Martin Carr reviews the season two finale of Wayward Pines… The pigeons have come home to roost in a season finale which delivers where others have failed. Theological discussions about humanity, a person’s right for free choice and self-sacrifice fly around amongst emotional recriminations. With the inevitable threads beginning to unravel Patric finally steps up […]

Martin Carr review the ninth episode of Wayward Pines season 2… Before anyone says anything I know this is late. Things happened beyond my control and that’s an end to it. Suffice to say there have been steps taken to rectify this oversight and now we are back on track. And typically this would be […]

Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Wayward Pines season 2… What we get this week is more backstory but not served up in quite the same way. Flashbacks are designed to show us more background, deeper motivational meaning or any additional conflict or context present day actions are incapable of providing. But enough of […]

Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Wayward Pines season 2… This is a continuation of last week’s powder keg episode where Abbies had congregated outside the fence by the thousand.

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 […]

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. Before any of that other stuff can be done you have to make people care about something. Conjure up a person who is defined by dominance, instills fear but […]

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. That needless re-tread which constituted episode one, left no time for progression, proved noticeably useless and removed any tension with devastating efficiency. There was […]

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.
