This series is AMAZING. Such a unique plot and well developed events. It was not predictable which made me enjoy it even more. I binge watched this series because it was breathtaking.

I knew beforehand that I was going to enjoy Killing Eve, but I could never imagine even in my wildest dreams that I would truly enjoy (and love) this series as much as I'm. This is one of the best series of the year, but it's also one of the best new series I've seen for quite a while. Not only was it thrilling and interesting when it came to the storyline and its characters, it was also visually beautiful and felt fresh in a wide variety of aspects. Even though the premise of a cat-and-mouse game has been done so many times before, Killing Eve is different - and not just solely because the cat and mouse respectively are women instead of men. This series is much more than just an "our turn" kind of a tale on an otherwise usually male narrative/storyline/genre.[...]Even though the basic premise of the storyline in Killing Eve is compelling enough to wake your interest in it and make you watch it, this series is not even close enough as good if it would've been without the highly interesting and fascinating characters Eve and Villanelle - and in turn the performances by Oh and Comer. Not only is Killing Eve one of the best series of the year, Oh's and Comer's performance is one of the best ones as well and I can't praise them enough. They truly take this series to a whole other level (with the help of the fantastic acting performances of others around them, of course). Both Oh and Comer are captivating and I, over and over again, found myself not being able to look away from either of them when they were on the screen.[...]I'm a firm believer in the phrase "if you like the first episode, you'll like the rest", which is something I used to describe The Sinner as well earlier this year. There I discussed how people often during this time of the year debate which book will be the one everyone wants to read during their holiday. I then declared that The Sinner would be the visual version of that, but with Killing Eve I've a new favorite competing for that first place. The Sinner was very good and addictive (and Biel was incredible in her portrayal of Cora), but Killing Eve is just a little bit better overall. I'm loving the story - and in particular its characters - a little more. It's a compelling story, interesting characters and - maybe above all - great performances by the majority of the cast and in particular Oh and Comer which feels like they were born to play Eve and Villanelle respectively. Not to forget, Villanelle wears some incredible outfits throughout the series which is worth watching for that reason alone (she's definitely one of my new style icons and I wish I could raid her closet). If you haven't had the chance to watch this series yet, see this as your own personal command to do so. You'll thank me. And if you, unlikely, aren't interested in this at all - give it a chance anyway. You'll probably fall in love with Eve and Villanelle, just like I've done.

It's a pleasure to watch Sandra Oh. Her performance and that of a number of the other players is a treat. However, I just can't set aside the horrible story lines. The plot of an international elite killer chased by a dedicated police officer has been with us since Victor Hugo. It should be done better.
How is it that so few are aware of weekly high profile international assassinations?
How is it that MI-5, the police, is not involved but MI-6, the spies, is?
How is it that INTERPOL has not seen the weekly carnage and launched investigations.
Why has the assassin left fingerprints at every killing?
Why has no agency collected them?

I actually created an account just so I could post a review of this incredibly disappointing show. It started off with great promise, as many agree, but went downhill at lightning speed. Unfortunately the veneer of a 'quality show' that the production and cast lend it doesn't hold up beyond maybe the first episode. Then it's pure nonsense: plot holes the size of the Grand Canyon, terrible dialogue, lazy and ridiculous characterisations, and topped off by an overwrought, performance by Sandra Oh that is distracting in its sheer awfulness. In the right hands- with actual writers and a better cast- the premise of the show could have resulted in a gripping, dark, sexy ride over 8 episodes. Unfortunately this mess is not that. Don't waste 8 hours of your life.
