THE BINGE

KILLING EVE

I watched all four seasons of Killing Eve. If this were the 90s or the Aughts, I would have bought the fricken VHS or DVDs. If it ever comes off Hulu, I will buy it. The characters are crazy good, deftly played by Fiona Shaw, Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer and Kim Bodnia. The plot is a screamer. I never am good at following the details. But the pacing, dialogue and humor is brilliant. Like Amelie was an assassin. Phoebe Waller-Bridge wrote a bunch of episodes and it drips with her brand of rebellion to the mundane and celebration of saucy macabre.
