    I think I am in the minority here, but I am loving Season 2. I honestly didn't really care for Season 1--especially how it all ended. 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. Yeldin's arrival in Wayward Pines. The town being run by angry teens with a purpose might get oldReally 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

    Not as perfect as last season, but still an amazing show. As with last season, it has shocking twists, great characters, and just a creepy vibe. I'm so glad this show made it to season 2.

    Es cierto que no posee el carisma de la primera temporada y la trama es algo más aburrida, pero vamos, ¿darle un 1 o un 0?

    Eso no tiene sentido, sigue siendo una serie decente, y si te gustó la anterior temporada no tendrás problemas viendo esta.

    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.

    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.

    Somehow, Wayward Pines turned into a bad CW show. And that really leaves Patric, Hope Davis, and new co-star Djimon Hounsou entirely stranded.
