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. 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.
so much potential thrown away and i don't even think its to do with the loss of several lead characters. writing is just pants

Glad it's not just me, it's absolutely dire now

Really wanted to like this show, thought it had a lot of potential. In my opinion and to be crude I Think it shot its load too quick in the first season. It was a show that was advertised as mysterious 'Lost' like but gave you answers each week. the second season so far has been very poor. i'll be switching off soon.

I'm rooting for the abbies - just hurry up and kill everyone already :)

That's that done then. I really enjoyed it. And I really hope they don't do a second season, just leave it alone.

I hope they don't, it would revolve around teenagers and we don't need any more teenage horror sci fi romance high school angst shows, tons of them already. Wayward Pines was better before they introduced all the family elements, if only it had stayed at the power of that first episode.

@Mojito - As always, the books kept the tension on much better (at least to me) and was more creepy, but the ending was still pretty outrageous. I like that Hollywood went against their usual pattern and used actors *older* than the characters in the books (mostly). I like how Pam started out in the show, but wish they'd kept more of her book-self.
well the adults aren't dead if I understand correctly they are probably still frozen in the pods in the mountain complex
though they changed the ending from the books quite a bit there, that one was more final and still open ended After they all know the truth and conquered the mountain and also learn that winters are getting longer each year
which will make it harder to keep the food supply up and running, they decide to all go back into the stasis pods (including a not dead Ethan) and do another freeze sleep hoping for a better environment in the future ;-)
and at the last page they awake in the year 4000 something ;-)

wasn't having a go just saying I'm dropping the show.
Aw, don't drop the show just because of that. Especially since what was written isn't even accurate.
The adults weren't killed at all - there were a few casualties along the way which is to be expected, but the adults in the bunker were not killed if you listen to what Amy says in the end.
Though it was not what I'd hoped, I actually found the ending rather interesting. And despite them originally stating that it would be a one season only show, there is actually talk of a possible season two now. So you never know.
