6 Years Later, Best Cat-and-Mouse Spy Thriller Ever Finally Joins Netflix
Obsessed with each other, a brilliant security officer and a psychopathic assassin are playing their dangerous game of catch — and now, they’re doing it on Netflix, too.
Many crime-fighting duos have that special connection between them, from Holmes and Watson to Castle and Beckett. But none of them can quite match the hypnotizing energy between two brilliant minds on the opposite sides of the law obsessed with each other. Their cat-and-mouse games and unique chemistry add that extra spark or a thousand to any show, and we have the prime example of it here.
Killing Eve Became an Instant Hit
In a world filled to the brim with detective stories, Killing Eve was a breath of fresh air: in 2018, this TV show immediately took over charts and hearts and minds. Following a sharp and ultimately underrated security officer and an unmatched assassin with a taste for all things luxurious, Killing Eve put two brilliant minds against each other, making their fates and thoughts intertwine like no other.
BBC’s Killing Eve proved to be the perfect cat-and-mouse spy thriller and an amazing adaptation of Luke Jennings’s novel Codename Villanelle. If you’re tired of generic detective stories and thrillers, it will show you the other side of these genres.

One of BBC’s best thrillers, Killing Eve quickly ascended to the top: the show’s first two seasons raked up great sensational 96 and 92% Tomatometer Scores, respectively. Sadly, the show’s writers kept changing with every series, and it later fell off, with Season 3 scoring only 80% and Season 4 being a 53% dumpster fire.
But give those first two seasons a go, and you won’t want to let go of the show, anyway. On April 15, 2024, Killing Eve finally landed on Netflix, making fans just a bit happier. Apart from Netflix, you can also watch Killing Eve on Max, Apple TV, and Prime Video. Don’t forget to put your best toxic shippering glasses on for the watch, and say hi to Villanelle for us, will you?
