Director Damon Thomas has helmed a total of nine episodes of Killing Eve so far, including all three epic season finales. Here he gives AMC.com exclusive behind-the-scenes access to some of the series’ biggest action sequences, discusses his inspiration (including a scene from The Shining!) when shooting the moody end to Season 3, and reveals his guiding principles in keeping the show’s addictive blend of comedy and violence intact.

The actor chats with amc.com about his character’s tight relationship with Carolyn, Fiona Shaw’s disarming on-set confession, the tragic end to the penultimate episode, and his deep love of omelettes.
