The act of a keyboard warrior who takes great delight in taking down people online is one of extreme cowardice, the mark of the scoundrel; but it is not one that is new to us in society, and since the advent of communication, since the ability to send letters in near anonymity, the scope of bringing distress and harm to others has been more invasive, terrible, cruel, and even pushed many to a place where death/suicide is an outcome the, the cowards, are hoping for.

Killing Eve. Series Four. Television Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Cast: Jodie Comer, Sandra Oh, Fiona Shaw, Kim Bodnia, Edward Bluemel, Camille Cottin, Robert Gilbert, Anjana Vasan, Adeel Akhta, Imogen Daines, Steve Oram.

All good things must end, and all celebrity obsessed, all public fascinations must finally be allowed to go out in a blaze of glory.

There have been few series that have caught the public’s imagination as much as Killing Eve, and perhaps even less that when it comes right down it, when it is actually scrutinised and boiled down to its component parts, is willing to take the audience on a trip that appeals to base function and highbrow voyeurism in a tale that is seems complicated but is actually a wonderful, well-planned tease.
