Eve Myles has praised her The Crow Girl co-star Katherine Kelly as "extraordinary" and "breathtaking" in the thriller series. The duo play DCI Jeanette Kilburn (Myles) and psychotherapist Dr Sophia Craven (Kelly) tracking down a murderer in the adaptation of Erik Axl Sund's bestselling Scandinavian novel.
Co-Stars Exchange Praise
Katherine Kelly told Digital Spy that Eve was "astonishing" in the drama. Meanwhile, Myles expressed how "proud" she felt of Kelly, who became a household name playing Becky McDonald on Coronation Street between 2006 and 2012. "I cannot give you a single scene where Katherine Kelly is not extraordinary," Myles said. "I don't use that word lightly, but she is extraordinary. Breathtaking. Bold, ambitious, tender, beautiful." She described Kelly as "absolutely a sensation" in the show, which also features Dougray Scott.
Series Reception
The first series of The Crow Girl airs on Channel 5, while the second series is available on Paramount+. Audiences have called the narrative "a masterpiece" and praised the "great acting" and "suspenseful" plot. One IMDb reviewer wrote: "Dark and gripping, Crow Girl is a murder mystery series that masterfully blends grim themes with sharp, intelligent writing." Another fan said: "It's been a long time since a show kept me glued to the TV episode after episode. I watched this in one day and I am thoroughly left hanging with bated breath for season two." Another described it as "a challenging watch but very clever."
Plot Summary
The show's synopsis states: "When the bodies of unidentified young men start to show up around Bristol, beaten and full of the anaesthetic Lidocaine, police face mounting pressure and little evidence as they hunt the killer. As more bodies surface - including a child missing for over 10 years - the killer edges closer to home, starting a race against time to untangle a web of secrets."
