I don't get the negative comments on this season. Sure, it was a bit slow, not many things happened, but it was all about characters growth, especially Villanelle's, I mean, she now wants to break free, to stop with the killing and she was willing to let go of Eve, so Eve could have a normal life, far away from V's dark influence. And there's Eve, who embraced her dark side for a moment, but is scared of it and wants to escape it. So, from that aspect, the season is really good.
Of course there are other things that could've been better. Kenny's death and Niko's story were obviously used as plot devices to make Eve work on the case again and bring her and V together. "Who killed Kenny" part should've been handled better, it's just so unbelievable that he accidentally fell off the roof. But all in all, the season was still strong.
I loved the ending and I'm glad they both turned back and chose each other (at least that's how I understood that scene). So I'm looking forward to seeing what's next season will bring. Maybe they'll work together to bring down the 12, since Villanelle wanted to join MI6.
Anyway, fingers crossed that this gets renewed for S5 as well! :smile:

I honestly think this whole season was a waste of time because I can't even name three things that would make this season relevant. It just feels like pure filler with bad writing. I'm sure I could have skipped this whole thing and didn't miss out on anything.
- I can't believe Bear just suddenly remembered he had a camera installed. What an absolute lame "twist" to solve Kenny's death.
- Geraldine was just... pointless? I thought she might be involved with the Twelve or has some personal agenda, hidden secrets or something. But I guess the whole point of her was to have mommy issues?
- I was hoping for more infos about the Twelve when Villanelle becomes a keeper, but I neither know what a keeper even is nor do I have any more knowledge about the Twelve. Disappointing and feels like a wasted story that Villanelle tried to go up the ranks.
- The ending was okay. I wish I could be more emotionally involved, but the whole season was such a drag that I just feel... numb. It's nice they finally chose each other, but I hope that'll be relevant in the next season because the cat and mouse game gets a bit boring by now. And I hope they'll finish with season four.
