Uproarious laughter in Hall H for latest M. Shyamalan is already reviled by so many people that trailers for his films are routinely booed in movie theaters, and even his most recent one was LAUGHED at over the weekend at Comic-Con. However, that “twist” does leave open the possibility for more story to tell, and though it’s the end point for Crouch’s trilogy, because of the ratings, Fox has been ruminating on a second season of what was initially considered a one-off limited series.īefore I address it, let me just say that I don’t think that the TV series will choose the same ending as the novels. You see, there’s a twist in the final book of author Blake Crouch’s Wayward Pines trilogy, and - in my opinion, anyway - it’s not a good one. The mystery is gone, and Wayward Pines now seems to be careening toward a predictable, almost formulaic outcome. However, while the series initially managed to maintain some intrigue after the huge twist was revealed midway through the 10-episode season, it’s fallen into a muck of stilted acting, trite writing, and predictable outcomes (the acting and writing were always a problem, but the unpredictability of the first half of the season carried us through). In fact, it’s narrowly beating even True Detective in the 18-49 demo. Begone, if you don’t want to know how the series possibly ends.īelieve it or not, the highest-rated scripted show of this summer is Fox’s Wayward Pines, produced by M. Spoilers for both the TV series and the book trilogy.
