Killing Eve poster

Shows that feel likeKilling Eve (2018–2022)

A security consultant hunts for a ruthless assassin. Equally obsessed with each other, they go head to head in an epic game of cat-and-mouse.

If you loved Killing Eve, the closest series we have are The Fall (2013), Monk (2002) and Surviving Escobar - Alias JJ (2017). All three share Killing Eve's gritty and contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Godfather of Harlem (2019).
