Everyone will say what they want about this finale, but personally I found it to be the perfect tragic ending to a series that I knew was going to have a tragic ending. And after the initial shock of the end of Carolyn ordering the death of Villanelle, it took me a little bit to realize why it happened.
It makes perfect sense though, because as we already know, Carolyn was original Twelve, and all this time she was playing the long game of having people do her job for her, she just ended up getting extremely lucky in the case of Villanelle and Eve. Once she realize the connection between the two of them, the power of Villanelle and the way in which Carolyn could manipulate circumstances into controlling Villanelle's actions.
When Villanelle goes in to assassinate the Twelve at the end, she is doing all of Carolyn's dirty work for her. And it's all because Carolyn recognized the connection between Eve and Villanelle in season 1. The whole time Carolyn had been playing Eve and using Villanelle to kill her way back into MI6 as well as to be the last member of the Twelve standing.
By using and then subsequently killing Villanelle, who was so interwoven into the Twelve, Carolyn uses everything to her advantage, and in the end "kills" Eve not physically, but emotionally.
10/10 I love this series so much and I find this to be the a perfect tragic ending.
