Killing Eve places significant weight on identity aspects, particularly gender and sexuality, often at the expense of coherent, believable character arcs. The dynamic between the leads frequently veers into territory that feels engineered for modern sensibilities, with identity traits foregrounded over traditional storytelling or personal development.

The show subverts traditional gender roles aggressively: masculinity is sidelined, male characters are weak or villainous, and the female/queer characters are depicted as hyper-competent and morally complex. Family and religion are virtually absent or irrelevant within the story’s universe.

Any perspective outside the progressive worldview is either caricatured or simply not present. Traditional or dissenting values have little to no sincere representation, and all major characters share similar modern assumptions about identity and morality.
