“Killing Eve” is a critically acclaimed British spy thriller television series, produced for BBC America. The show, which premiered in 2018, is based on the “Codename Villanelle” novella series by Luke Jennings.
The series revolves around Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh), an intelligent but bored MI6 security officer whose desk-bound job does not fulfil her fantasies of being a spy. Villanelle (Jodie Comer) is a mercurial, talented killer who clings to the luxuries her violent job affords her. When Eve connects a string of assassinations to Villanelle, she’s tasked with capturing the psychopathic assassin, leading to a cat-and-mouse game that blurs the lines between obsession and attraction.

18- Eve: I think about you all the time. I think about what you’re wearing and what you’re doing and who you’re doing it with. I think about what friends you have. I think about what you eat before you work and what shampoo you use and what happened in your family. I think about your eyes and your mouth and what you feel when you kill someone.

21- Eve Polastri : “I believe there is a female assassin operating internationally and she’s targeted a number of influential people. She doesn’t have a signature, but she certainly has style and I don’t know who or what is behind her, but I don’t think she’s slowing down and just that interested me, I guess. But also apparently makes me a fantasist and a crackpot and completely on my own. And, you know, frankly, I don’t give a shit anymore. She is outsmarting the smartest of us, and for that, she deserves to do or kill whoever the hell she wants. I mean, if she’s not killing me, then, frankly, it’s not my job to care anymore.”
