Wayward Pines

Anybody watch this last night? 9 on Fox.

A secret service agent (Matt Dillon) goes to Wayward Pines in search of 2 federal agents, who are missing.

Not all is as it seems.

Also looks impossible for him to ever leave.

Thought it was a decent first episode. Am a fan of Matt Dillon. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

So you got it same day as us , eh , westisbest ?

I like the look of it for starters.  The location seems to owe a good deal to Twin Peaks ; but the feel and mood reminds me more of The Prisoner...if anyone else on here is old enough to remember that one

Yes first episode last night here.

Never watched Twin Peaks

Obviously, yes - and that's the original ' 60s series, not the later remake!

Don't have access to Fox but will look out for Westward Pines elsewhere. Westy and I often have similar tastes on crime / sci fi tv drama.

Episode 1 had enough to keep me interested. Episode 2 was better I think - it seemed to establish it's own identity more, away from Twin Peak/The Prisoner, but still with enough of a surreal and mysterious flavour.

I also like that there is a significant 'outside world', which again makes it different to the other 2 shows.

Rather fizzled out after an interesting start , didn't it ? The switch to a basic (and very implausible ) science fiction story after five episodes pretty much killed it ...
I've stayed with it and will watch the final ep next week ; but I doubt I'll bother with any subsequent seasons.

Presume everyone else has already abandoned ship ?

Im still watching it.

But agree has fizzled out.

Nothing special after a good start.

I'm gonna watch episode 5 'The Truth' later in but I am liking it so far.

Agree with the above - it has lost its intrigue now.

The only thing that's keeping me watching is how strange the doctor seems, I think there could be a trick or two up his sleeve!

Saying that, I haven't watched last weeks episode yet, so it could be guff!
