Killing Eve is finally coming to Netflix
Post updated on 24.4.16. Please see the updates below.
One of my favorite television genres is the spy thriller. I also love a good cat-and-mouse detective series. BBC killing eve It’s a bit of a cat-and-mouse spy thriller, and the first few seasons are some of the show’s most exciting, off-kilter, and darkly comical.That makes Netflix

This series is based on the novel by Luke Jennings Codename Villanelle It is made up of four seasons.
killing eve Sandra Oh plays Eve Polastri, an MI5 analyst who becomes embroiled in a series of unfortunate events due to her obsession with a notorious assassin. Soon, she finds herself working for her MI6, but her involvement is off her books.
Jodie Comer plays assassin Villanelle. She’s kind of a psychopath, but she’s also oddly endearing, even though she’s a cold-blooded murderer. Soon, both women become infatuated with each other.
Other recurring actors/characters include Karlin Martens, head of MI6’s Russian branch, played by Fiona Shaw, and Kim Bodnia, who plays Villanelle’s handler Vasilyev.
The first season of the show remains the best one. Written and produced by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who created and starred in the wonderful Limited Edition series. Fleabag—By far the most exciting, tense, and weirdly funny. Season 2 is still going very strong, but with Waller-Bridge no longer writing the scripts, it’s finally starting to show signs of faltering.
I’ll admit that things were clearly slipping by season 3 (each with new writers on board), but it’s still entertaining enough — just not as magical — and season 4 is a complete, unrelenting disaster (The show fell off Rotten Tomatoes at 96%) Season 1’s score dropped to 92%, Season 2’s 92%, Season 3’s 80%, and Season 4’s final, disastrous 53%, which made it less popular to watch. ’s score closely mirrors the critical score).
Still, even if you only watch the first season or the first two seasons;killing eve It’s well worth your time. Personally, I have never regretted watching the first few seasons, although I had to stop watching at the end (sometimes I do that instead of wasting my time). Jodie Comer’s Villanelle captivates in every scene and remains one of the most fascinating assassins on television. It’s a shame they didn’t stick with the landing, but it seems like very few shows do.

hannibal
I wanted to add a recommendation to this post for those who enjoy it killing eve And the strange and obsessive power relationship between the two main characters. This isn’t your typical spy thriller, but it’s definitely a cat and mouse game where cat and mouse are strangely attracted to each other.
hannibal, The drama, which first aired on NBC in 2013, is another series with a very similar dynamic. The story follows FBI agent Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and his hunt for a nefarious serial killer and various other mysteries. He is assisted in the investigation by Hannibal’s Dr. Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), a brilliant psychiatrist who harbors some dark secrets of his own.
for fans of silence of the lambs, This is a real treat. Much like Anthony Hopkins’ portrayal of Hannibal Lecter in this film, Mikkelsen brings his own dark and fascinating character to life. Dancy’s troubled agent is also an incredibly well-written character, and watching their relationship grow and change through its terrifying twists and turns is both exciting and frank. It’s also strange to say so.
Rounding out the cast are Laurence Fishburne as Graham’s boss, Jack Crawford, and Gillian Anderson as Lecter’s psychiatrist and lover, Dr. Bedelia du Maurier. Eddie Izzard plays Dr. Abel Gideon, another highly educated murderer. And Caroline Dhavernas plays Dr. Alana Bloom, a psychiatrist and lecturer who is an advisor to the FBI and a close friend of Graham.
Although this series is primarily a psychological thriller, it’s full of tense action, bloody murders, and all the shocking developments you could want.What you can currently watch hannibal On Amazon Prime Video.
