Thrilling mystery show!

Warning: Spoilers
First episode set a lot of question but not a single one was answered. Its kinda feels like a Lost. The show will definitely keep me watching till the end.

On the one hand we have a FBI agent Ethan Burke(played by Matt Dillon) who had a car accident. He wakes up in mysterious town of Wayward Pines. People there seems to be helpful but they actually aren't. Strange people, strange town, and very few people to believe. Ethan's mission is to find two missing agents. One of them is his former lover Kate Huwson(played by Carla Gugino). In that mysterious town he will try to escape but some people is trying to make that impossible.

On the other hand we have Matt's wife and kid who find out that Matt had an accident and that he is missing. They have no messages from him although he tried to call them from Wayward.

So, what's happening in Wayward Pines? Who are those strange people? What will happen next? There is a lot of questions that needs to be answered in next episodes. Be prepared!

You won't see it coming!

This is by far the best work of M. Night Shyamalan that I have ever seen. Matt Dillion is incredible as a Secret Service agent trying to locate two missing agents. As he digs deeper the mystery surrounding what happened to them is not really clear but the suspense builds as he realizes there is something not right with what is happening to the people of Wayward Pines. The reason that he can't decipher the mystery is so well hidden in episode after episode that when the "reasons" for why everything is the way it is I could not have guessed, no matter how many times I rewatched every episode. Such a revealing shock, I could not imagine how M. Night Shyamalan could have hidden it so well. The direction and pace of the first season was great. Outstanding work by the entire cast. I am glad I didn't read the book because I didn't see the twist coming and I know you won't. The book is now on my list of things to read, though it will be a little harder now that I have to finish some college courses. Season One is the one to watch, and season two was a disappointment.
