Score Breakdown
The Review
Killing Eve's first season is a masterclass in tension and obsession. Phoebe Waller-Bridge adapted Luke Jennings's novellas into a spy thriller driven entirely by the electric chemistry between Sandra Oh's Eve and Jodie Comer's Villanelle. Comer's performance — by turns terrifying, hilarious, and heartbreaking — is the breakout of the decade. The later seasons declined, but that first season is extraordinary.
Fun Fact
Jodie Comer learned multiple accents for the role, performing convincingly in Russian, French, Italian, and several English regional dialects — all as a native Liverpudlian.
