Killing Eve
2018 · 4 Seasons · BBC America · Thriller / Drama
Killing Eve burst onto the scene with a first season that redefined the spy thriller through two magnetic lead performances, razor-sharp writing from Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and a cat-and-mouse dynamic crackling with tension and dark humor. Each subsequent season brought a new showrunner and a noticeable step down in quality, culminating in a final season that left most of its audience feeling shortchanged. The first season is exceptional television by any standard. The complete series is a cautionary tale about what happens when a show's creative identity fractures.
