Pines: 1 (Wayward Pines)

Product Information

As sheriff, Ethan Burke is tasked with enforcing the town’s laws, and he’s one of the few entrusted with the truth—even though, for all his knowledge, he’s as much a prisoner of Wayward Pines as anyone else. On the surface, the town of Wayward Pines seems like any other small town in Idaho. But as U.S. Secret Service agent Ethan Burke explores deeper beyond its electrified fences, he discovers a mystery unlike any other. The Wayward Pines TV series has a lot in common with David Lynch’s TV show. So much so that some argue the similarities to Twin Peaks were part of the show’s downfall. Is the Wayward Pines television series worth watching?

The series subsequently debuted on May 14, 2015, simultaneously in more than 126 countries in what Fox called "the world's largest day-and-date launch for a scripted series ever".

Has Wayward Pines won any awards?Ethan is slashed and stalked by violent humanoid predators as he makes his way through the woods toward Boise. During his orientation at the academy, Ben learns some of the truth about Wayward Pines: humans have evolved into "Abbies" (aberrations), the result of a series of genetic mutations, and are now vicious carnivores who dominate a wasted Earth in the year 4028. The citizen-abductees of Wayward Pines were kept in hibernation chambers for over two thousand years before being awakened in the town, which is essentially an ark to re-introduce and protect the human race to ensure its future. Principal Fisher tells the students they cannot reveal this truth to their parents. Ethan comes upon the ancient ruins of Boise. A helicopter arrives with Dr. Jenkins, who introduces himself as David Pilcher, creator of Wayward Pines. He explains that the town is humanity's only sanctuary. John R. Kennedy (August 14, 2014).
