London - Mapped in Drama

Killing Eve: Obsession, Style and the Assassin Who Turned Murder Into Theatre

Killing Eve turns spy drama into obsession, style and danger. Eve and Villanelle chase each other across countries, but the real thrill is watching fascination become its own kind of violence.

Suspect: Grief, Interrogation and the Parents Who Cannot Let Go
