March 28, 2019

If you still haven’t heard of the BBC America hit “Killing Eve,” honestly, where the hell have you been? Sandra Oh made history as the first Asian actress to win two Golden Globes by winning Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series — Drama for her role as Eve Polastri in this BBC America series and, dare I say, it’s her best work yet.

For those living under a rock, “Killing Eve” is a television series that follows a London-based MI6 operative, Eve Polastri played by Sandra Oh, who has been hired to track down the charismatic, psychopathic assassin, Villanelle, played by Jodie Comer.

According to the BBC, “‘Killing Eve’ is the story of two women, bound by a mutual obsession and one brutal act.” The classic cat-and-mouse game becomes complicated as the two women and their drastically different yet parallel lives become entwined as the chase develops into an intense obsession.

If you haven’t started this brilliantly addictive show yet, season 2 is set to premiere in less than a couple weeks, so here are 15 reasons why you need to start binging this show ASAP.

1. Sandra Oh is a magnificent queen and her performance as Eve Polastri alone makes this show a 10/10.

2. It’s the perfect show for anyone obsessed with true crime or dark humor and fans of another BBC America classic, “Orphan Black.”
