If you haven’t caught on to “Killing Eve” yet, just know this: Before the new BBC America spy drama premiered last week, it was already a hit with critics and renewed for a second season.
The first show introduced audiences to the seductive assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer) and relatable Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) — who is described in the show’s logline as a “bored” MI5 officer engaged in a cat-and-mouse hunt with a killer.
While Eve is bored in a way, star Sandra Oh told TheWrap that it’s better to describe her as having “plateaued.”
“Bored is not the right word,” Oh said in our recent interview.
