A girl is no one. That's definitely not something you can say about Maisie Williams in her new show, Two Weeks To Live.
Then again, that statement has never been applicable to the actress because for TV fans everywhere, she literally grew up in front of their eyes on a certain fantasy show.
On first look, Williams' new role as Kim Stokes will definitely draw comparisons with Arya Stark.
Both are misfits that live a sheltered life, they both crave adventure in a bigger world, and oh yeah, they can kill you within a split second.
However, when paired with the socially awkward Nicky (Mawaan Rizwan) and his caring but carefree brother Jay (Taheen Modak), the Emmy-nominated actress really gets to flex her comedic chops - something that comes very naturally when Balls catches up with her, Rizwan, and Modak for a chat.
As for the plot of Two Weeks To Live, Kim (Williams) was just a little girl when her father died in murky circumstances.
Following his death, Kim's mother Tina (Fleabag's Sian Clifford) whisked her away to a remote rural life of seclusion and bizarre survival techniques. Now all grown up, Kim sets out into the real world for the first time to begin a secret mission of honouring her father’s memory.
On her journey, she bumps into socially awkward Nicky and brother his brother Jay at the local pub. After one of the clumsiest attempts at a pick up ever, it sets in motion a chaotic series of events that puts all their lives in danger.
In terms of tone, imagine a dark comedy that infuses Hanna's idea of an adolescent killing machine with the jet black laughs of Pulp Fiction and In Bruges, but splash in The Bucket List there too for good measure.
Murderous gangsters, shady police, pop-culture galore, and even a scene with Space Raiders - the kings of crisps - are all packed into Gaby Hull's script.
Yep, it's that kind of show and it works, mainly due to the chemistry between the leading actors.
Having led a secluded life where she's raised to be a killing machine, it's telling that the only films that Kim has seen are Home Alone 2, The Shawshank Redemption, The Terminator, and Braveheart.
During the chat with Balls, we had to know what other titles the cast would add to this prestigious list but that's not all.
The discussion also involves their most uncool moments, strange party tricks, brotherly bonds, and who's the best singer of 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston.
Take a look.
Two Weeks To Live is available to watch on Sky One and streaming service NOW TV from September 2.
