Season or series?

The article inconsistently uses the terms "season" and "series". The lead section even contains both in back-to-back sentences (i.e., . . . each of the show's series has featured a different female showrunner. Phoebe Waller-Bridge was head writer of the first season . . .). It's understandable based on the discussions above, but is it appropriate to utilize both terms or should we only use one of the two?

Only one should be used for clarity throughout. I thought it was 'series' in the infobox, but it would have to be a discussion, probably on if it should be entirely in BritEng or AmEng (it's very British, so I'd go with that) Kingsif (talk) 14:54, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
This is true. The term "series" is mistakenly used here instead of "season". It is an objective error that doesn't require further discussion to be corrected. 195.63.132.181 (talk) 13:27, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
For additional clarification: A series is divided into seasons, which again is divided into episodes. If the seasons don't build up on one another, the term of a new "installment" of the series can be used for the seasons (e.g. Fargo). 195.63.132.181 (talk) 13:43, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Wiki pages for TV shows are normally suffixed "_(TV_series)" >> I think this needs to get sorted so the page is a lot easier to find. AlexBwineglass (talk) 09:41, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Season 3 airing

As season 3 is being aired first in the UK (unlike the other two), will the ratings table be using the British figures instead? (The episodes are being released on the same day in the UK and US, but the time difference puts the UK naturally ahead). Kingsif (talk) 23:58, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Why the show made that ending

There were a number of articles to try to explain why they made that S4 finale ending. The producers, writers and stars all decided on making an ending that they believed would be truthful to the characters and provide the bad outcome that the show believed in for Eve and Villanelle. They did consider a more positive outcome for Eve and Villanelle but rejected that. Initially Sandra Oh suggested that Eve should die in the S4 finale but this was eventually changed to Villanelle being killed instead. Jodie Comer agreed to this change. When the show finished it was clear how differently the producers, writers and stars saw the show to how the fanbase saw it. They wanted very different outcomes. The show wanted a dramatic ending without much consideration for the characters and the fanbase wanted a positive outcome for Eve and Villanelle: https://people.com/tv/sandra-oh-says-wanted-eve-to-die-killing-eve-finale/ https://decider.com/2022/04/10/killing-eve-series-finale-laura-neal-interview/ https://www.buzzfeed.com/noradominick/killing-eve-series-finale-laura-neal-interview https://www.elle.com/culture/movies-tv/a39678161/killing-eve-season-4-finale-explained-interviews/C3MC2 (talk) 14:17, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
