It’s a classic cat-and-mouse suspense story, with lots of procedural drama in the mix as well as some sly humor and psychosexual playfulness that is all over “Killing Eve.”
The cast’s skilful performances compensated for a rather overwrought and occasionally clumsy script, a little too much in love with its own literary references and stagey speechifying.
As far as genre efforts go, it’s a rather run-of-the-mill game of cat-and-mouse, although its engaging leads—and a few unexpected twists—go some way toward alleviating its familiar action and superficial engagement with its thematic concerns.
The format has potential for great drama, but in this case both sides are underdeveloped. ... The first episode of We Hunt Together is less intriguing than its staggered timeline suggests it will be. We’re not expecting things to get any better from there.
