As for your second sentence (which I will assume is literal as well), the answer is clearly no, if even just for the ways in which I was very positive towards this show in this thread. A good 90% or more of my posts in this thread were praising the show or defending it from the criticisms of others.
Similar to An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge? Interestingly, the showrunners of Dexter originally envisioned a similar ending for The Bay Harbor Butcher.
