Just wanted to add something else, I can't blame the actors for this. These are the same actors who gave fantastic performances in the last few series of Spooks, it's prominently the writers fault IMO.

Totally agree about the lack of emotion in this series, lets take the whole Lucas & Sarah storyline.

This was a major storyline within this series, actually it's arguably the biggest storyline concerning character interaction.

Episode 808

Spoiler: show

When Lucas found Sarah in the room with a bullet in her head we could have had an emotional scene with him breaking down but no! Instead the writers decide to have an action scene, all style and no substance which quite frankly was rather pointless. One of the key characters of Season 8 has just been murdered and we forget about it in seconds and move on, kinda sums up this series really!
