Johnny Carson used to have a saying about his jokes - or any jokes: "If you buy the premise, you buy the bit." Well, the same could be said of Wayward Pines. Unfortunately, it took me four-and-a-half episodes before I realized I couldn't buy the premise. Or, more importantly, I didn't care! Typical of so much of television writing these days, there is a lot of tease in Wayward Pines, interspersed with very long, boring stretches, and then very little or no payoff. I see from other reviews and comments that the cat-is-out-of-the-bag. But I won't reveal what happens. Only to say that you will have a thousand questions at the end. How could this have happened? What about X doing that? I don't understand how... Really not that well acted a show. Poorly written. Not entertaining in my view. I had my doubts going in (the book wasn't all that good, either). I'm sorry I wasted four hours on it.
score 2/10
