Okay, let's talk Killing Eve. Specifically, Season 4. You know, the one that ended... things.
The Big Question: How Many Episodes?
So, how many episodes did we get? The answer is simple: eight. Yep, just eight little installments of Villanelle and Eve's chaotic dance.
Eight Episodes? Really?
Eight episodes might sound like a lot. Think about it. That's less than ten! But trust me, with Killing Eve, time is relative.
Each episode felt like a year. Or maybe just a really, really intense therapy session. A very violent therapy session.
My Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves)
Here's where I might lose some of you. Ready? Eight episodes were... enough.
I know, I know! Blasphemy! More Villanelle is always better, right? Well, hear me out.
Sometimes, less is more. And sometimes, a show just needs to wrap things up. Even if it means breaking our hearts a little (or a lot).
Did They Use Them Well? That's the Real Question.
The number of episodes isn't the problem. It's what they *did* with them. Did they use those eight precious hours wisely?
That, my friends, is a debate for the ages. One that could probably fill another eight episodes of just arguing about it.
We had some amazing fashion moments, lets be honest. The plot was interesting... sometimes. It definitely wasn't as exciting as previous seasons.
Let's Revisit That Finale
Okay, can we briefly talk about the finale? No spoilers (too late!), but... wow. Just... wow.
The ending of Killing Eve really divided fans. Some loved it, some hated it. And some are still trying to figure out what even happened.
Maybe if there were 10 episodes, the finale would have made more sense? Who knows! It's all water under the bridge now.
Could They Have Done More?
Look, could the writers have explored certain storylines more deeply? Absolutely! Did some characters get shortchanged? Probably.
But that's TV! There are always constraints. Time, budget, actor availability... It's a miracle any show gets made at all, honestly.
And maybe that's why eight episodes felt sufficient. They gave it all they had in the time they had.
In Conclusion: Eight Is the Magic Number (Maybe)
So, there you have it. Season 4 of Killing Eve consisted of eight episodes. Eight episodes of love, betrayal, murder, and questionable fashion choices.
Whether that was enough is up to you. But personally? I think it was the right length to conclude the story.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rewatch seasons 1-3 and pretend the finale never happened. Don't judge me!
"Oh, the things we do for love." - Probably Villanelle (and me, when it comes to this show).
P.S. If they ever decide to do a spin-off with Carolyn Martens, I'm SO in. She needs her own show. And more screen time.
