Eve ist zwar extrem Schlau, sitzt aber beim Geheimdienst hinter ihrem Schreibtisch fest und langweilt sich entsprechend. Villanelle dagegen liebt das High Life und umgibt sich mit jenem Luxus, den sie sich dank ihres brutalen Jobs leisten kann. Beide Frauen finden sich schon bald in einem großen Katz- und Maus-Spiel wieder, geprägt von der Besessenheit von der jeweiligen Gegnerin.
Based on the novellas by Luke Jennings, Killing Eve centers on two women; Eve is a bored, whip-smart, pay-grade security services operative whose desk-bound job doesn't fulfill her fantasies of being a spy. Villanelle is an elegant, talented killer who clings to the luxuries her violent job affords her. Killing Eve topples the typical spy-action thriller as these two fiercely intelligent women, equally obsessed with each other, go head to head in an epic game of cat and mouse.
