What is Killing Eve about?

Killing Eve follows the story of two fierce women engaged in a game of hide and seek spanning across Europe, that sees quite a few murders along the way.

Villanelle is a terrifyingly intelligent psychopathic Russian assassin who, through various disguises, is able to do her job with originality, flair and not one ounce of compassion. Eve Polastri starts the series bored in her desk-job at MI5, but after becoming obsessed with Villanelle, she begins working for MI6 where she dedicates her career to chasing Villanelle around the globe.

Throughout the series, Eve and other MI6 operatives attempt to fight fire with fire by using Villanelle to kill other international criminals, whilst Villanelle develops an obsession with the idea of her and Eve running away together.
