Joe doesn't go down the Killing Eve Villanelle route, for example, the route of another psychotic killer who grows a conscience, who loses her fun, interesting panache in the name of love. But this choice, this character decision to have Joe embrace his inner demon seems - perversely - to be a wise one. ![]() That much screen time with the obscenely rich royal adjacent friends and colleagues of Kate Galvin was enough. Before the juicy twists arrived in the tail end, part one of season 4 felt a little painfully long. Overall, season 4 had its ups and downs, true to its rollercoaster design.
