Thanks, that explains a lot. Surprised we have not had scenes in London of rain or fog already ?

If you can park your brain somewhere, and just go with the far-fetchedness of it all, I'd definitely recommend keeping with it.
I found the 'background' music too on the nose and certainly not in the background.
But Jodie Cromer is immense, as the saying goes 'her performance was worth the license fee alone'.

Well i watched the first on I-player today and a no from me
Too far fetched and a pity as it could have been a goer.
Guess i'll stick to my Scandanavian noir

Nice try at a comparison, but it didn't quite work!
Just felt at times it was a bit comedy-esque and not something i was personally looking for.

Nah, it's all Hogwarts to me.
Took you 8 episodes to conclude it’s “meh”. Ok.
It's the comedy bit that helps make it though. Brilliant series. While partly made for then American market it's kept it's 'Britishness' and the two lead ladies are superb.
Seem to be spoilt for decent dramas at the moment with this, Bodyguard and Wanderlust.

Nope, not at all.
Quite enjoyed the first 2, so carried on to 4/5.
Was not going to give up having gone so far, and whilst interested how the denouement would turn out, felt it all got a bit far fetched and silly.
Just my opinion, but much prefer, from recent offerings, The Court and Cover Story.
Fair enough. Like I said, I’m only 3 episodes in; I hope I don’t feel the same as you by the end - but maybe I will?
Thanks for the recommendations for other things to watch...

Why is anyone comparing it to a Bodyguard? Totally different programs.

With the content of 'black humour' so far up to episode 5, it reminds me of a Quentin Tarantino esq' style drama IMO
Just watched the second episode and I think I'm falling for Jodie Cromer. If I'm ever going to be assasinated then please let it be her that does it !

I think people are comparing Eve / Bodyguard simply because they are prime time much hyped drama's that are currently overlapping.
I won't be watching anymore of Killing Eve, I'm not good on gore and violence and that Hairpin sequence was enough for me to go off and get the kettle on. I don't have any empathy for either main character either and they have rather blown it by releasing news of a second series before most people have seen an episode. Ergo it should be renamed Coming Tantalisingly Close to Killing Eve, .

I feel his acting depths were tested a little further alongside Rowan.
He was also in 4 Weddings - but where is his boss from .... he seems very familiar ?

It took that long? She's been stunning from the word go.
