Wayward Pines: A Place to Die For

I saw this series before I bought it on DVD and bought it mainly for one line in one of the episodes. Can't remember what the name of the episode is.. but they had one of the "Abbies" on a table in a classroom and it was deceased. They called it an "Abbie cadaver" and I spent the rest of the day laughing on and off because, to me, that sounded like a rather morbid joke waiting to happen. "Hey .. what do you call a deceased female magician? .. Abbie-cadaver!!" (Abracadabra.. a word magicians used to say) Needless to say my humor is a wee bit dark. And so is this series. There are a lot of moments of humor.. as well as a suitable amount of dark moments. It is a very good series to get lost in while "binge watching". The characters are relatable .. and able to be well liked. The case for the DVD was in fine shape when it got here and shipping was plenty fast. I have absolutely no complaints. Thank you! :)

It was enjoyable

Bought this for my husband's birthday and he was very happy. Already watching it (again).

The discs come in a plastic snap case. The discs play fine.Wayward Pines (2015-2016) starts off strong. I liked it. But the protagonist dies at the end of the first season so I never watched season two.There were too many logic problems, inconsistencies, to keep me interested after the main protagonist died. For instance, if Burke (the main protagonist) could climb out of Wayward Pines, the monsters (called Abbies) could have climbed in. But they didn’t. When the door in the wall was open why didn’t the monsters come in? And why didn’t the monsters get into the bunker when the town was overrun the first time like they did the second time?To me the series ended when Burke died. The show was about him trying to escape from Wayward Pines. He didn’t make it.I love good miniseries like Band of Brothers (2001), Frank Herbert’s Dune (2000), Into the West (2005), Lonesome Dove (1989, Pride and Prejudice (1995), Taken (2002) and The 10th Kingdom (2000) because they have beginnings, middles and endings, like a good novel.Here are a few series I really enjoyed watching more than once: Band of Brothers (2001), Battlestar Galactica (2004-2009), Black Sails (2014-2017), Cowboy Bebop (1998), Downton Abbey (2010-2015), Firefly (2002), Game of Thrones (2011-2019), The IT Crowd (2006-2013), Jericho (2006-2008), Lonesome Dove (1989), Lost (2004-2010), Merlin (2008-2012), Pride and Prejudice (1995), Rome (2005-2007), Spartacus: Gods of the Arena (2011), Stargate: SG-1 (1997-2007), Stargate: Atlantis (2004-2009), Star Trek The Original Series (1966-1969) and Star Trek Voyager (1995-2001). I didn’t list any contemporary series I’m following that don’t have an end date yet, not conducive to binge watching from beginning to finish, or the hundreds of other fantasy and science fiction shows I’ve watched.If you like reading try some of my favorite authors: Richard Adams, Palo Bacigulupi, Suzanne Collins, Abe Evergreen, Diana Gabaldon, Hugh Howey, George Martin, Brandon Sanderson, John Scalzi, and Andy Weir.

Not exactly like the 3 book series but still worth watching!!! Matt Dillon is great!!!

It does have a couple of spots that skipped but not too bad. Haven't quite finished yet. Its a little goofy but the acting is good. What I expected. Its fun for a change.

I LOVED this show! I've been a huge M Night Shyamalan fan for most of my life and was so thrilled with the way the show ran and kept me guessing. It makes me want to read the books now. A lot of people disliked the ending but I loved it, it was brilliant. It was so M Night and definitely forces you think!

Decent story and characters, but feels a little like I have seen the material before. Obvious parallels to the classic show The Prisoner. Worth a watch if you get a good price on the box set.
