BBC America's 'Killing Eve' Is Murderously Fun
Down the dial from your local PBS station, BBC America debuts Killing Eve, a murderously fun cat-and-mouse game starring Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer and more.
Konstantin: So she slit her own throat?
Villanelle: It happens.
British TV is well-known for its famous detectives. In the period piece vein, there's Sherlock Holmes and Hercules Poirot. In the more modern eras there's Inspectors Morse and Lewis, and DCI John Luther, just to name a few. But the boy's club needs to move over and make space for a new detective in town: Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) of BBC America's newest series, Killing Eve. This show is fantastically fun and Oh (of Grey's Anatomy fame) represents a great new kind of female lead detective to anchor a British crime serial. Helen Mirren’s Jane Tennison would enthusiastically approve.
