Killing Eve
Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 2018

Bored with her protection role within the British intelligence agencies, Eve Polastri is overly interested in female assassins, their psychologies and their methods of killing. However, to her delight, she is recruited by a secret division within MI6 chasing an international assassin who calls herself Villanelle. Both women begin to focus less on their initial missions in order to desperately learn more about the other.
