Killing Eve

Recommended by Laura Messersmith

in response to Rebecca

In need of good scripted tv to dive into. I’m an actor, husband is a writer, so it’s gotta be quality. We’ve watched the big, obvious ones. Not hot on franchises, procedurals, standard network fare. What are your snobby, smarty, oddball favorites? International is fine, we’ll spring for an obscure streamer if it’s worth it.

Smart, stylish, wicked (dark) humor, fantastic locations, and at times truly heart pounding action sequences.

The cast is so talented - Jodie Comer should be a bigger star - and obviously Sandra Oh is a treasure. Watch out for an awesome supporting players with special mention for Fiona Shaw.

I've watched the first 2 seasons... thanks for the reminder to go back!

I do think the first 2 seasons are the strongest - if memory serves PWB left the writing team at that point.

Have you seen Furious (Hulu) yet? If you liked Killing Eve then I'd recommend it. A little darker, less campy, but very very well done.

Furious is fantastic!
