Michael C. Hall Might Have Also Hated the 'Dexter' Finale

Some things are left to opinion, while others are facts. Here's a fact: the series finale of "Dexter" sucked.

It was so universally hated that it was rated the worst episode of the entire series by fans on IMDB. Others have called it the worst series finale of all time. Critics and fans alike felt cheated by the ending, which seemed like a bit of a cop-out considering the rich tale of a somewhat-moral serial that preceeded it.

So, what does Michael C. Hall, star of "Dexter" think of it?

On a recent AMA on Reddit, Hall was asked how he reacted to the finale, and what he felt about it.

His response: "Probably sadness."

Of course, Hall might have meant that he was sad that the show was over, considering the fact that it went on so long. However, Hall had gone through some tough contract negotiations prior to the final seasons, in which it seemed like he might not have been 100% committed to continuing the show as long as it went.

There's the possibility, though, that hidden in that two-word message is the same feeling we all had: that Dexter the character and "Dexter" the show didn't get the ending they deserved. Would Hall have been less sad if Dexter had been caught or executed at the end of the show? In some ways, perhaps.

Whether he meant to or not, Hall pretty much summed up how we all felt about that final lumberjack image. Sad. Just sad.
