Wayward Pines (2015) is an American mystery science fiction television series based on the Wayward Pines novels by Blake Crouch.

… the pilot was directed by M. Night Shyamalan, ….

TV show is not bad. 67% on Rotten Tomatoes.

I’d say the most convincing character is Toby Jones as David Pilcher.

The plot of Crouch’s first novel in the trilogy, Pines (2012), is covered over the first five episodes of the TV series. The second and third novels, Wayward (2013) and The Last Town (2014), make up the remaining five episodes.

I’d say the writers did quite a good job translating the longer, more convoluted trilogy into 10 hour long episodes that make more sense. Changes were for the good.

Season 2 was not based on the books. Got bad reviews. And cancelled.

I won’t watch season 2.
