I could not have said it better.

Except they make this important distinction:

Quote:I musn’t grumble too much though. Ever since I plonked my 17 year old self down to watch Spooks for the first time nine years ago, I’ve been made to laugh, cry and shout at the TV screen, and on the whole been thoroughly entertained by what I’ve watched, no matter how often it went from the sublime to the ridiculous. I gather millions of others have too so all in all well done to everybody who’s been involved with the show for nearly a decade. We’ll all send you thank you notes in invisible ink.

A courtesy that you don't extend to Kudos/writers yourself, despite your enjoyment of previous series. I think my problem with the way you talk about never being able to enjoy Spooks again is because people who didn't like the ending and aren't being melodramatic still appreciate the show and all it has given to them.

The other problem I have with that article is that the author makes the point that they didn't like the ending because it resulted in Harry being a weaker spy because he had nothing grounding him in humanity. This is true, but the author then says they would prefer Harry to be stabbed and Ruth take over, because obviously she has a lot to lose and is grounded in humanity, NOT.
