I do love a 'we stuffed up the planet so now what' story plot & Wayward Pines Series 1 does a great job of keeping you guessing. The reason why the characters are in their predicament is teased out satisfactorily & the actors do a good job of keeping the intensity up through each episode.
When the penny finally drops you care about Ethan Burke & his family so the fact they kill him off at the finale of Series 1 makes little sense. But to then replace him & his heroics with a gang of generic adolescent 'baddies' in the second series even less so. Series 2's overall story plot & character's journey felt rushed, like they were going through the motions & had a lacklustre feel. I gave up watching after the first four episodes..& it was hard work to stick with it even that long.
Series 1 - 7/10 Series 2 - 4/10.
