Based on the novellas by Luke Jennings, Killing Eve centers on two women; Eve is a bored, whip-smart, pay-grade security services operative whose desk-bound job doesn't fulfill her fantasies of being a spy. Villanelle is an elegant, talented killer who clings to the luxuries her violent job affords her. Killing Eve topples the typical spy-action thriller as these two fiercely intelligent women, equally obsessed with each other, go head to head in an epic game of cat and mouse.
I don't see much sense in MMA (or boxing) either. ;)
MMA is the only fighting sport that makes sense (not counting Krav Maga, which isn't really a sport), boxing on the other hand does not make sense at all - and in that video you can see how the boxer loses instantly :)

Oh, when I'm not watching TV series, I'm busy with concussions-rich sports :D It's completely doable to finish the scene and cry later when you hit your head in a simple fall. A lot of actors have broken bones while doing their own stunts and these scenes are in the movies.

Probably they improvise. If an actor is dedicated and not a crybaby, I assume in such case stuff just looks more natural and you can deal with your concussions later :D

And not all women are made from glass, MMA fighter Angela Lee was fighting in one fight while having a severe pneumonia and even won. I think everybody who ever had a pneumonia can imagine how hardcore is that :) Here is that fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwC5jnVAJLg
Fighting with a severe pneumonia? I call that silly, but then I don't see much sense in MMA (or boxing) either. ;)

I'm just watching 2x01. At 24:07 Villanelle falls onto the floor (I think that's not a spoiler, given the amount of fights in the show) and her head really hits the floor.
I've wondered about that in similar scenes (in other shows) before: how do they shoot such a scene?! I doubt that they stop production for 2 or 3 days so the actor/actress can cure their (at least) mild concussion (or abuse stunt(wo)men for that)... is it CGI?

In most shows people fall in a way that they can prevent their heads from hitting the ground (like using their arms as a cushion or falling in a way that they can use their neck muscles), but in those rare other cases?
