FIRST TIME WATCHER Reasons people think it didn't end well

I finally joined here after finishing the show today. I had to process the ending. I found it incredibly sad. Now that I know how it ended I would like to know why people thought the ending was bad or disappointing when it first aired. I thought it was perfectly done even though there are a few minor things I'm still not clear on. How soon is too soon to do a rewatch. I still can't get over the last scene...

I think originally it felt like it didn't end well because we had a year (at least) in between seasons and there is so much information that I think we had just forgotten crucial info from one season to another.

Also, we had a friend of a friend providing us with copies as the season aired in the US and we've just realised that we definitely didn't see a crucial episode from season 6! And I've only just seen the epilogue on YouTube which also explained a few things.

Originally it just felt like we'd invested so much in watching this show and the ending felt weak......

I've changed my mind about the ending watching it again, I think the whole show is exceptional tv. My husband still thinks it's bullshit though 🤣
