I started reading it and it's annoying me already tbh, it's not just the ending I was dissatisfied with, it's from season 3 onwards, actually season 5 was pretty good but then it was spoiled by the ending when i released it had been pretty pointless and didn't make any sense. The whole temple stuff for example.

Anyway for me, the whole package matters when it comes to a TV series, the start, the beginning and the end. Infact the end for me is vital, I hate when I'm unsatisfied with the ending of a TV show. Dexter was my favourite TV show, but they completely ruined it for me with the ending (which was even worse than Lost)

Yeah, spending so much time plodding about in season 6 I found more insulting than the actual final episode. That frustrated me so much.

And killing off my beloved Juliet. They threw her character under the bus for that damn triangle when she was a much more interesting character as part of the others.

Read Damon's answers, the 'intro' part is a bit OTT

And I remember feeling just tremendous relief over the course of this conversation because my fantasy was that would be this kind of culty 13 episodes and out show. Maybe like a Firefly. That was really the trajectory that I was hoping for.
I was just thinking, ‘Thank god, this is not going to be that big of a deal.' That was the night of the 22nd.

Yeah, you could tell he really resented continuing the show. Should've given it to someone who wouldn't screw it up.

It was all biding time until cancellation.

Alright, I'll read it all

[Marsh.]

And I just broke down sobbing because I was like, ‘Oh ****, I'm gonna have to make more of this thing.'

Having a 13 episode show would have been so much better imo

Ok I read it all, I think the whole it's the journey of the characters bit that's important, is all well and good but the story has to make sense as well, doesn't it? Also, I think his thing about people wanting it to fail or having a pessimistic view on the show blah blah is just not true, not for me anyway, I really wanted to love the ending and I don't always hate the endings of shows I love. He sounds like he's trying to make excuses for why people didn't like the ending when in reality people just didn't like it cos they thought it was crap

[Locke.]

A lot of people did like it though. And lets be honest a lot of the "the ending sucked" "that show is overrated" is all based on hearsay (like Marc in this thread for example).

I can only speak for myself and that's how i felt about it, I genuinely hoped I'd love the ending of it like I do for any TV show that I invested so much time watching, sometimes it works out for me(6 feet Under & Breaking Bad) and sometimes it doesn't (lost and Dexter)

Was Dexter good right up until the end?

I thought it was good up until the last Season, the whole of the last Season was terrible though imo. Obviously the first few seasons were the best particularly 1 and 2 but I still enjoyed it up until the last one
