Killing Eve's Sandra Oh explains the love story and crazy obsession between Villanelle and Eve

It all boils down to the lack of common ground that these two polar opposites have, which makes them so interesting to each other
PUBLISHED APR 5, 2019

'Killing Eve' might be a classic spy thriller with a fumbling agent trying to track down a meticulous serial assassin, but there's a lot more going on alongside the chase and run. The reason the BBC America show was able to garner the critical acclaim and popularity it did with its debut season that came out last year, is because this is not your regular spy thriller.

This is a show about unconventional women characters, in roles that have been traditionally associated with male characters, and the icing on the cake happens to be the unexplained obsession that the two lead women have for each other. In a way, 'Killing Eve' is a spy thriller with an equally intense love story, even though it directly never claimed to be one.
