10 TV Show Finales That Totally Divided Fanbases

In a show that contains a prevalent mystery from the outset, or the second season in this case, there is one crucial factor in making it cohesive, if not memorable: the juice has to be worth the squeeze.

The revolving door plot of a secret conspirator called "A" seemed to be laid to rest in the final episode of season 2, only for it to be quickly exhumed for the proceeding season, and just like a rotting corpse, it wasn't as enticing as it once was.
