KILLING EVE

Anyone watching Killing Eve? Think it's brilliant, all actors are very good and story is very gripping. Jodie Comer is very glamorous but obviously psychotic in her quest to kill everyone in her way. It's up there I think with The Bodyguard. Just want to watch the whole series.

I started watching but I turned it off when she was killing someone, it was gruesome and I really wasn’t in the mood for gruesome. I hope to go back to it as it did seem good. I believe the whole series is available on iPlayer.

We liked it. A bit of nonsense for Sat. night, and all the actors seemed good. Looking forward to the next one. I shall try not to binge on Iplayer.

We liked it as well. DH doesn't do binge watching (apart from The Crown as he has no choice) so I'll have to be patient and wait for the next episode.

Binge watching I'm afraid - too exasperating not to!

Oh yes very good I shall wait for the next episode though. Not much else on Saturdays.

Watched half and switched it off

Brunette10 Mon 17-Sep-18 17:14:28

Not your cup of tea BlueBelle?

BlueBelle Mon 17-Sep-18 17:26:15

I don’t know I probably didn’t give it enough time but I didn’t believe in the characters or see anything that drew me in Maybe I was to quick to judge Brunette but it didn’t beckon me

We are all different Bluebelle.

Just started to watch this and love the quirkyness of the characters.

It is a bit gruesome in places but i must admit i am hooked.
Makes a change for a young woman to play the baddy too.

Bluebelle I found it too "slick" and formulaic. Husband liked it so I shall pretend to watch episode 2 whilst I knit.

Did nothing for me.... I wondered was it a spoof series and kept napping as I also did a crossword.

Seeing the good comments here perhaps I should give it a second chance.

It was a bit odd and I found it funny at times. I will watch next week as it was out of the ordinary. I like a bit of gruesome !!

Maybelle Mon 17-Sep-18 19:13:56

Watched half, really enjoyed it and then went to sleep in the middle !

NanKate Tue 18-Sep-18 18:14:41

Not my scene even though I usually like quirky. It is now off my to watch list.

Mr C liked it, I had half and eye on it, the rest on the iPad. Don’t think it’s for me but it might grow in me I guess.

seacliff Tue 18-Sep-18 21:26:47

I liked it, apart from the violent bits. I always fast forward through them!

gulligranny Tue 18-Sep-18 21:44:55

Absolutely loving it. It's so quirky and even funny, which is an odd thing when the "heroine" is a psychopathic killer ...
The whole cast is great but Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh are both brilliant. I've watched 3 episodes and am going to binge the rest on Saturday, I can't wait!

I loved it too and found it very funny . Refreshing , unusual , quirky tale ! Does anyone remember The Assasination Bureau , it reminded me of that and the funny little tune that went with it ?

trisher Mon 24-Sep-18 12:47:01

I love it. Both the female leads are great and even the psycopathic killer is charismatic. Bit bloody in parts but I just look away. Nice to see the actor who played Martin in The Bridge again.

Sparklefizz Mon 24-Sep-18 13:33:02

trisher Thank you for identifying Martin from The Bridge.... I knew he was familiar and have been wracking my brains! confused

trisher Mon 24-Sep-18 14:19:54

You're welcome Sparklefizz must confess I thought he was quite fanciable as Martin and would have liked him to feature in later series, but it was nice to find him in this.

Sparklefizz Mon 24-Sep-18 18:18:30

Yes, he is fanciable, trisher .... I agree. Now if he was on Strictly .,...... blush .... goes off into a daydream.

NanKate Tue 25-Sep-18 16:17:51

I will give it another go as so many of you like it. I will report back.
