Wayward plot

Sixteen-year-old teens Abby and Leila are "pot addicts." When their parents lose patience with them, they are sent to Tall Pines, a juvenile detention center in rural Oregon run by an unregulated cult—with Leanne as head youth counselor. At the same time, Detective Dempsey moves to Tall Pines at the request of his wife, who grew up there and wants to return home to raise their upcoming child. But when Dempsey discovers the truth about Tall Pines, she will have to work with the teens to fight the evil from within.

A crappy story, it started promisingly but quickly became tedious. The ending is predictable. A waste of time, even Toni Collette can't keep the series afloat... Another typical Netflix case of overhyped but completely misplaced marketing...

I'm breaking the rules, I didn't make it to the final episode. What was that? A bunch of irritable teenagers, and then there was the acting and that stupid story. I was fooled again; there was something about this show everywhere, I should have known...

As is so often the case, a Netflix series is praised to the skies beforehand. Wayward is no exception. Unfortunately, it's a disappointment. The series completely loses its way in one episode. It's a shame it could have been more. After all, it's indeed common in the US for parents to dump children into these kinds of cults because they can't handle parenting.

Toni Collette is perfect for the role and gives a superb performance. But the rest of the cast barely surpasses amateur theatrics.

I have no problem with transgender, lesbian, or gay people. But emphasizing it so much in this series felt irrelevant. It distracted from the real issue.

A nice series for Donald Trump, but not for me.
