r/KillingEve had a meltdown after the series finale, and though one might easily snicker at the lugubriosity, the writing had certainly been on the wall, hit the fan then the wall, anywhere else in the house or down the plumbing except that nice stack of paper in the Stephen J. Cannell Productions closing credits. They might as well have given the characters the happy ending (together) the fans wanted, because it wasn’t as if they were doing something meaningful with them, regardless. I very much prefer the fate, however more conservative, of Korean version “K”, who at least we see in the end still defined by her own psychosis instead of a connection to another person. Same can’t be said of Ruth Wilson’s Alice Morgan or worse, Criminal Intent’s Nicole Wallace; the latter as it turns out, was un-fridged in a head-scratching single-seasoner set in English-speaking Paris and up to her old tricks with a different leading man.
