“Killing Eve Season 4” Review: The Female Killer That God Can’t Save

For those who like American dramas, this week is a blessing, not only “Killing Eve Season 4” is here as promised, but also “Peaky Blinders Season 6”, which is also a surprise return.

Today only talk about “Killing Eve Season 4”. Originally, I didn’t have much hope for a play with two women as the protagonists. I was naive because women’s plays are not good-looking.

Who knows, I glanced at it, but I couldn’t pull it out again. It’s like, the exotic beauties with charm, they are not only beautiful, but also full of charm and full of mature taste.

In the previous stories, “Eve” played by Sandra Oh and “Villanelle” played by temperamental beauty Jodie Comer, the emotional story between these two people is unstoppable.

One is a British MI5 agent and the other is a Russian genius killer. The love and murder between these two people, the story of sadomasochism, gives people a sense of excitement.

The feeling of watching this American drama is like a child who is afraid of watching ghost movies, covering his eyes while watching the plot through his fingers, reluctant to miss a little detail.

New beginning, character reversal

“”Killing Eve Season 4″” The story is very bright right from the start.

A figure riding a motorcycle and wearing a helmet appeared at the gate of the town government.

Judging from the promotional portraits of Konstantin (Kim Bodnia) that flashed along the way, the audience thought that this figure would be Villanelle, who came to seek revenge for Konstantin.

Killer Eve

But who knows, the killer is a woman, but it’s not the fierce Villanelle, but the weak Eve in the past.

After taking off her helmet, she pointed at the old man Konstantin with a silenced pistol, giving a very stunned feeling.

It’s like, a woman who is usually powerless to hold a chicken suddenly picks up a butcher’s knife to show you a good look, which makes the person unable to accept and digest the fact for a while.

In the face of such Eve, the cunning Konstantin also chose to give in, revealing the information about the killer organization.

Because she knew that a woman like Eve, like Villanelle, was unpredictable in her bones.

“The Good Man” Villanelle

“”Killing Eve Season 4″”The contrast in the first episode doesn’t stop there.

Here, Eve picked up the “butcher’s knife”, while there, Villanelle chose to put down the “butcher’s knife” and chose to work in the church.

In the hearts of other people, Villanelle is a perfect, devout believer, even more observant than priests.

Villanelle lives in the house of a girl who is also a church worker. In the eyes of outsiders, she is as cute and tame as a cat.

In the girl’s house, there is a black cat whose name is “Lucifer”, which means that even a cat is a cat from hell.

The TV series also hinted to the audience from the metaphorical aspect that Villanelle, who wanted to “reform”, could not be successful.

Sure enough, the pious Villanelle confessed in the bathroom, but the black cat who walked in broke her delusion.

The former female killer, now a devout believer, wanted to pet the black cat, but was scratched in the paw.

Once the killer’s instinct, Villanelle killed the cat in the bathtub in one fell swoop.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind is constant. The camera tells the audience that Villanelle, who wants to be good, can never be separated from the “turbulent sea”.

Just as Villanelle was about to be baptized by a priest, she became an official church worker.

The black cat Lucifer’s body was found by the nun, but her plan was broken.

This means that, in fact, Villanelle’s self-salvation has failed.

Later, even as Villanelle continued to be baptized, she shouted at the church: “Just drunk me.”

In fact, it also said that Villanelle’s whitewashing was a complete failure.

I know you best

When Villanelle approached Eve and told her that she had been baptized successfully and became a Christian, Eve didn’t believe it.

Because she knew that Villanelle had never changed her dangerous nature.

In the next scene, in the church, a black friend communicated with Villanelle in a friendly way, helping her to scold Eve for not knowing anyone, but in the next step, Villanelle pushed her back into the sink.

Not drowning church friends also shows that Villanelle still has a bit of rationality, but she is still a dangerous existence.

The reason why “Killing Eve” is good-looking is because the plot is exciting and reversed, the female protagonist has fewer themes, and it is still the killer theme. The story structure of the two female protagonists makes the plot full of dramatic absurdity and tension.

Eve and Villanelle are attracted to each other because they are two sides of the same body, Villanelle is the devil’s version of Eve, and Eve is the angel’s version of Villanelle.

The love and killing of these two people is a conflict of inner self-contradictions.

Speaking of which, our life, the process of growing up, is also an inner struggle, a war with ourselves.
