Well, here we are, Killing Eve fans. After four seasons, the thrilling drama has officially come to an end. This season proved a real roller coaster – but did it stick the landing?
I can confidently say “Hello, Losers” took me places I never expected. This finale will live rent free in my head for a LONG time (for better and for worse). You can witness as I become increasingly unhinged in my series finale liveblog below.
Normally I do a spoiler-free review of the episodes, but I think the series finale deserves to be discussed fully. So, check back tomorrow for my full (spoilery) review of “Hello, Losers.”
Killing Eve 408 SERIES FINALE (!) “Hello, Losers” Thoughts
1. THIS IS IT. THE FINAL EPISODE. THE LAST HURRAH. THE ONE THAT’S GOING TO OFFICIALLY DETERMINE IF I ACKNOWLEDGE THIS SEASON OR PRETEND CANON DIVERGED AT THE BRIDGE.
2. First note before I even hit play: part of me hoped they would do an extended runtime finale, but no dice.
3. “You can’t have her. She’s mine” UM EXCUSE YOU GUNN YOU’RE VERY LATE TO THE PARTY HERE AND ALSO SUPREMELY INCORRECT ABOUT THAT
4. Fuck her up Eve!! (Also I think most of us assumed the episode would open with Villanelle showing up to save Eve, and as much as I would have also enjoyed that, I really like seeing Eve save herself.)
5. Eve, this was someone you really should have put forth the effort into making sure she’s dead. Don’t just hit her with a rock and walk away!
6. I can’t tell if Villanelle is running towards Gunn or Eve but it HAS to be Eve right??
7. EVE IS IN A TREE. God I love chaotic dumb Eve so much.
8. As does Villanelle, clearly.
9. OMG EVE JUST DIVE BOMBED GUNN FROM THE TREE
10. Villanelle’s gonna get to see Eve’s new skills 🙂
11. Eww the eyes
12. Alright girlies, if nothing else this finale is going to provide us with another opportunity to create parallel gifsets of Eve and Villanelle watching each other kill.
13. Eve if you bring up the Twelve ONE MORE TIME instead of your feelings OH MY GODDDD
14. “This is why you’re here?” CALL HER OUT VILLANELLE!
15. “You know why I’m here. You want this as much as I do.” Double meaning much?
16. Gunn’s still not dead??? Eve, come on, you’re better at killing people than this.
17. Ok Villanelle and Eve escaping on a boat, with Villanelle waving while Eve gives the finger *almost* makes this whole unnecessary Gunn plot worth it.
18. “I NEED YOU, VILLANELLE. I CAME ALL THIS WAY TO BE WITH YOU.”
19. HELP
20. We’re doing it! We’re having a conversation about feelings!! And it’s early enough in the episode that it can actually go somewhere!
21. (I mean it’s one-sided for now so not a conversation exactly, but Eve is being honest and straightforward for once!)
22. OH NO VILLANELLE PICKING EVE UP AND SWINGING HER AROUND IS SO CUTE
23. Apparently Hugo’s a thing again. I thought his one earlier appearance this season was just gonna be a little cameo tbh.
24. TRAPPED BY THE STORM TROPE TRAPPED BY THE STORM TROPE GIVE ME THAT GOOD CONTENT PLEASE
25. Oh boy oh boy we’ve got soft cable knit sweaters and hot drinks by the fire everyone!!!
26. Someone should do a scientific study on why wearing a cable knit sweater makes you at least 300% more attractive. (Knives Out Chris Evans 🤝 Killing Eve Jodie Comer 🤝 sweaters 🤝 murder comedy = my pitch for ideal media content)
27. “How did you guys meet?” Both: “She stalked me.” LMAO
28. “She tongued my boss” HELP
29. Also it’s so funny to me that neither of them mentioned the grievous bodily harm part of their relationship
30. True couple goals is exchanging a knowing look of disgust with your SO when you see another couple being overly cutesy in public.
31. The twin scars thing is DEFINITELY because the writers know about all the Villaneve fan theories about their matching scars, right? This is definitely leading up to something with Eve and Villanelle’s scars, right?
31. “I think I might kill them.” “I think I’m gonna help you.” This is all we’ve wanted!!!
32. Oh boy, we’re about to get a ~symbolic~ Tarot card reading. I literally just paused the episode to write this down because I can already predict where this is gonna go. Villanelle will get something like the Tower for her troubled past. Probably the Lovers for present. (But if the writers did any Tarot research, it will be inverted to show she’s still sort of fighting with Eve at the moment.) And then the final card is gonna be the Hanged Man or Death, depending on how on-the-nose the writers are feeling, to foreshadow a tragic ending. These are my predictions, I am hitting play again, we’ll see how I do.
33. PLEASE EVE LAUGHING AT THE TOWER CARD
34. (I also laughed at the predictability)
35. Also, pretty sure Eve and Villanelle never specifically told these people they’re a couple, but they’ve both assumed so anyways. Nothing new really, we just love to see it.
36. The Sun! Okay, I did not see that coming.
37. “Don’t shove the Sun” I love her
38. Oh I see, Eve wants hers done now. They’re gonna pull Death for her instead.
39. Yup.
40. Killing Eve. We get it, creative team. You want us to suffer.
41. (ALSO NOT TO DERAIL WITH A TAROT DISCUSSION BUT the Death card isn’t really meant to signify literally dying. It’s about endings and transformation and new beginnings…)
42. I will give the episode this: They are keeping the Carolyn scenes very tight. Either they’ve run out of ways to drag out this plot until the end, or they really do know we will lose all patience for anything that’s not Eve and Villanelle in this last episode.
43. Villanelle trying to reassure Eve about the cards while they do the dishes together… The domesticity of it all…
44. “There’s no such thing as fate.” “Really? What’s this then?” HHHHHHHHHHH RED STRING OF FATE RED STRING OF FATE!!!
45. “You’re a lot today.” “I’m a lot every day.” I LOVE THEM YOUR HONOR
46. ARE YOU TWO OKAY SHARING A SLEEPING BAG?
47. AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
48. KILLING EVE SAID THERE WAS ONLY ONE BED.
49. I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT. THEY ARE DOING THE SCAR TOUCHING THING!!! I am passing away. I am deceased.
50. Paris S1 shot framing but everything is different now… It’s about… the parallels…
51. “Shall we steal their stupid camper van?” This is a marriage proposal
52. WHERE is my Eve Villanelle road trip series?? That is the ONLY spinoff I want to watch.
53. They’re such idiots I’m obsessed with them.
54. I’m going to die from how cute they are right now.
55. DON’T YOU WANT ME BABY!! I can’t believe this is a Villaneve song now
56. If this show is giving me all this GLORIOUS content only to actually kill Eve after her one (1) perfect day with Villanelle I am going to be LIVID
57. lol Eve like “I am clearly miming curly fries”
58. Villanelle calling Eve a psychopath for how she eats fries… incredible
59. Dude… are we really going to… talk about Bill?
60. Ok not exactly talk, but I’m surprised they acknowledged him together.
61. Carolyn: “Rough day. Think I’ll plunge fully clothed into a dirty lake and float around for a bit.” A mood, somehow
62. THEY ARE PEEING IN THE BUSHES TOGETHER
63. Killing Eve finale said we’re about to speedrun this relationship and also fill it with a bunch of off-the-wall stuff you would never have thought to ask for
64. (If we get “peeing in the bushes together” but not a kiss though I am going to commit a murder)
65. SHUT UP!!! CHEEK KISS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
66. (Previous threat retracted.)
67. At the least sexy time possible. Have I mentioned I’m obsessed with them?
68. Both of their shy little smiles,,,,
69. EVE TAKING HER HAND
70. OH MY GOD IT’S HAPPENING. VILLANEVE ENDGAME BABEY!!!
71. IS THIS REAL LIFE IS THIS JUST FANTASY
72. IT’S REAL THEY’RE REALLY KISSING OH MY GOD
73. And *joyfully* my heart!!!!
74. Look it’s really a power move for Killing Eve to say “yeah we know so much of this dynamic is based in violence and toxic behavior and pure sexual tension but actually that doesn’t take away from their capacity to be genuinely soft and joyful and loving in the purest sense either”
75. Villanelle really feels like she’s friends with Carolyn now, I love it.
76. Villanelle tearing up as she says her goodbye to Konstantin… my heart
77. Love that Villanelle’s like “Carolyn my girlfriend is clearly pissed at you so I gotta wait til she leaves the room to copy your sick air guitar moves but don’t worry we still homies”
78. Shout out to Pam for turning Carolyn down. Nothing good could come of that for you boo.
79. SURPRISE KISS!!!
80. (Me to me looking at the amount of time left in the episode: don’t say it could be the last one ever. Don’t say it. Don’t.)
81. Eve is really about to use officiating a gay wedding as cover to talk about her feelings…
82. “The beauty in your relationship will be found in the ways you reunite.” !!!!
83. (Said to an instrumental cue from “Tell Me” (aka the bridge song)!!!)
84. HELLO, LOSERS
85. I’m losing my MIND this is so funny Eve just leaving it all on the dance floor of this wedding while Villanelle kills off the Twelve in the other room.
86. Also the fact that Killing Eve said “we know it literally does not matter who the Twelve are, we’re not dedicating serious screen time to this, we’re barely even going to show you anyone’s faces,” is so funny. Like narratively speaking with what the show has focused on for the last two seasons, this is awful.
87. “Don’t you mean *we* did it?” Uh ma’am your dance moves are not that kind of killer
88. WHO’S SHOOTING THEM?!
89. Here’s where all the boat/water imagery of the season has been leading to…
90. VILLANELLE IS TAKING SEVERAL HITS HERE I AM
91. Of course they’re going under the bridge. Of course they are.
92. BETRAYED BY THE PARALLELS
93. DON’T GIVE ME SISTINE CHAPEL HANDS THIS IS RUDE
94. CAROLYN? UGH.
95. Why would Carolyn even want them killed though? How could that possibly benefit her? She knows damn well they were just about to ride off into the sunset, never to be heard from again.
96. Eve, you better dive back down there and get your woman!!
97. Ok anyways so weird how the episode ended two minutes early while Villanelle was in the middle of a sentence. Strange choice for the series finale but it’s okay, I can fill in the gap myself.
More on the Killing Eve series finale to come…
This 40-minute episode took me 90 minutes to get through because I had to keep pausing to write all my thoughts and replaying scenes on repeat. I am simultaneously blown away by the level of Villaneve content, devastated by the ultimate ending, and baffled by the bizarre pacing and resolution of the series’ plots in this finale. I have a lot of thinking (and recovering) to do, but check back tomorrow for my very comprehensive review of the Killing Eve series finale.
