Killing Eve is mediocre at best. Some very far-fetched plot holes.
The acting is very weak and hammy at times . After watching 4 episodes I started asking myself ‘Why am I watching this? And couldn’t answer it!’
There’s better ways to waste time!
**One of My Favorite Shows of 2018**
The show is great for a number of reasons but the biggest reason is it's character building. The show does a very good job of pulling the viewer in with its aesthetics, locations, and humor but Eve and Villanelle are amazing characters.
Ultimately, it is a "Cat and Mouse" story that comes across as fresh and new. You will find yourself falling in love with Villanelle and rotting for Eve to catch her.

This show hits the sweet spot between Spy Mystery adventure and Comedic thriller. The main characters are so boldly drawn and some of the action and plots so fantastical that the viewer would be forgiven for continually thinking...satire. Yet, the series stays true to a "real life" plot which it wants you to take seriously. Jodie Comer does a fantastic job of getting us into the mind of this off kilter psychopathic killer. Eventually, I think we do understand Villanelle who turns out to be the show's real protagonist. I'm not sure if Sandra Oh choice as Eve Polastri was a genius casting decision or an epic mistake. Either way, she did an excellent job as first a foil then a lost soul. The others, as I said before, seemed properly over the top in the espionage or police and crime genre to be recognizable yet also unique. I give great credit also some inspirational writing which created many brilliant individual vignettes and memorable exchanges. Yes, I knew these characters were not 'real' but I just loved to hear them talk. Something refreshing and surprising.
Really rough. Don't like either of the main characters, but especially so Eve herself. There's also some serious over-acting going on.
