Michael C. Hall wasn’t a fan of Dexter finale

May 27, 2014 by Luke Owen

Warning: spoilers for the last episode of Dexter

Though it has been some time since the Bay Harbour Butcher took that boat ride into the tornado only to end up cutting wood with a beard, but fans of the hit Showtime series felt underwhelmed by the closing moments of Dexter. The final season had been lackluster on the whole, but the ending left many fans cold with its ambiguous final shot.

Well, it seems that Dexter himself Michael C. Hall wasn’t a fan either.

When asked by The Daily Beast if he liked the ending, Hall said, “Liked it? I don’t think I even watched it. I thought it was narratively satisfying — but it was not so savoury.”

He expanded by talking about the troubles they’d been having with the series, “I think the show had lost a certain amount of torque,” Hall continued. “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.”

Rumour has it that the ambiguous ending was to give the studio a chance to create a spin-off show, starring Dexter. Recently, Michael C. Hall said he would consider playing the role of Daredevil. which is currently rumoured to be heading for British actor Charlie Cox.

What did you think of the ending of Dexter? Do you agree with Michael C. Hall?
