Scream Season 2 Review: 7 Ups & 6 Downs

3. The Killer Reveal Is Incredibly Underwhelming

No spoilers here, but whether or not you figure out the identity of Piper's accomplice ahead of the big reveal, it's safe to say that it's pretty damn disappointing.

It'll have more viewers shrugging and getting on with their lives rather than expressing extreme surprise or admiring the ingeniousness of the plotting. It just sort of happens, is one of the least imaginative choices the writers could've come up with, and brings the finale skidding to a halt just when it seemed to be picking up.

It's especially disappointing given how solid the build-up was for the reveal compared to Season 1, though in terms of the actual ending, the first season undeniably wins out.
