"I just keep wanting to rewatch it over and over again,"
"There are so many A, B, and C storylines that I wasn't even in, so getting to see them come to life was so much fun."
"Every character at Tall Pines has their own trauma. Everybody has their own disturbing story of why they're here, and that's what makes it so real."
"She gave me the biggest hug when we met, and suddenly I wasn't terrified anymore. Honestly, I think she's ruined every hug I'll ever give because hers are just better."
Wayward is a Netflix series set inside a therapeutic school called Tall Pines that examines the troubled teen industry through cult-like control and pervasive trauma. The series doubles as an early-2000s time capsule, featuring Weezer, Third Eye Blind, Pink Floyd, low-rise jeans, and flip phones. The ensemble structure includes multiple interwoven A, B, and C storylines that bring peripheral characters to life. Creator Mae Martin grounds the show by giving each character a traumatic backstory. Cast members balanced heavy material with off-camera humor, and Toni Collette’s warm presence eased set dynamics.
