A secret service agent is looking for his missing colleagues in the Wayward Pines area, but he gets stuck in the secretive town.
A series that promised a lot once associated with a name like M Night Shyamalan and with a team of first-hand actors. The first half of the series is excellent, with a well-paced suspense and an intrigue worthy of a Hitchcock caliber. Halfway through, we find out what the root of the mystery is, and somehow, the attraction still exists and the mystery still works, but somewhere towards the end, everything is turned upside down and the story goes into a badly written and poorly executed "The Purge with teenagers" direction, a fact that easily cancels out any interest in the potential of a second season that might not have made similar choices. And yet, this one here seems to be the popular opinion, as the low rating of the second season culminated in the cancellation of Wayward Pines.
