Wayward

CriticsCritics: 75
AudienceAudience: 5.7

A small-town police officer grows suspicious of a school for troubled teenagers and its charismatic founder. As unsettling details emerge, the officer is drawn into a tense mystery involving the academy, its students, and the community around it.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like eerie, cult-tinged mysteries such as The Wilds or The Society; Not for you if you need tightly resolved plots, consistent pacing, and uniformly strong performances.
