Killing Eve: Season 4

4x08 Hello, Losers

Can't believe this episode ended with them hugging and absolutely nothing else happened after that.

In all seriousness, I thought we as a society were over killing sapphic characters for shock value, but I guess not. What a disappointing conclusion to a horrible season. Phoebe Waller-Bridge created such a fantastic show and Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer consistently knocked their performances out of the park, and for what? Season 2 was already a letdown, but after that the show just became a parody of itself and it was clear the new showrunners had no idea what to do with these characters. The last 3 minutes of this ep were pure clownery. How groundbreaking to kill off one of the leads and leave the other in anguish. I hope Laura Neal doesn't cut herself on all that edge.

I guess at least Sandra got a Golden Globe, Jodie got an Emmy, and they got to dive tongue first into each other's mouths. Good for them. I hope their next projects treat them better.

@aniela-krajewska I don't disagree, but are you really suggesting sapphic protagonists should get special plot armour?

@tesbreag actually no, but if the lead of a show is going to die, i expect it to make sense narratively, be meaningful and have repercussions on the story. V's death happened out of the blue in the last 3 minutes of the series finale and it was clearly meant to shock the audience and not much else. Given the nature of the show, I wouldn't have been fundamentally opposed to her (or both her and Eve) dying, but it could've been done so much better.
