Wayward Pines

2015–2016 · 2 seasons

A deceptively calm small town turns into a claustrophobic puzzle box, keeping you uneasy and guessing as each rule hides something worse.

Tagline: One road in. No road out.
Overview: Imagine the perfect American town... beautiful homes, manicured lawns, children playing safely in the streets. Now imagine never being able to leave. You have no communication with the outside world. You think you're going insane. You must be in Wayward Pines.
How it feels: Eerie, tense, dark and cynical. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Mystery, conspiracy, isolation, survival
Content: Strong violence and gore. Mild sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
