Killing Eve author Luke Jennings says controversial series finale “bowed to convention”
Killing Eve author has slammed the show’s controversial series finale in a new op-ed. Over the last five years, TV enthusiasts have sunk their teeth into the juicy spy drama Killing Eve.
After delivering 32 episodes of scandalous and jaw-dropping storylines, the series finally concluded on 12 April. Although it received critical acclaim throughout its run, the finale earned mixed responses from longtime fans.
In the last two episodes, Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) and Villanelle (Jodie Comer) finally admitted their feelings for one another in a heartfelt scene.
However, their happiness was short-lived after Villanelle was shot in the chest after a final interaction with The Twelve. Shortly after the finale aired, viewers slammed the episode for the character’s short-lived love story, and the “Bury Your Gays” trope.
