18 Best TV Moments Of 2018

9. Dinner - Killing Eve

Killing Eve
BBC America

After four episodes of the high stakes cat-and-mouse game between Villanelle and Eve, the pair were finally brought face to face in the fifth episode, I Have A Thing About Bathrooms, when the villain decided to invite herself over to Eve's place for a spot of dinner and a little chat.

Their tête-à-tête, knife and all, absolutely revels in the wit of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and co, but it also speaks to the show's greatest balancing act: you're never quite sure if the game between Villanelle and Eve is going to spill over into murder or sex (or even both).

Their dinner table conversation is absolutely brimming with danger and deceit, but also attraction and longing. You're never quite sure which way it's going to go, and it leaves you on the edge of your seat, holding your breath, waiting to see what happens, the only part of which you can expect is that it's brilliant.
