Many people have called Fox's Wayward Pines an unpretentious series, maybe a mix up of Lost and Twin Peaks – and I admit that I only start to watch because I thought that was some kind of remake of Laura Palmer´s murder. But since the first episode I realize that was something different, new and with a high addiction potential. Based in the novel written by Blake Crouch and with M. Night Shyamalan (famous by The Last Airbender and The Sixth Sense) as director, the premiere was a great surprise, but not the only one. The mystery involves the FBI Agent Ethan Burke (Matt Dillon) who suffers a car crash and wakes up in a very creepy hospital (that kind of creepy that Hollywood immortalized with big empty halls, scary nurses and crazy doctors) in Wayward Pines, Idaho. The city seems disturbingly perfect, happy and clean – a clear space for imagination. In the first episodes the mystery around the disappearing of Burke´s partner, the insistence of the nurse (Melissa Leo) and the Sheriff (Terrence Howard) in keep Burke in the city and the authoritarian regime maintained with help of weirdos residents wake in the audience the sense of investigation and make us all feel a little bit lost – just like Burke seems to be.
Anyway, this kind of plot is not exactly new and maybe because of that some had start to thinking that was another mystery series that didn't work very well in being inventive. But maybe the most amazing thing about this show is the power that has to completely blow the audience minds with only few episodes, turning the history of a man who can´t leave the town in a completely different plot, changing the characters’ minds and putting some of them (that were previously only considered irrelevant) in the spotlight. Wayward Pines definitely is not Lost and not Twin Peaks, it´s a completely different story with elements of success introduced in television by this two historical shows. The series and the characters involve you and suddenly you find yourself thinking about what you would do in those situations - and mainly because of this, I confidently tell you, worth it.
