I dug the cliffhanger and the Clara twist. And Sleep No More, which I quite liked too. The major issue again is the concept behind the monsters, which makes zero sense and is very silly, even if I liked the idea of the Morpheus machine itself. But it's got a good atmosphere and I liked the ending, even if the found footage riff seems wholly unnecessary.
Maybe I'm going soft...
Series 9 was my worst series since the 2005 reboot. Following the Davros two parter it goes downhill very quickly. The rest is very poor in my opinion except Face the Raven.

And then series 11 and the Chibnall era came along
