Killing Eve (TVNZ OnDemand)
The murderously good, darkly comedic-thriller Killing Eve returns for its fourth and final season and has promised to go out with a bang. The show is about the cat-and-mouse tension between a psychopathic assassin and the MI6 agent hunting her down. Things get squirrely after both women breakthe norms of their respective codes after developing a mutual, yet no less deadly, obsession with the other. At the end of the last season agent Eve and Villanelle, the stylish assassin, had agreed to part ways with the latter unexpectedly finding God. But as most people know, a clean split in a break-up is rare and Killing Eve proves that even murderers and secret agents have trouble letting go. First two episodes streaming Sunday, then new episodes weekly.
Worst Roommate Ever (Netflix) Part of the flatting experience is dealing with the odd bad flatmate who leaves dirty dishes in the sink, is always late with their share of the bills or never cleans the loo. This new documentary series shows that bad as they may have been, they could have been worse. A lot worse.
