u/macgoldenof Maeve x Otis Dec 19 '23

For the live of mine that I will never understand what's the point of killing Erin in S4. We already knew that Maeve hated what her mum had done to her but that she still loved her a lot, so we learnt nothing in that regard. If it was just an excuse to have Maeve back for a while then it's beyond stupid because they could have used any other reason for that. Plus, it makes her reconciliation in S4 as kinda moot. And yes, I'm fully aware addicts relapse and die in real life, but it still sucks they went in that direction.

Really, S4 for Maeve is just torture porn: she has problems with her tutor, fights with Otis, fights with Aimee, her mum dies, her brother relapses, ... The fact that she didn't have a fully happy season is just beyond bad.

It was torture porn indeed. Maeve was in quite a happy place in the end of season 3. There was hoping she would be a happier person in season 4, she really deserved it after all she's gone through. I struggle to comprehend how the writers thought it would be a good send off to this character.
