Dexter: New Blood has wrapped up, and fans are divided. While TV viewers have to wait until 9 p.m. ET, those who've streamed the episode, entitled "Sins of the Father," can't stop debating it. This ruckus is mainly due to its ending, which not everyone is sold on. Spoilers ahead of Dexter: New Blood's season finale, "Sins of the Father." (To watch the show for yourself, you can get a free trial to Showtime here.)

If you're really itching to be spoiled: Michael C. Hall's Dexter Morgan dies at the end of the episode. It's not a fake-out, it's a genuine death. New Blood is the end of road for the on-screen iteration of Dexter, after more than fifteen years on Showtime. His death comes at the hands of his son, Harrison (Jack Alcott) as Dexter is trying to flee after Angela (Julia Jones) figures out his crimes. (Read our recap of the scene here.) Some fans thought it was a fitting end to the character. However, others were furious that Dexter died and Angela was able to find him out.
