Three years later, the second season returns, when Dr. Jason Patric, the recently awakened member of Group C, found that things were still getting complicated. This man finds himself in the luxury city after meeting Sheriff Terence Howard on a vacation in Hawaii in order to fix his marriage during this period.
Wayward Pines may not be the most unique show on television, but it can be a fun way to spend an hour when the series isn't taking itself too seriously.
There are definitely more abbies in the second season, but if what you liked about the first was the insidious unknown, that's gone with little to replace it.
A second-season seemed like a good idea. But, like Showtime's The Affair, Wayward - based on the novels by Blake Crouch - was meant to be one-season show.
The world left behind is still uniquely appealing and ambitiously high concept: a small town held captive by sinister, self-righteous, fascist teens called the First Generation and encircled by a goblin-infested hellscape? Yes, sign me up please.
This may as well be a CW show like The 100 because the show is now only about trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world where there are things and people always trying to kill you.
Season 1 was, at best, a guilty pleasure with a weak ending. Now, you almost feel bad for the series in its second season, limping along, trying to rebuild from what little was left.
