Note: Spoilers for Wayward Pines' entire season follow. For his first foray into television, M. Night Shyamalan certainly picked an ambitious project in Wayward Pines. By taking Chad Hodge’s novel trilogy and turning it into a 10-part summer series, there were plenty of challenges when it came to exposition, being able to answer questions in a timely manner so as to not bore viewers, and also in making the series standout from the original books in order to appease new and familiar audiences alike.
