Killing Eve
“Killer chemistry, cat-and-mouse games, and couture to die for – Killing Eve is a stylish, subversive spy thriller that will have you hooked.”
MI6 desk-bound spy Eve becomes obsessed with chaotic assassin Villanelle, who is equally obsessed back. They flirt, they stab, they ruin each other's lives across European cities in increasingly fabulous outfits.
Season one is one of the great seasons of TV — Phoebe Waller-Bridge's writing, Jodie Comer's wardrobe, that pink Molly Goddard dress. Then the showrunner baton kept getting passed and the wheels came progressively off. By the finale, fans were filing emotional restraining orders. Watch seasons one and two, dabble in three, pretend the rest didn't happen. Comer is still a star-making revelation.
