If you're looking for another BBC America series that will have you hooked from the first few minutes of the first episode like Orphan Black did, then Killing Eve is it. In the first five minutes, the series premiere, titled "Nice Face," introduces us to the two main characters (who will soon be involved in a game of cat and mouse) in the middle of everyday activities (enjoying ice cream and having to go to work hungover on a Saturday), but in such a way that you know there's so much more to them (treating a little girl in the shop cruelly and working for MI5).In its first episode, the new series demonstrates exactly why it should be your next TV obsession (though 'addiction' may be a better word). This isn't just another crime drama, and you'd be doing yourself and it a disservice if you call it such. The main characters are smart, complicated and a bit twisted and fun. It's a show about spies and assassins and murder, but there's a humor to it that, even when inappropriate, adds to its entertainment.
