The ending had plenty of solid reviews at the time.

It's just one of those things were 1) people who disliked it have been so loud about it that they created a myth that nobody likes it, and 2) online publications are incentivized to "go along" with this kind of thing even though many of them reviewed it positively.

>I really don't get how so many people managed to misunderstand it when they basically have a character knock you over the head with exposition explaining everything.

I imagine that these people got lost somewhere around flash-forwards and time travel shenanigans and just didn't have a good grasp of anything that was going on by the time we got to the actual ending.

Every season builds up to one of the brothers being fated to die, only for the other brother to secretly plan to sacrifice himself instead, while the first brother secretly plans to prevent the other brother from sacrificing himself.

Then the dead brother immediately comes back to life at the start of the next season.

truly some of the best episodes of television ever made. Also, a LOT of filler and non-sensical garbage too. All in all, well worth a watch but sadly, you can't quite get how big a show it was or appreciate how epic it was unless you were watching it live and involved with all the discussions surrounding it back then.
