It wasn't very good
thegaleafamily2 March 2022
Having been dazzled by Season 1/2, 3 was OK. But this opener was pretty poor. Was there any funny stuff? I used to have a good old chortle watching this show.

It must be in the water as pretty much most shows I'm watching have had poor seasons, must be a post COVID hangover. The one exception by far is Ozark.

I'll see this season out and hope it gets better.

The other reviews are the best bit...

I have no problem with a continuous stream of brutal human death, the gratuitous murder and torture of men and women but a cat! Well Lordy that's just wrong.

Noooo - How dare they kill a cat!

Sigh... I though this was that the best bit. Because it was impactful, shocking, spoke about the character, and I know that no cats were hurt.

So I'm just though to laugh at the horror that is other people.

Momentum lost
mrrobyoung28 February 2022
Watched two episodes...all the male characters are a variety of fools....it's ok... excellent production but didn't find the story line fullfilling.. bit of a cartoon of itself now which I'm sure will be exciting for some.

Killing Killing Eve
isabellacheng20 March 2022
I am not impressed with the first episode(s) of the final season. Some ideas are worth exploring back in season 3, but I don't think they are appropriate for the final season. As of this writing I have watched till episode five, out of eight. It does get better, gradually, but I am worried they couldn't build up to a good finale.

Just Dunk Me
Prismark1012 March 2022
What is billed as the final series. It starts of with some role reversal. Eve is bad ass as she hunts down the Twelve.

Eve even shoots Konstantin in the hand. He is running for mayor in Russia.

Meanwhile Villanelle tries to be good. She has found religion and is looking forward to be baptised.

Of course Villanelle might also be preparing form her next hit. It also does not take long for Eve's incompetence to show.

The woman from the funeral parlour manages to get the best of Eve.

Meanwhile Carolyn is a cultural attache in Spain. The equivalent of being sent to Siberia.

It is the beginning of some new cat and mouse games. The Twelve look like a deadly foe.

There is a shift in the Villanelle and Eve relationship which is the crux of the story. Maybe tat will shift again as the series goes on.

Subdued start but with some satisfying set-ups
norrgard2 March 2022
Although it misses the punch of a typical season opener, the episode does set up some interesting perspectives. It establishes what might be the apparent character flip of Eve and Villanelle. Or does it? Maybe it's too obvious.

A few new characters add some dynamic, but they are yet to show themselves as having conflict, which was one of the exciting characteristics of season one, the opposing views of Eve and her husband. Eve's new counterpart is clearly the opposite, so seeing where that dynamic goes will be interesting.

A slightly subdued start to the final season but with some satisfying setups.

Loved it...
wickedvampir1 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Knew the episode would be slow the way season 3 ended. I thought it was great. Its a twist to the show to start the final season. Quit being so whiny about it.

And seriously people calling it Satanic because she sees an image of Christ how she envisions him? Its a show about an assassin....it was never about Christ...and wouldn't Christ appear to each person differently?

More of the same.
pauljharris-156106 March 2022
Let's be honest here, killing eve sank after series one. Two was ok, but nowhere as good as one. Just watched ep.1 of series four, they need to put us all out of our misery. Who is writing this ?

What an incredible show rendered unwatchable by another schizophrenic writers pen
jeffkresse-814-3459692 March 2022
This was an incredible show that season 4 episode 1 parked in an avant-garde ditch. We had all waited seemingly forever for the final season only to be rewarded with this absurd episode. Like a drunk driver recklessly driving a great car into a ditch, this episode leaves viewers in a "what happeneded" recovery coma. Some may watch episode 2 to see if there is hope left for this show, many will not. I certainly will not but I do wish goodbye to an incredible series that died the death of a thousand writers cuts.

Awful
adrianpaulchardona28 February 2022
I loved Killing Eve but the new writers and director have literally Killed It. What a bizarre, inexplicable episode! I can only hope each episode gets better.

profoundly bad and uninspired (just like S3)
Incredibly dull. Barely any dialogue or action. No hooks, no emotion, no point to anything. The few lines spoken are as banal and lazy as they come. Better off rewatching the first two seasons, both of which were brilliant. Sad to see an incredible show made unwatchable by obscenely poor writing.

Something changed but not in the good direction!!!
dejus10428 February 2022
I absolutely loved this show when I started back in 2018. And yes the first two seasons where absolutely OK for me. But now ....started with the third and with this forth I do not know at what am I looking. This is not Killing Eve, this is a joke. Please give me back my beloved show, not this caricatured copy of the original one.

Bummer
theahemmer28 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Ok so now this show is a comedy? I'd like to know what happened on the bridge that pissed Eve off. When last I saw they were about to pass out from heartbreak. Boy they screwed this show up. Guess I'll watch Atomic Blonde again. They also screwed up Snowpiercer too they killed Jennifer off. I'm running out of shows.

Jumped the Shark
mmikolas-0003711 March 2022
I really enjoyed season 1. My appreciation for the show gradually declined with seasons 2 and 3. Still, I was looking forward to getting back into the series after such a long break.

This first episode made me realize how lucky I have been for the past two years without it.

The only reason it gets two stars from me is because the acting is excellent. That's it.

This show has always been filled with woke references, but as the writing declined, these references increased (perhaps there's a correlation there). Episode 1 of season 4 has gone all out. While there isn't much in the way of woke dialogue, the entire atmosphere of the show is drowning in it.

Then there's this: I am not a religious person. I'm not even sure which religion is being portrayed (I think Catholic) in much of this episode, but it is obviously a Christian denomination. I couldn't help thinking about what kind of outcry there would be if the events were written to take place in a Mosque, Synagogue, or any other house of religion, or their deities portrayed in a similar fashion.

Again, excellent acting. But that's just not enough to overcome terrible writing and every other aspect of the show.

They have, in my humble opinion, "jumped the shark". There will be no reviews of further episodes from me.

Very disappointing
makrapport20 March 2022
We used to love this show, but season 4 is shockingly bad. We only managed to watch one and a half episodes...couldn't force ourselves to watch it any longer. The writing and directing are substandard. Even the soundtracks are awful. Very disappointing.

Great show once, now garbage.
blondeblue128 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I see that some incompetent nobody named Laura Neal wrote this trash. I suspect she has some hidden sadistic proclivities to have turned Villanelle from an assassin to a murderer of animals. This show is now unwatchable.

Terrible. Incoherent. Not gripping
tobyshjones20 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I loved series one. Series 2 was ok. 3 was not brilliant. Series 4 episodes 1 and 2 were not good. Not exciting not gripping . I'm giving up. Shame. Should have paid original writer whatever they wanted to do series 4. They didn't and it's boring and self indulgent and weird ( Nelles alter ego ) 2 stars for cinematography and acting.

Bad enough and then...
justbeachie-335611 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I was really looking forward to this season as I really enjoyed the last 3 but just a few minutes in to episode 1 and there was a sadistic scene with a cat. Turned it off immediately, suggested harm to animals crossed a line with me. Congrats you've lost a viewer forever.

Animal Cruelty Not Amusing
dgrace-263712 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The pretended killing of a family cat is not amusing. Disgusting. It's one thing to show how violent the human world is and that has always been readily apparent throughout this series. But animal abuse, even fictional, is not funny. This was a cheap "laugh" added by a cheap and lazy writer. Performances by the principal actors of course are always good. Maybe this series should have ended after 2 or 3 seasons,,..

What has happened?
susanxx-76-34857321 May 2022
I have waited to watch this series having loved the previous titles. Why did I bother? What on earth is going on, what is the storyline, why am I wasting my time watching this drivel? Don't expect anything like the previous series, this is a mish mash of scenes that have no connection whatsoever. Go and watch some paint dry!

Catastrophe
mariobu-1186722 May 2022
They managed to destroy one of my favorite series. Unnecessarily, some new characters who do not fit into the environment (Yusuf, etc.) are highlighted. After three amazing seasons of the series, this season is disastrous, I barely stayed awake while watching the first three episodes.

Lost me
alirat9 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I loved the edgy sexy murdery vibes of Killing Eve, but the fist episode of season 4 has lost me. I draw the line at killing pets. The plot is now a confused morass of pointlessness. Is there a plot?

[4.3] Without bad intentions
cjonesas25 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Episode 1: As is the new standard for the series and its final season, a parody of an episode with many characters playing and joggling around, with some loud music score and a now "funny" redeemed Villanelle doing what she does best without bad intentions!
