Killing Eve (2018–2022)
9/10
The whole thing was just...

Warning: Spoilers
Almost perfect! Had it ended at Series 2 it would have got a perfect 10 but Series 3 was weak, Series 4 was desperately trying to find an ending.

The star of this is definitely, without question, Jodie Comer. She is ridiculously good as the beautiful, stylish, psychotic assassin. She has such an expressive face - able to switch effortlessly from anger to sadness to humour. She is simply a fabulous actress. I didn't like the way they messed with her character but I suppose the temptation to show a more vulnerable side was too much for the writers. No-one else could have played Villanelle - she totally owned that role.

Fiona Shaw was also great - and Sandra Oh was good. I loved Carolyn but found Eve a tad annoying as a character but the actress did a good job with it.

Unlike most I don't have a problem with the ending. It was never going to be happy, they were never going to disappear into the sunset together. It was just a question of how and when it would happen.

I'll remember this show for its dark humour, its style, its originality, the music, the locations, and some great acting. It just went on too long but all good things come to an end.
