Why this is unfair?
According to the fans, Watching seasons 1 and 2 we got to know the depth of the protagonists, their miserable and unloved life but living with grace and fearlessly. The audience witnessed the sufferings of both the protagonists and their mental breakdowns. With time, they found people who can finally love them. Villanelle and Eve finally found each other in season 4 which was the most awaited scene fans have expected so far.
Audiences loved the character Villanelle and were empathetic towards her from the beginning because of her extremely strong and feminine attitude with a broken heart who is searching for love and family.
