Killing Eve is once again facing backlash, this time over its lack of diversity in its writers room. Eyebrows were raised on Friday night after one of the series’ writers, Kayleigh Llewellyn, tweeted a now-deleted post

I mean it’s PWB she’s like the epitome of
Upper middle class white feminism

[vikingsmn]

She's an Executive Producer.

So is Sandra Oh.

Oh wow

I hated how Eve wasn't the main character last season

The show is called Killing Eve, not the adventures of Villanelle (Yeah, I know it's based on a book series but nonetheless)

I only just now binged the entire series and I watched season 3 after the finale had aired

I had muted killing eve on Twitter bc I didn't want to be spoiled and didn't know

[peddlestools]

It's an adaptation. It's not a literal interpretation of the series, and it doesn't have to be

Sandra was given equal time and good storylines seasons 1 and 2. Season 3 she was a background character and the show was predominantly white. People should be upset.

I didn't hate s3 but they definitely did eve/sandra dirty. hope they can do better next season

[peddlestools]

I mean they better based on the ending

Damn it why aren't the spoiler tags easy

Especially considering the ending they should have searched for an Asian writer, if not a queer Asian writer. Apparently the writers room for s4 is "really gay" as one of the writers said but they didn't even consider putting in that specific, necessary voice??

I enjoyed season three but this can't be denied, especially when it was obvious how Sandra was being pushed aside.

People are criticizing out of love so I hope they get that. Some Villanelle/Jodie fans are foaming at the mouth about people daring to complain but god knows they would be screaming if the same were done to Jodie 🤷🏽‍♀️

[queer_bee]

Well. That explains the disaster that is season 3.

[abouttoexpire]

aren't folks tired of this "let's whine about everything" thing?

[stuffedpanda]

This is how people typically side-step racism asians face. If you don't care, don't comment whitey.

[burntxtoashes]

Its a legit thing to complain about though? Its great that they have more woman but that doesn't = diversity.

[toxic_illusion]

Dumb take is really fucking dumb.
