Somehow this last season that just ended - missed the mark. Nicola Walker is the dreariest of individuals. The character seems to carry not only her unresolved 'woes' with her into her job - but that of the victims, their families and anyone else who enters her circle of emotions. It's not empathy, if that's what the creators are aiming for - it's self indulgence that rapidly distracts from the core. How this story was resolved was a huge let-down for me. The circle of relationships never "tied up" in any dramatic or surprising way. Something was definitely missing in this season.
