All shows about hitmen. Killing Eve has a hitwomen. Hitpeople? Assassins - gender neutral. Barry is very bland compared to the other two. I only watched 3 episodes. Ray Shoesmith seems like he might be a decent guy. Killing Eve's Villanelle is a crazed psychopath. She really loves her job. I wonder if every network will have to have an assassin show.

Can't pick the best cause they are all different. Mr. Inbetween is very strange and cannot pinpoint why I like it, but I sure do watch it.

The only one of those I've watched is BARRY, which I loved. But BARRY is very much a comedy. Aren't KILLING EVE and MR. INBETWEEN more drama/thrillers?

Killing Eve does have some humor. So it's more of a drama/humor type show. And it is a very very very good show. I have not watched the others in this poll yet, so cannot compare them.

Jodie Comer is one of the best actresses on television today and well deserved the Emmy this year.

IMDb lists mr inbetween as black comedy-crime drama. Killing Eve as a spy thriller. There's something very creepy about a beautiful psychopath female assassin. I may never get another bondage session again!

I'm always hesitant to stick a genre label on any movie or TV show. I would never describe BREAKING BAD as a comedy, but it was definitely hilarious at times. Same with THE WEST WING or even most Tarantino movies.

But there's no doubt that a show like BARRY is intended to be funny first, with some very dark happenings and great action scenes thrown in.

Says the hitman(619).

I hadn't heard of it before this thread (I love Killing Eve, though) looked it up, saw the preview, and have put it on my "to watch" list. Thanks!

I think you're going to like Mr. Inbetween. You get to see both side of a Sociopath. You root for the guy because, he's great guy. But at the end of the day, he's a hitman.
