Spoiler Alert

It seems it wasn’t just the fans who hated the ending of Dexter. Michael C Hall has spoken out about the controversial ending, saying he didn’t even watch it because he didn’t like it.

The ending, where Dexter ends up in a log cabin after faking his own death and being responsible for the death of his sister, Debbie, and then leaves his son and girlfriend to live in a self-imposed exile was widely slammed and some even called it a ‘betrayal’.

Hall played the serial killer who only kills other serial killers for eight seasons. He told his feelings to The Daily Beast.

“Liked it? I don’t think I even watched it, I thought it was narratively satisfying – but it was not so savoury.” He said of the final episode.

“I think the show had lost a certain amount of torque, Just inherently because of how long we’d done it, because of the storytelling capital we’d spent, because our writers may have been gassed.Maybe some people wanted a more satisfying-maybe they wanted a happy ending for him, either a happy ending or a more definitive sense of closure. They wanted him to die or something, but I think the fact that he’s sort of exiled in a prison of his own making is, for my money, pretty fitting.”
