Secret Service agent Ethan Burke arrives in the bucolic town of Wayward Pines, ID, on a mission to find two missing federal agents. But instead of answers, Ethan's investigation only turns up more questions. What's wrong with Wayward Pines? Each step closer to the truth takes Ethan further from the life he knew, from the husband and father he was, until he must face the terrifying reality that he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive.
If there's any Peakites out there hoping the Pines are anything like the Peaks, you'll be sorely disappointed; however, if you judge this as its own work, and view the ephemeral allusions to Twin Peaks as superficial nods, then I think you'll find this to be a pretty excellent, moody thriller.
The acting is actually pretty strong, and the mood is tense, dark, and eerie. The character's in the first episode weren't very appealing, so I hope that given some time that improves, but there were some promising moments. Overall I think this show is better compared to a creepy Truman Show more so than Twin Peaks, and that's not a bad concept, except I see Shyamalan back treading on some "The Village"-esque territory.
