SPOILER ALERT: this debate may contain spoilers about several TV series. If you haven't watched them and are planning to do so it may be a good idea to go to another debate.
It is not rare for series fans to be disappointed in the finale of their favourite series. However, these three final episodes have been the most debated and hated in recent TV history.
Aired in May 2010, the last episode of Lost was watched by 13.5 million viewers, who were left with more questions than answers to the mysteries created by the plot over the six seasons of the show's broadcast.
Dexter ended in September 2013, after 8 seasons, with an episode that drew the anger of fans, and was described as a terrible let down.
After 9 seasons of waiting to find out how Ted Mosby met his wife in How I Met your Mother (HIMYM), fans were met with a huge and unwelcome surprise at the series' finale in March 2014.

Lost is probably the worst series finale we'll ever have to suffer in our entire lives.
It was basically: "You know all the mysterious stuff happening until now that may have had some sort of pseudo-scientific explanation? Yeah, but it all meant nothing. Here, have some magic nonsense designed to cater to religious wackos that I just pulled out of my ass".
It was insulting, to say the least.
As for How I Met Your Mother, I already knew. I told people. It was the only logical reason why someone would take so long to explain such a long tale that ends in meeting their mother,. Why talking so much about stuff that happened before? Because he wanted them to know why he was going to do what he was going to do. They didn't believe me. Well it happened. No surprises for me. I wasn't there for the ending. I was there for the legen
Wait for it...
...dary ride.
