Loved the finale. One of my all time favorites.
I’m still not sure why it would be divisive.
This question routinely pops up on Reddit and I find the more people watched the whole show the more they liked the finale.
People who watched sporadically hated it.

I gave up Dexter along season 3. Well you did miss one of the show best seasons. Season 4 of Dexter was great. Maybe I'll pick it up again, although I heard the later seasons should be garbage. Anyway, I watched the scenes in which he put him to justice (including some cat and mouse play - in which both think they are the cat...).

I like season 7 a bit but season 4 was the last great season of the show.

I was also surprised at how many people I’ve talked to left the finale thinking that they had all died in the beginning. That the end scene proves they were dead all along. Makes me wonder how many people were actually paying attention.

Of course they died in the beginning, you see any angels, smoke monsters or time travel in the real world?

Season 6 is pretty good if you ignore the Flash-sideways parts.
At least, the show ended at the same place it began; where Jack woke up at the very start of the show. And then it ended with Jack's eye closing for the last time. I was very happy with that. I liked how the Losties all reunited in the Afterlife too.
I mean sure, the ending has faults, but over the past decade it has redeemed itself significantly IMO. With Dexter being all just some lumberjack's fantasy, the mother from How I Met Your Mother barely lasting an episode, and whatever the hell that last season of GoT was about, Lost's finale is pretty solid by comparison.

I enjoyed Desmond chasing around gathering all the LOSTIES together for the finale, but no matter how good it might look compared to other shows, it is/was a huge disappointment

I would have been happy to discover that the Dharma group had used the island as a testing ground for atomic/nuclear bombs and that one of the Losties had found and accidentally triggered an undetonated leftover, that destroyed the island and anyone living there. Then Jack's death scene would have been a perfectly fitting end, and it would also have left a small door open for a spin-off (if fans wanted one)

Talking about "endings", GoT suffered because the show writers got ahead of George R R Martin, who still hasn't finished "A Story of Ice and Fire" from which GoT was adapted

Kudos for being the first show that I thought about constantly. I'd be sitting at work and suddenly something like "Hey, maybe the numbers could mean..."

Yeah, if he had said it was purgatory, all the same people saying it was real would instead be saying it wasn't. As a creator myself, sometimes I set out with an intention and the creation evolves. Lost show runners didn't have complete creative control, few show runners do. Lost was the product of thousands of creative decisions from various writers, directors, show runners, network, costume designers, set designers, actors. Actors came and went forcing rewrites. At the end, the show runner's interpretation is no better than anyone else's which is one reason most creatives don't interpret for the audience, what you intend and what you create are not always the same thing. These shows start as an idea, a short pitch, write a few pages, and suddenly it's off and running and the story writes itself.

I think the quality of the show drops a little each season, but i don`t think any of the seasons are bad. But season 6 is noticeably weaker than season 1.
At least in my personal opinion.

I find these types if channels annoying, they give opinions and frame them as facts.
