To be honest, the writing quality has really dropped for the final season of the UK. Key plot threads feel rushed, some have been abandoned altogether (what happened to the "burning injustices" prophecy?) and too many characters have plot armor.
Watch them stick Jeremy Corbyn in Number 10 at the end. The guy has spent the last 10 years staring at marrows and giving an occasional "I'm 14 and this is deep" speech about supporting the many rather than the few. How the fuck do they expect us to believe he could be prime minister.
I bet they'll give McDonald the Chancellor of the Exchequer too. In the early seasons the guy wanted to seize the means of production and someone had to explain social democracy to him. Now he's going to be given one of the biggest capitalist economies in the world! I know the guy is popular with the fans, but come the fuck on.
The only silver lining is that they had to kill of the Independent Group since that story line was clearly going nowhere and wasting everyone's time.
They still feel the need to keep Chukka around though fuck knows why. I remember when failure had consequences, but now even the minor characters have plot armour.
And some people are still trying to make Johnsonbowl happen.
