Perfect is a strong word, but Killing Eve is a series that merits those. ... Everything that worked so well in season one is back in essentially the same form, and it’s working again.

Killing Eve is still a fantastic and well-made show that is not only worth celebrating for any number of its own obvious merits, but worth embracing for taking a familiar set up and crafting it into a series that is also refreshing and new.

Убивая Еву изумительный сериал. Операторская работа на высоте, но не идеальная, если сравнивать с сериалом Эйфория (в котором операторская работа вышла на новый уровень). Также свет в каждой сцене выстроен так, будто настроение героев связано с ним. В совокупности с работой монтажера, от нее невозможно оторвать взгляд, некоторые сцены хочется пересматривать раз за разом. Стилисты проделали невероятную работу, даже если вы никогда в своей жизни не замечали во что одеты герои, то уверяю вас в этом сериале вы будете с нетерпением ждать появление Вилланель, потому что ее наряды никого не оставят равнодушными. Визажисты тоже постарались на славу, ни один синяк или капля крови не выглядит искусственно. Локации подобраны таким образом, когда в сериале проходят действия, например, в Барселоне, то вы действительно почувствуете себя там. Саундтрек подобран очень грамотно и в каждой сцене звучит очень лаконично, не мешая просмотру, но и не остается забытым после его окончания. Сценаристы очень детально проработали сюжет, в котором Ева и Вилланель прописаны настолько глубоко и детально, что при просмотре переживаешь сильнее, чем за чем либо другим. Каждый герой развивается из серии в серию, вы не найдете даже второстепенных героев, которые бы не изменились на протяжении всего сериала. В сериале нет филлерных серий, ни один диалог не кажется вымученным или излишне пафосным. Актерская игра Джоди Комер (Вилланель) заключает в себе высшую актерскую работу, благодаря которой, вы мгновенно забываете, что смотрите сериал, а приходит чувство будто вы живете в их мире, ни на секунду она не выходит из образа, не переигрывает и в ее глазах можно увидеть и прочувствовать каждую грань того, что на чувствует. Все тоже самое можно сказать про всех актеров, которые играют главных героев. О чем сериал: нам рассказывают историю агентши Евы Поластри, которая находит себя в наемной убийце Вилланель, которая благодаря своим грандиозным перевоплощениям умудряется быть невидимой для всех, кроме самой Евы. Давно не было таких детективных сериалов, от которых захватывает дух. 10 из 10 Советую всем.

Killing Eve is a helluva good time, it’s already more interesting than many of its genre peers, and the first season illustrates a self-awareness essential for its survival. The show may follow a formula, but there’s nothing routine about it.

Killing Eve is attempting something rare, wild and risky. It may not always hit its chosen targets, but it’s usually entertaining to watch it try.

Season 4 has taken several steps back, once again separating Eve and Villanelle and putting them into different stories for the bulk of the first three episodes that were available to screen for critics.

After a brilliant first season, Killing Eve lost some of its mojo in the second, and seems more listless in the third. Built around a game of cat and mouse between an office-bound MI6 investigator and a mercurial assassin, it continues to offer darkly amusing moments thanks to its splendid cast, but at this point, the main thing the show seems to be killing is time.

Once fresh and thrilling, Killing Eve has grown stale and predictable. It’s 2020, and phones still click and whoop when texts are sent. The humour is weary.

An off-the-wall great show that jumps the shark big time. Killing Eve had been on my radar for a couple years by the time I got around to watching it, but I had no idea what to expect, only that friends had enjoyed it and it got some buzz online. When I watched it, I was instantly hooked, and burned through the 4 series in probably just under a week. The first two series' are phenomenal, but the show just seems to lose its way during Series 3 and 4. It introduces the Twelve as the big group of villains, but from what I can recall just doesn't really do anything with them until the final episode or couple episodes where they're dealt with very quickly and with not much fuss. The earlier seasons with Eve and Villanelle exploring their relationship with each other, how drawn they were and how entwined their motives became were where the show shined. I also seem to remember them upping the comedy in Series 3 and 4, which I felt ventured on being a little too on-the-nose for the show's earlier style. A good watch, but didn't leave me feeling satisfied.

Jodie Comer’s fantastic performance is the only reason this show gets a 6/10. Season one had poor writing and an abundance of logical plot holes, but the novelty of the characters — mostly Villanele— carried the show. Unfortunately, this novelty wears off in season 2 and they do a terrible job developing the remaining characters. The poor writing becomes unbearable. Such a shame really, the show could have been so much more...

SandraOh is probably the worst female actress I've ever had to endure. She plays a lesbian role and you only see her kiss a woman twice in four seasons. From one episode to the next and sometimes one scene to another Sandra will have vastly different motivations or behaviors you start to feel like she has multiple personality disorder. I finally started being able to enjoy the show by skipping every scene that included horrible acting from Sandra o h. I've also got to say that the show is flawed from the core. The whole plot revolves around a very childish interpretation of what it takes to be a spy. Hilarious that the writers think you can take a girl with family problems and "teach"her to be an expert killer by just making her go out and attempt to kill someone alone. It never shows any type of formal training or even informal training of any kind. Where do these girls learn expert level hand to hand combat, advanced knife skills and everything else it takes to murder people and evade detection.Local Police would have solved any one of their "jobs"In a few days tops. But you're telling me that even CIA, FBI, & MI6 have not been able to track down these girls who are essentially teenage runaways that committed murder. Another waste of my life, thanks Netflix

Very good first season, completely runs out of steam halfway through the second season.
