Look like Hollywood does not want gay couples to have happy endings. Killing Eve is the latest victim of the dreaded "Bury Your Gay" trope that has taken the great series down despite its very magnificent run time. 

Killing Eve premiered on Prime in 2018 and has been a great adaptation of the original three thriller novels by Luke Jennings. The series debuted with a great run time through the entirety of its four seasons. 

Very unfortunately, the ending of the show did not stand at par with the rest of the series and was a terrible letdown from the wide scope that the season finale could have had. Many fans and critics have joined together to voice their frustration against the season finale aired on April 10. 

The last episode of the series has now become the lowest-ranked episode on IMDB with a ridiculous 2.8 rating to its name. It is almost a payback by the audience to the creators for giving in to the "bury you gays" trope since they could have actually created a much better ending. 

But it is not only the fans of the series that are highly against the ending of the show. The author of the novels on which the show is based also revealed that he is not very happy with the series finale herself. 

In her latest write up for a column for The Guardian, the author shared his views about the controversial ending of Killing Eve Season 4. 

Killing Eve is a thriller series starring Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer in an assassination trope along with an enemies-to-lovers plot following the two ladies. Sandra Oh plays a crime investigation agent Eve, and Jodie Comer plays an assassin Villanelle from Russia. 

The two had been pitted against each other but they found ways to come closer while always knowing that they were supposed to be hunting for the other. Yet, fans had always nurtured the hope that Eve and Villanelle would find a way to come together, especially as Villanelle had renounced her old ways and was working on redemption by walking on a religious path. 

The two finally realized their undying love for each other when Villanelle was shot by Gus during their attempt to flee Switzerland. They come together in a heartwarming moment, sealing their love for each other. 

Their romance gets a few moments to grow as both Eve and Villanelle make way to escape the place together in the van of a couple they just met. The two get to savor some moments of untarnished romance until Villanelle bids adieu to Eve to kill off The Twelve. 

The two come together in a cozy scene as they finally get to meet aboard the ship that would finally take them to a new world devoid of all the bloodshed that had been following them. Sadly, their moment of bliss is cut too short when Villanelle is killed off abruptly. 

Needless to say, Jennings is not very impressed with the fate of the character that he herself created for her book. The author is of the view that Villanelle deserved better than the ending he received in Killing Eve's finale. 

Voicing his dissatisfaction with the TV adaptation of her work, the author shared that it is always an honor to be recognized for your work and get your books adapted. While it is obvious that the author will not have complete control over what happens to their characters and might not even agree with the show all of the time, they are close to the characters they have built and would wish the best for them. 

The author practically lives with these characters as they give them form, shape, and stories and they occupy a great amount of headspace of the writer. Though it is amazing to see the screenwriting team try different things with the characters, there is only too much that they should change. 

Jennings also maintained that he has always had the utmost appreciation for the show, the crew working behind the scenes, the writers, and the actors who helped his book characters live. However, the ending of the series was a great shock to him despite all the gratitude that he has had for Killing Eve. 

Jennings is concerned about the fact that the series played right into the overplayed trope of killing gay partners in cinema works. It is almost obvious that the series confined itself to the rules and regulations as set for same-sex affection and hence was too afraid of conventional setups to try and break out of the box. 

The series did not explore the dynamics of the relationship between Eve and Villanelle even though they had a lot of scopes before it went and killed off an integral character of the series. The story however had the potential to defy the stereotypes against same-sex intimacy and could actually present a bold ending instead of the week finale that left Eve all alone. 

It would have been a much better ending to see a crime-fighting agent get together with an actual assassin, need not mention how powerful their combined talents could have been. 

However, the author was happy to give a spoiler to his own book and share that fans will find Eve and Villanelle coming to a much more satisfying ending in the book series.
