since its initial airing, I’ve considered the series finale of Dexter the worst finale of all time. As the series prepares to return, it looks like the star of the series, Michael C. Hall was not a fan of the series finale as well. While discussing the upcoming revival series with Entertainment Tonight, Michael C. Hall admits to sharing the same sentiment with the fans and critics about the l final episode of the Showtime series. Hall said,
“I would get why it was pretty unsatisfying” but he did also speak on some positives about how it ended and how it sets up the upcoming new series:
“I totally get people’s dissatisfaction with the way the show ended ’cause it didn’t really end. It just left us in this pretty unresolved funny certain place and while I thought that it made sense for the character to find himself in that position and to put himself in this self-imposed exile after all the chaos after the show, I would get why it was pretty unsatisfying… [and] infuriating for fans, they spent all this time and were longing for something that answered some questions or tied some things up or did something that the finale didn’t manage to do. But if nothing else, it did set the stage for what we’ve been up to for the last several months in this new show, so maybe that’s the silver lining. Just as I knew that the show didn’t sit that well in its finale with viewers, it didn’t sit that well with me and I felt like I owed it to myself to explore it further if it came up. That it made sense and it did and owed it to the character and owed it to the fans for sure.”
