This article contains spoilers for 'Killing Eve' season 2.

When critically acclaimed shows that are an immediate hit with the target audience are announced to come back for a second season, one of the biggest points of concern is whether they will be able to match the debut season. The other question that fronts viewers the most is what more is left to be shown. Luckily for 'Killing Eve,' none of those questions were met with disappointing answers as the soon to be releasing second season is every bit as riveting and enticing as the first one, at least that's what the first two episodes available for early reviews reveal.

Kicking off just a mere 30 seconds after the teasing cliffhanger that the season one finale ended on, the premise of this season is the titular MI6 agent Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) realizing she has possibly killed her target assassin, Villanelle (Jodie Comer.) In signature Eve style, fumbling and confused, as the character tries to come to terms with what she might have done, we find out that Villanelle is actually far from dead. There on resumes the cat-and-mouse game between the two that we had seen and adored and grown obsessed with back in season one. But speaking of obsessions, Villanelle is quite possibly going to be really pissed at Eve this season.
