Dennis Perkins

May 23, 2016

At least in its first two episodes, Wayward Pines looks prepared to think more about what happens to its characters once the shock of that discovery has sunk in. Read full review

Daniel Fienberg

May 24, 2016

The leading man swap produces an uncomfortable sense of either deja vu or just pure repetitiveness and serves to highlight how even though the second season of Wayward Pines is still sometimes spooky, it hasn't been pushed forward nearly aggressively enough. Read full review

IndieWire Ben Travers

May 25, 2016

Horror isn't a bad fallback, and it's effectively done, considering the limitations of broadcast TV. Yet it's not enough to fully transition the show away from its foundation or even mask that the excitement is gone. "Wayward Pines" isn't a horror show, and skirting the line between genres doesn't do its story any favors. Read full review

Jeff Jensen

May 23, 2016

The mix of premise restatement and story advancement is super clunky. Bigger worries: Patric's flat character and the lack of mystery and eeriness that kept you hooked last year as the story came into focus. [27 May 2016, p.54]

Rob Owen

May 23, 2016

The mystery has largely been replaced by a dystopian soap opera that disrespects one first-season character in particular by having the character take an action that doesn’t reflect the character’s first season strength and resolve. Read full review

Mitchel Broussard

May 17, 2016

The bottom line is that Wayward Pines has lost something in season 2, and it’s not any one shining, obvious aspect. The majority of its failings come in the recreation of its basic atmosphere, which has gone from effortlessly gonzo (cricket noise boxes!) to try-hard bland. Read full review

Robert Rorke

May 23, 2016

Diehard fans may be more tolerant and overlook the bad acting and the stupid story, if only to obsess about another end-of-the-world, sci-fi scenario. The rest of us will realize that Wayward Pines has run amok and will change the channel. Read full review

I really liked the premise but it never really grabbed me and some of the characters were just too villainous. (I haven't read the books so its all new to me.) I guess something did grab me because I kept watching it.

I actually swore I wouldn't watch a season 2 after the season 1 finale, but when I saw that Jason Patric was in it I had to give it a chance. I will follow that Lost Boy wherever he may go. I'm glad I did because I LOVE the new layers of the show. The flash backs, the different perspectives, political strategy at the end of the world, the nuts and bolts of the town, evolution, anthropology....I only wish I didn't have to wait a week between shows. Jason Patric is smart and strong without trying to bully answers out of people--and I don't have to wait an entire season for him to come to grips with his new reality. The stoic Djimon Hounsou oozes empathy, compassion, strength, and wisdom without saying a word. In Season 1, the idea of Wayward Pines was just too abstract for me but Season 2 makes it seem real (dare I say plausible?) somehow.

The only thing that gets on my nerves is the whole procreation subplot. Talking about reproducing in the same breath as starvation just seems a little ridiculous. Pilcher was smart enough to master cryogenics and organize a town 2,000 years in the future--but can't figure out basic cause/effect? Establishing a primitive society? I thought about giving the season a 9/10 just because of that, but it hasn't soured my enjoyment of the show so 10/10 for me. It's all just for fun, and I'm having a good time.… Expand

Really loved season 1. People seem to be making a big deal out of Matt Dillon not returning, but Jason Patric is just as serviceable as the protagonist. He's Matt Dillon, after all, not Robert DeNiro. The first episode of season 2 did a fine job of setting up the how's and why's of Dr.Really loved season 1.

The first episode of season 2 did a fine job of setting up the how's and why's of Dr. Yeldin's arrival in Wayward Pines. The town being run by angry teens with a purpose might get old pretty quick, though. After blowing through all 3 books in season 1, it's hard not to worry about where this show is going and how it'll go about getting there. I'll be along for the ride, if only to see Hope Davis' character die horribly at some point.… Expand

I have never seen a show change in tone and quality so dramatically between seasons before Wayward Pines, and not for the better. All the intrigue and mystery from the first season is gone, coincidentally along with almost the entire first season cast. Yes, everyone you ever formed any senseI have never seen a show change in tone and quality so dramatically between seasons before Wayward Pines, and not for the better. All the intrigue and mystery from the first season is gone, coincidentally along with almost the entire first season cast. Yes, everyone you ever formed any sense of connection with is gone, leaving behind replacement characters who, while not bad in themselves, aren't enough to augment the plodding, predictable plot. There's no joy, no compelling story, just a depressing, foreboding tale about some people you don't particularly care about.… Expand

Don't waste more cash on this and bring back the depressed cop detective that we all lost in favor of this lousy WP-bs. Sadly we wont get Backstrom back as the crew are busy elsewhere. Anyhow we got 13 episodes that all of them beats any season of WP. This one is bad, worse and not worth watching.… Expand

It was just so so the first season. But here we are, deja vu same plot and dialogue from the first season episodes, a guy wakes up, nobody tells him anything, there's a "Smallville" (now that's a great movie not like this junk) vibe with a sinister (okay now it's an all-teenage, even worse)It was just so so the first season. But here we are, deja vu same plot and dialogue from the first season episodes, a guy wakes up, nobody tells him anything, there's a "Smallville" (now that's a great movie not like this junk) vibe with a sinister (okay now it's an all-teenage, even worse) HOA. Too much emphasis on authoritarianism, secret police yada yada... Same tedious preoccupation and mundane plot focus that finally sank the X Files. The premise of the show is great - a tiny conclave of humans awake 2000 years in the future from suspended animation, in a small town, surrounded by all that is left, forests filled with carnivorous humanoid mutants. It would have been interesting to see how real people would have responded to the challenges instead of this drivel.… Expand
