Killing Eve S4EP8 recap: The bloody, heartless finale

After four years and just as many seasons, Killing Eve is over. The ending was so abrupt, bloody and downright cold-hearted that the reviews are unanimous in their disappointment.

Writer Laura Neal had her work cut out for this season - as the show has aired to diminishing praise since its stellar opening series, which Phoebe Waller-Bridge left on a cliffhanger ending. Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) departed, leaving the show in the hands of Emerald Fennell.

Fennell had a difficult task with carrying the narrative on, but she did well in producing something that almost rivalled the first in its bizarre irreverence. The third season, this time in the hands of Suzanne Heathcote, didn't “cut as deep”, according to critic and audience ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, but still made for an enjoyable watch.
