Killing Eve (2018–2022)

Eve's life, a security agent at MI5, changes forever when she uncovers the activities of the assassin Villanelle.

'Killing Eve' is a thriller type series, with an investigative theme but also full of humor and cynicism. It has an original style, unusual for the genre, which goes perfectly in the atypical context of the life of a spy/assassin, at least on-screen. The similarity in style with Fleabag that comes to one's mind from time to time, especially due to the dialogue, is not accidental considering that the current series was created by the same mind, namely Phoebe Waller-Bridge's.

Creator:  Phoebe Waller-Bridge   

Duration:  4 seasons of 8 episodes (42 minutes each)

Channel Zero Season 1 - "Candle Cove" (2016)

A child psychologist returns to his hometown where sinister childhood memories unearth supernatural dangers.

'Channel Zero' is an anthological horror series made by Sify, each season having its own independent story. Candle Cove is the first season and it's a mixed result. It starts promisingly and seriously, unsure at first of the supernatural influence that becomes more and more prominent with each episode. The rhythm is slow from the beginning, a fact that initially helps the suspense and the mystery, but when it becomes a constant feature, it gives the more and more obvious impression of a flaw. The style of the story and the involvement of the children are often reminiscent of the kind of storytelling specific to Stephen King.

Director:  Craig William Macneill and others   

Production:  Sify   

Creator:  Nick Antosca   

Duration:  4 seasons of 6 episodes (44 minutes each)   

With: Paul Schneider, Fiona Shaw, Luisa d'Oliveirae
