David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle The elements are here to make Wayward Pines worth a visit as other broadcast shows end their seasons and head off to hiatus for the summer. Rated: 2.5/4 May 22, 2015 Full Review Robert Bianco USA Today The tone is ominous throughout in a show that provides its share of good jolts. Rated: 2.5/4 May 19, 2015 Full Review Alex McLevy AV Club Welcome to Wayward Pines, where nothing is certain, no one can be trusted, and imitation is not only the highest form of flattery, it's a way of life. Rated: B+ May 18, 2015 Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind As a whole, Wayward Pines never finds a balance between being unhinged and believable, assembling a trite ensemble of characters. Mar 4, 2020 Full Review Garin Pirnia Esquire Magazine What appears to be yet another Twin Peaks/David Lynch-inspired knockoff quickly evolves into something far more sinister. Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) But if you go into the story, you can enjoy a perfect series for the summer season.

If you enjoy problem solving, futuristic exploration, and the science of evolution, this is your new favorite show! I've never found a show with more, "OH EM GEE" moments, more unbelievable plot twists and the most unexpected ending! Wayward Pines is severely underrated! The writers of this show are brilliant!
