure, treating its villain as the show's gravitational center. Seasons 1–2 are near-universally praised as fresh, tightly written, and thrillingly performed; Season 3 is considered a step down but watchable; Season 4 is viewed by the majority of reviewers as a creative collapse culminating in one of the most divisive series finales in recent memory. The show's legacy is defined by Jodie Comer's breakout performance and the chemistry of its central pairing.

From the reviewers

Jodie Comer gives a breakout performance here. This show made her to be a A-list actress and one of the most sought after actresses working today.
She and Comer have wonderful chemistry together, sizzling at its best. Kim Bodnia steals every scene he's in and Fiona Shaw, one of the better things about Season 3, brings nuanced authority to her role.
Killing Eve manages to be funny, smart and thrilling all at the same time.
plots takes the second plane and the focus goes to the characters dinamic and their tongue-in-cheek dialogues, making this show feels different, fresh and entertaining
It is a very slick and stylish looking show, loved the thriller film like photography. The music is suitably haunting.
