Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Wayward Pines season 2… Let’s get this out the way now. Wayward Pines is not living up to my expectations. Season two is a rudderless ship adrift on an ocean of threadbare plot lines. Tom Stevens as Jason Higgins is stuck in a thankless situation where he must […]
Wayward Pines Season 2 Episode 3 Review – ‘Once Upon a Time in Wayward Pines’
Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Wayward Pines season 2… Building character, creating backstory and broadening the creative canvas sounds pretentious mainly because it is.

Wayward Pines Season 2 Episode 2 Review – ‘Blood Harvest’
Martin Carr reviews the second episode of Wayward Pines season 2… I was wrong and admit it. Whatever my misgivings about last week’s opener things have changed down in Wayward Pines.

Wayward Pines Season 2 Episode 1 Review – ‘Enemy Lines’
Martin Carr reviews the first episode of Wayward Pines season 2… There are a few problems following success. First thing is how to repeat that without copying beat for beat whatever came before.

Wayward Pines Season 1 Episode 10 Review – ‘Cycle’
Martin Carr reviews the season finale of Wayward Pines… This review has been started over three times now. I keep going back and deleting huge chunks of text because nothing feels right.

Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of Wayward Pines… In the penultimate episode of this ‘event drama’ things take a disturbing turn.
