After reading the online description of a certain series that everyone's been saying is good and finding out that everyone dies horrifically in the end, I suddenly had no desire to watch it (well, less than normal, I was already fairly uninterested in it but that's beside the point).

I've found that in a lot of things, I don't particularily like it when everyone just dies at the end. It just seems too absolute and contrived an ending. I don't particularily like watching a series where everyone struggles towards some end and the maker just decides "well, they all died. That sucks".

That's not to say a series can't do character death WELL, but in most of the "everyone dies" movies or series I've seen, it's anything BUT done well.

So the question: in general or in specific cases, do you like endings where everyone dies?
