[spoilers] How Did You Rate Season 8?

[lwhite53]

I found series 8 wanting, though I am eternally grateful for Ruth's return. I just couldn't seem to get into the individual eps (with a couple of exceptions), found the ever-thinning grid very problematic, hated the Lucas/Sarah relationship, and was monumentally unhappy with the lack of interplay among the main characters. I found the whole series unremittingly depressing and bleak and I never got the sense, which I did in earlier series, that the group's work really meant something and that there was, indeed, some hope for the future.
