10 Best Female Antiheroes On TV
1. Killing Eve - Villanelle
A chaotic and uncontainable presence on Killing Eve, Villanelle is a talented assassin who develops a mutual attraction and obsession with MI5 operative Eve Polastri. Villanelle is a force unto herself and lives her life as she sees fit. She is psychopathic and deranged but all she really wants to do is have fun.
Everything she does, she does in style, with her lavish lifestyle being a clear motivation for her actions. Villanelle is not evil but she's extremely driven by her own self interest and the idea of being rewarded for her murders brings her as much joy as committing them does.
Jodie Comer brings a devilishly fun appeal to the role, as Villanelle is like a big child that just wants to play all the time. Her social interactions are a highlight of the show as she clearly just doesn't appreciate the accepted etiquette of societal norms.
As Villanelle becomes more of a central focus going forward, her abnormal antics will continue to be equally hilarious and awesome to watch unfold. Villanelle manages to be both a compelling and interesting antihero but also just a lot of fun whenever she's on screen.
