I just finished watching Lost. I didn't watch it in the previous decade, because everyone told me the ending was super bad. Now that I've finished it, I don't get it. What was so bad about it?

It has been several years since I watched the series, so I forget some of the 'lore'. But as I remember the finale, there are 2 timelines or realities going on. The island good vs evil and the church reunions.

The church is a reunion of people who have lived and died on the island. The plane crash still happened, the events on the island still happened, it wasn't some collective fever dream or purgatory that the passengers were living. The church just shows the characters after they died, but they are reunited with people they bonded with on the island. For example, Charlie is reunited with Claire. Those two people wouldn't know one another if they did not survive the plane crash.

If someone has seen it more recently, maybe they could provide a better example? That's the best I can describe it.

Wasn't the rest of that season them showing how the people lived after they left the island but before reaching the church? It has also been years for me.
