[spoilers] How Did You Rate Season 8?

[loladom]

Watching the re-runs on BBC Asia now after I've seen S9 and honestly feel (with the exception of 8.1) this is the most disappointing season for me. Even all the criticisms levied at S9's storyline, it was better that S8.

Agree the shaky camera work is really off putting and the lighting too dark
The sleekness was gone
It felt tired
Too much focus on Ros (even Harry took a back seat after 8.1)
They brought Ruth back and then really under used her. Much prefer her in S9
The never formally married part seemed so out of character for Ruth, they lived together, they thought about getting married, but the way she explained it sounded so stupid.
Some nice little H&R but not enough. The hand stroking too contrived and not them.
Harry spent too much time on the grid
Seemed to be more tell and less show somehow
I can see why they changed the writers they needed a fresh approach
Really dislike the actor who played the replacement HS. Glad he didn't make it out!!

I liked Ros' character (even when I hated her) in 5-7 but in S8 she just got on my nerves. Now I've watched all seasons several times, this is my least favourite I think.
