I am utterly baffled by those that have slated this concluding episode, it was absolutely bonkers, wild, and it defied the rules, which is exactly what the previous episodes did. What's been so refreshing about this series is that it's dared to challenge convention, the usual format for what passes as drama is turned on its head, and Killing Eve concludes with a worthy episode. Plenty of action, lots of intrigue, and a scenario where hunter and hunted meet, but don't quite know what to do I'll admit the final scenes were totally bizarre, I didn't expect that one bit, fortunately a second series is pending.

It was always going to be a case of expect the unexpected, bravo Phoebe Waller-Bridge. If awards don't follow for Comer and Oh, there simply is not justice. 8/10

While I think that the first episode of Killing Eve was by far the best one, this finale was satisfying, unpredictable up until the last minute, and well executed. Oh and Comer give strong performances, and I really liked the direction, how the script kept us guessing throughout the episode, and the atmosphere created by the music in the background. 7 out of 10.

The chemistry with Villanelle and Irina was off the charts. They had me in stitches!!!

There have been a couple of BBC shows recently that got plenty of praise, but generally I find myself watching shows I'm many seasons into, rather than dropping into new ones which are probably one-offs anyway; this is how it was with the much-hyped Bodyguard and Killing Eve. Despite this I started Killing Eve and quickly got taken in by the superficial slickness and sense of violent fun that it had. The brisk pace that is has is consistent across all aspects of the show, from the look, the music, the writing, and the performances - it is very well put together.

While it doesn't move much below the surface, it fills that level out well with characters and relationships that we engage with - or at least engage with to the extent that we invest in the show, even if we don't so much in the characters. The performances support this, and there are a lot of strong performances in here. Comer has a lot of fun, which is what her character is all about in this season; lots of wardrobe changes and cool sequences. Oh, on the other hand, has a tougher job as she has to balance the drama and the dark comedy - essentially she has to make us believe in her character and the wider world in which she lives. She does this really well in an excellent performance that enables no end of silliness to have that anchor is something stronger; Comer gets all the hype and press coverage but it is Oh that holds it all together. The supporting cast are strong too, which helps - with Bodnia, Boyd, Haig, and others rounding out the cast. Direction and general presentation is slick and very well packaged, which again is all part of the consistent style and approach of all the other parts too. I noted at the end of the season that the showrunner Waller-Bridge won't be leading for season two, which does make me wonder if it can repeat that consistency again, but we'll see.

It is all fluff to a certain degree, but it is consistently good in what it does, gets it mix of tones just right, and flows well across all of it. Not as important as some would have you believe but certainly very entertaining.

They ended it lik this jus because 😂 they think surely we would not be approved with this.. Jus playing with us..they could closed it before last 5 mins....

The writters are such a villanelles

DIssapointing, this word perfectly sums up this episode. All that hype goes down the drain as the characters degrade to silliness and ultimately we're right there where we started from.

Writing 10/10 Acting 10/10 Music 10/10 How many accents can jodie comer do? she needs some recognition Da QUEEN also got a new writer in phoebe waller bridge fleabag and killing eve she's killing as well

Killing Eve, Season 1 Episode 7, Excellent episode

This episode had a bit too much silliness. Not as good as the other episodes by far.

At this point Eve has confronted Villanelle 3 or 4 times? What do you want? To kill her? Put her back in jail? Have sex? The obsession is silly without an end game. But I guess we need a reason for season 2

A totally ridiculous end to an enjoyable series. Very disappointing.

It's a relief to read other reviews that represent my own feelings about the last episode and the series as a whole. It just went downhill after the second episode, with my incredulity increasingly being strained. Were we meant to take it seriously? In particular, how could any organisation trust such a loose cannon as Oksana?

I had to make a bit of an effort to stay with the last episode and don't feel too bothered about watching the second.Looking back, the most commendable aspects were the settings, including the prison interiors, and Jodie Comer's performance.

Nowadays too many films and TV dramas try to be clever - and end up with their audiences becoming disillusioned.

After being glued to this season this last episode was unsatisfactory and ridiculous. As others have said: a disappoing end to what had been an enjoyable show.9

No spoilers. Just my thoughts. I'm close to 50yrs old, and have seen my share of stereotypes, and people do things for particular reasons. And what I've noticed time and time again, is that people don't just suddenly become incongruous with who they were, as happened here in this last episode of Season 1. People who want to be astronauts and train and exhibit signs every day of their desire and fervor to be an astronaut, just don't suddenly talk about being an astronaut over lunch and then proclaim that they have suddenly 'seen the light' and now want to be a janitor for the rest of their lives. The way a person goes about interacting with the world just doesn't change in the course of a few minutes. For example, Superman doesn't use guns and knives to fight, so you wouldn't see Superman do that in any of his scenes, however that is basically what the writers here have done in this last episode - i.e. the basic M.O.s of characters in this TV Series is thrown out the window and they start doing things totally incongruous with who we have seen them to be. This is highly unrealistic even for a drama such as this. They might as well develop and start using an unknown super-power, that is how unbelievable the final scene is.

You have to gradually set-up how people change. Game of Thrones did this well, developing their characters over a number of seasons, giving you enough back story to understand how they changed. Doing it in the course of one episode, nay, even in one scene is just too much, too unbelievable. While the motives for the people doing what they did at the end of this episode might have sounded 'thrilling' and 'suspenseful' when the plot/script writers were putting it down on paper, even the director should have picked up how the audience needed to be carried through the change process gradually.

There are so many other more realistic and just as dramatic ways the main protagonists could have interacted in this final episode that actually would have made it more dramatic and more believable... something that the audience could relate to on some meaningful and equally powerful, gripping and thrilling level.

I am a big fan of less is more. The final scene in particular should have ended about 2 minutes before it did. That way, the script writers could have carefully constructed the next episode to develop the characters as they were. Developed more back story and engaged the audience with something they could believe in and relate to more.

That's really what this episode feels like. It's all wrong. The characters, while somewhat 'over-dramatically' flawed (yes I get it's a drama and can look past some of the over-dramatisation of the characters) in their own ways, have not shown any signs of really doing what they did in this episode, before now. There are so many flip-flops in the final scene it leaves the viewer wondering what on earth is going on - and not in a good way.

It's about striking a balance between predictability and unpredictability. Realism and fiction. To my mind the scripting and directing did not take that on board for this episode. The actors, production and editing did their best here. No, the blame for this episode being so poor in many people's eyes lays somewhere on the shoulders of the writers and director.

From here on in it will be hard to believe anything form a real, flawed person point of view as I cannot trust the writers to portray real motivations sensibly or accurately anymore. I half expect anyone to do something thoroughly -out-of-character now which takes away from the real human 'drama' that could have been unfolding before our eyes. Arghhh!

I gave it 1\10 primarily for the last scene which ruined everything that came before it (which wasn't too bad, if I am to be fair). :( :( :(

Maybe if they had cut the last 2 minutes out and continued with what we saw there, then this episode would have scored at least a 7/10, maybe even higher. However I'm sorry to say they didn't, and so a 1 is the score it gets. Such a sad way to end the season. :(

Nothing to add really - enjoyable blackish comedy etc. Descended into nonsense.

This episode sucked. I have really been enjoying the series although I've wondered about the casting of Sandra Oh. Jodie Comer is ver good though.

I sense the writers have borrowed heavily from the Luther formula, which will work for maybe another season, but viewers will lose interest without some sort of closure.

So series one comes to an end in its own twisted bizarre fashion.

Villanelle is on the run but she has taken Konstantin's daughter, Irina has a hostage. Irina is bright but can also be annoying. Villanelle needs to get hold of some money, passport and complete her assignment. That is kill Konstantin.

Meanwhile Eve keeps upsetting her boss and keeps getting fired.

The eventual showdown between Eve and Villanelle was never going to go down as expected. It did threaten to go down a sapphic route but Eve pulls off a surprise.

The obsession between the two characters and the way they treat other still has unanswered questions.

It has been a darkly humorous whipsmart series. I did think that the final episode ran out of gas. I was certainly impressed with Kim Bodnia's performance the most in the finale. He showed Konstantin as a man of more layers and he never slept with Villanelle.

Enjoyed the start of this series. As it kept going however I just started to find the characters more annoying. So many chances to end this by eve and none taken. Just annoying.

I am appalled by the last scene of this season finale. I fully understand the creative desire to keep "ramping it up", but the writers (including the utterly amazing Phoebe Waller-Bridge) just flat blew it. I feel I've wasted my time watching several well-crafted episodes that I presumed/hoped were leading to a juicy, satisfying finale. I feel betrayed. I hope the second season/series does well, but I won't be watching.

I expect more profound insights.

it just try to give a comic laugh to people. it is my mistake to think more k
