Well done
"La femme Nikita", "Point of No Return", "Red Sparrow" and now this. All good movies with strong female leads(among other similarities). Good acting, great cinematography and a well played out storyline. This one has plenty of action, sex and intrigue. If you enjoy spy movies, this is a good one. Worth a watch.

Not bad
This spy-thriller turned out pretty decent. Not the greatest movie ever but it was better than expected. The acting was good and the cinematography was, too. The story was ok. The science part not so believable, but when is it, usually? Anyway it made the story interesting. This one is worth a watch.

A Solid Spy Thriller With Laughs
Killing Eve is a BBC series based on the novel, 'Codename: Villianelle.' It stars Sandra Oh as Eve and Jodie Comer as Villianelle. Both are brilliant in their respective roles and are the main players in driving the show forward. They are supported by a very strong supporting cast as well, with everyone selling their character convincingly.

There are a few twists and turns that keep you guessing, but there are also a lot of spy story clichés present in the series. These aren't too offensive though, as I don't think that the show's main focus is to break the mould when it comes to spy thrillers, but instead to take its audience in an exciting espionage story while giving us some laughs along the way.

Speaking of which, the humour in this show doesn't take away from the gripping narrative, but instead adds to the show's charm. I will admit that it took me a while to get fully on-board with the show's off-kilter tone and quirky humour, but thankfully more of it lands than misses.

I am not familiar with the source material, so I am not sure how accurately it has been adapted. I don't even know if the novel contains the same odd tone or humour. It has intrigued me enough to go and read the book though, which is always a good sign.

Overall, this is a fun spy thriller. It is not going to break the rules of the genre, but it will keep you engaged throughout and give you a couple of laughs for good measure.

Watched the final episode of this last night and totally agree with everything you've said. However, wasn't impressed with the final 10 seconds or so of that last episode - obviously wanting to make sure that it gets a second season!
