“You should never tell a psychopath that you’re a psychopath. It upsets them,” says the psychopathic half of BBC America’s new anti-buddy-cop drama. The eight-episode first season, which kicked off in early April, follows MI5 agent Eve (Sandra Oh) and psychopathic assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer) in a cat and mouse game across the world. With neither women having much they’re worried about losing, they become obsessed with each other, resulting in deadpan (and sometimes disturbing) comic moments that wrangles you in. Showing so much promise that it’s already been renewed for a second season, Killing Eve is worth it just to watch Oh and Comer bat back and forth at each other—and, of course, to see if they’re able to survive it.—Justin Kirkland
