Killing Eve

[Maggot]

Really enjoyed the first episode of this programme about a female assassin and an MI5 officer who tries to catch her. Exciting and quite funny in places. The whole series is now on BBC3, but I might wait for broadcast.

It's really good and great music

 

[bellaozzydog]

Really funny, well written and very engaging, looking forward to the rest of the series

I've seen the whole series and I enjoyed this too, both lead actresses are fantastic. Always been a fan of Sandra Oh, who often gets "best friend of the heroine" sidekick roles, so it was great seeing her in the lead. I don‘t remember Jodie Comer from anything, but she plays the most entertaining homicidal psychopath I’ve seen in a long time. The last time I’ve seen an actress having so much fun with with a role like, that was Linda Fiorentino in The Last Seduction.

Why was Sandra Oh blamed for the murders in the hospital? She only sneaked in to interview the witness

She was fired for failing to save the witness as she was on guard duty.

She was in Thirteen as well which I really enjoyed.

The Villanelle character reminds me a bit of feral assassin Helena from Orphan Black, that same kind of nonchalance and dark humour, although Villanelle has more style.

I watched this over the weekend and absolutely loved it. I love Sandra Oh - I just love her face - and Jodie Comer was fantastic in that role. She really went for it and created an absolutely compelling character. Also loved the music as other have said. Lovely to see Martin from The Bridge as well!

Best thing I've seen in quite some time and I really hope there is a series 2.

 

[Hellsbells]

I watched episode 1 of this yesterday after reading about it on here and thought it was great. Thanks Urban

 

[catinthehat]

It has been a bit spoiled for me by the fact that she has found my green scarf with zebras on it which was my total favorite and I lost it. They seem to be making a feature of it and rubbing it in.

Just started watching this and really enjoying it. I'm only on the first episode.

 

[not-bono-ever]

everyone happy with the later plot and location scenes? not as strong or cohesive as it could be I think

Soundtrack is great, yes. And I knew I’d seen him somewhere before!

Sandra Oh is indeed fantastic. I never watched Grey’s anatomy but she was great in Sideways. And I like the interplay she has going with David Haig. He’s a great comic actor, was brilliant in the Thick of It.

 

[8115]

I loved all of it. Can't wait for the second series.

It's got such amazing female characters, makes you realise how aimed at men a lot of other stuff is and this really isn't.

 

[Chz]

It's very silly. But also very funny and highly entertaining. Just what I needed.

 

[lizzieloo]

"You hit me with a log!?"

Series 2 has been confirmed by the BBC.

 

[Kaka Tim]

its great. its full of surprises. its dark and hilarious and stylish and full of wit and compelling characters. Exactly like bodyguard isn't.

 

[editor]

I'm half way through it and LOVING it. Really sharp original writing and great acting.

It's almost like an updated, very dark Minder for the 2010s!

 

[girasol]

Finished it last weekend, please please let there be more! However, the Polish husband, is it me or did he have an Irish accent (especially on first two episodes)

 

[kalidarkone]

Finished it and loved it!

What should a Polish person who's settled in the UK and speaking English sound like?

I know a guy who I assumed was from Northern Ireland because of his accent, I didn't realise for ages that he's actually German, it's just that he lived there for a while and speaks English with an Irish accent.

Dunno, they made a big thing of him being Polish so I expected an accent. Then I thought maybe he went to Ireland first and all was well. He did have an Irish accent though right? Just wondering whether it was just me who thought that.

 

[girasol]

oh, just looking at the actor who played Niko Polastri, yeah it makes sense, he's from Galway! I went out with a guy from Galway for a few years and I guess my ears are still well atuned to to the accent Owen McDonnell - IMDb

Also according to this he was born in England, not Ireland, but that's so badly written I think it may just be made up ... Niko Polastri

 

[Reno]

In the wiki for his character it explains that he is 2nd generation Polish. This is a series about an MI5 agent with an American accent, which gets explained in the most rudimentary way imaginable.

A few things didn't ring true or plausible to me - this pretty much sums it up KILLING EVE kills time nicely, but everything lacks believability ✭✭✭✩✩

HOWEVER, I was having fun watching it because the two main characters were just great to watch!

well, exactly, in the show itself they explained why Eve has an American accent, but not why he had an Irish accent That wiki link I found says he was born in England - England ain't no Ireland!

 

[fucthest8]

It's basicall y very silly, but it's so well written (her from Fleabag) and performed that it's brilliant. Some killer lines.

Spoiler

God it makes me rage how efficient things are when you're a dick to people

 

[Ms T]

I love Phoebe Waller-Bridge's writing!

She's in Dr Foster as the young love rival.
